Marvel vs Capcom 3 Arcade Stick
With the wild success of the Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition arcade sticks, MadCatz have released their newest stick to their family. The new Marvel vs Capcom 3 arcade stick is based off their previous Tournament Edition sticks so the differences are only in the artwork and button colours. However they are a collector’s item as there are only 5,000 of these sticks made. The features of the Marvel vs Capcom 3 arcade stick are as follows:
The Marvel vs Capcom 3 arcade stick is officially approved by Marvel and Capcom and comes in a collector’s edition box. As with all Tournament Edition sticks it come with high arcade quality parts from Sanwa Denshi, Japans leader in arcade components. Featuring the Sanwa JLF Japanese arcade style ball top joystick, 30mm OBSF-30 snap in buttons, and the same button layout out as the official Vewlix arcade cabinets giving you a genuine arcade feel.
D-pad control switches letting you choose between the left and right analogue or the D-pad. Perfect for many other downloadable games on Xbox live.
Also a turbo button enabling use two different speeds of rapid fire for all eight buttons and can be monitored on the control panel located to the top left of the stick.
4 metre/13 foot lag free USB cable insuring that you can be comfortable when playing no matter where your console may be set up. The stick also has an internal storage compartment so you can easy transport your stick without having to worry about damaging the cable.
A heavy metal base to give you a good solid feel when playing on your lap and screw on rubber feet stops the stick from sliding around on a table. Or if you want you can easily mount to a table by removing the screw on feet.
A control panel with the Xbox home button and the Turbo lights to indicate when they are on. The control panel also has a lock switch allowing you to lock the home button and Turbo function so there is no chance of accidently hitting them in tournament play.
The Marvel vs Capcom 3 stick is also mod friendly, but will void your warranty. There are eight screws one the face plate that are easily accessible. Once undone, you just lift the top panel up to gain access to the inside of the stick. Quick connects are used on all buttons, including the
Start and Select buttons, making it fast and easy to swap them out if needed.
Top players from around the world have been using this stick and the other MadCatz Tournament Edition sticks to win or place in the top 10 at competitions like EVO and SBO for a couple of years now and although the new Marvel vs Capcom 3 arcade stick from MadCatz may be more of the same it’s hard to knock it as there isn’t much to improve on.
