I do not know what Matcatz is thinking release such an expensive stick, when you also consider its the only known Fighting game on xbox one at the moment. At the least, release a cheaper one for the mass.
I played street fighter 4 with the 360 pad. No issue at all. I find the analog stick much better. The Dragon punch & full circle motions can be entered without any problem. I think its a misconception that you need to use the D-pad for fighting game.
Main things I do not like about pads, is to use the shoulder buttons for attack, & its easier to press 2 buttons on a stick than a pad. That's & arcade stick feels more like......arcade.
I have the Arcade Pro stick, which I bought for about 33€, works well, & I think this is a more acceptable price for casual gamer.
The reason I posted it was because a gaming site may have leaked the final list. Just because somethings not confirmed doesn't mean its bogus.
That box art seems to suggest Spinal and Fulgore
I can't play this kind of game with a pad, never really could. I grew up around a thriving arcade scene and mostly played fighters there. I had to deal with the D-Pad for home version (Genesis) of SF2 but i never really enjoyed using them vs the arcade joystick. Analogs are much better than D-psds for me and if i have to use a controller for a fighter then i'd rather that( even better if there was a six button pad with analog stick on it), but given a choice i'd still choose a arcade stick. Like you mentioned, having to use shoulder buttons for attacks suck.
I tried playing with the 360 pad too...just couldn't do it. The analog sticks are just too slow compared to the d-pad...I couldn't do things like dashing and focus cancel combos quickly enough....so I ended up buying the stick and a couple of the 6 button pads. Hopefully on the X1, the standard pad will suffice.
You are right about dashing being harder to perform on Analog. Focus cancel combo are already very hard, & I can never do them consistently no matter the input device. But nothing is worst than those 1-frame link combos. They are unnecessarily hard, worst with lack.
I am happy the Ki do not have such inputs.
i want to know who is the girl next to April in the background, maybe it goes with the machine gun emblem?
I'll take a guess that the two remaining characters have to do with the skull/crossbones and the assault rifle.
Skull = Spinal?
Gun = Fulgore?
Gun = Fulgore
Spider = Sadira
Animal = Saberwulf
Double axes = Thunder
Creepy hand = Glacius
Circles = Jago
Skull = Spinal
Whatever that is = Orchid
TeGu
Black lizard baritone-jazz in the soul bone
Egad! The Illuminati are involved with KI!
game is gonna whoop asss or heads will roll...literally.

I'd love for the skeleton guy to be included at some point. As a kid, he was my favorite because he reminded of the skeletons from the Ray Harryhausen movies.
