My new Street Fighter X Sanrio Fightstick!

Post by Draca »

"There are some things in this universe that are so awesome that they blow your mind, and you just have to have them." says my husband to me after I come home. We had been watching the SoCal Regionals all weekend and apparently my husband saw something so incredible it changed his life while I was gone.

Now I am a huge Chun Li fan (so much so I always choose her even though I can't fight with her effectively in both Street Fighter and Marvel VS Capcom) and I am an even bigger Hello Kitty fan (I have a hello kitty version of almost everything...and I mean everything). So when my Husband pulled up a picture of the Street Fighter X Sanrio Fightstick I just about passed out from excitement. And I knew at that moment, like he did, that I NEEDED to own that fightstick.

Like the amazing husband that he is, Jay_Red immediately looked around at what video games/ accessories he could sell to make enough to buy me the stick. (Thank you btw to anyone out there who bought something) And here it is! Just arrived today with its amazingly colorful box art! Although Hubby had already opened it (and even played with it :? before I got home) He placed everything back in the box just like it was new so I had the same feeling of unboxing it!

While there isn't really too much info out there about this stick, which seems strange to us, it really feels amazing. We have been playing with the madcatz SE fightsticks for the past year and there is a wold of difference between them and the Street Fighter X Sanrio stick. Since I was getting a new stick of course Jay_Red had to get a new one too. We are waiting for his Hori RAP VXSA, which will hopefully be here this week.

Trying out the stick I played pretty much all the fighters we have Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom, King of Fighters, tried to play Super Street Fighter 4 (which I've decided I just can't play competitively) and all were really smooth and responsive. Since I wasn't feeling Street Fighter, which is Jay_Red's game right now, he suggested I try Virtua Fighter since they just played that for Sunday Fight Night. Now I don't mean to toot my own horn, but after 15 mins of instruction I was kicking some ass (well for never playing the game before) Tried playing online and won 3 out of 5 rounds. I am very much looking forward to Sunday fight Night and playing with you guys.

These are also limited edition, 500 per console. They come numbered on the bottom, this one being 277 out of 500.

It is oddly appealing. Congrats on your new stick.

Winning over an opponent with this stick would be epic. I can see the announcer saying "Dude! You just lost to a guy using a Hello Kitty stick!" (crowd laughs)

Looks like it has good sticks and buttons. Have you looked under the hood? Is it easy to mod?

It is the same thing as any of the other high end Madcatz sticks (T.E., V.S., etc.) All Sanwa parts, easy to mod if you want.

That is an awesome stick. I would never be ashamed to have that as my own. (although my wife would give me strange looks). Extra kudos for giving Virtua Fighter a shot and enjoying it! can't wait to play you guys this sunday night!
