I bought this fight stick to specifically play Street Fighter 4. It came recommended to me by a friend of mine who is a fighting-game aficando and who owns multiple arcade sticks from different makers.
I enjoyed playing Street Fighter 4 with my 360 controller, but found it difficult to pull of some of the bigger combos and precise timing. In addition, I wanted an arcade stick because the last time I really played Street Fighter was in the arcades when I was a little kid. Ambivilent to spend too much money on a game I enjoy, but otherwise don't put in everyday, I wanted something inexpensive as well as reliable.
My friend recommended the EX2 fight stick. Possibly the oldest arcade stick to hit the 360, I was uncertain about it since so many iterations were already done to this model and, therefor, there were much more improved versions albiet at a much higher price.
My worries were unwarranted. As soon as I plugged this in, everything about Street Fighter suddenly came back to me. The feel of the moves, the combo patterns, etc... It's tactile. The joystick "clicks" when you move it (which I happen to like, but others may not), and the buttons can stand my abuse as a mash away on them like crazy.
The joystick itself hasn't really made me any better of a Street Fighter player on-line, but it's made the game far more enjoyable. I'd highly recommend getting this arcade stick if you have the money and want to get the most out of your Street Fighter 4. Looking forward to SUPER Street Fighter 4 with more gusto!Get more detail about Xbox360 Fighting Stick EX 2.
