Any alley brawler worth his or her salt knows that when it comes to succeeding at
Street Fighter IV, a standard controller doesn't really cut it. You can try and hold out on purchasing a custom-tailored joystick, but consider yourself warned: Capcom and
Mad Catz are trying very, very hard to break your spirit. Earlier today, the peripheral manufacturer
announced "Round 2" of its line of FightPads and a brand new FightStick, all of which will be dropping later this fall.
At $149.99, you'd have to be a fighting game fanatic to shell out for the Tournament Edition FightStick -- though that black and white motif is strangely alluring. You're more likely to spring for the $39.99 FightPads, each of which feature a design based on one of the game's characters.
