I wrote:My problem with the SFIV TE stick is that it's UGLY. It is more easily modded than the Hori sticks and that's one thing strongly in its favor, but if I am going to drop that much money on a stick I want something slick looking.
But, yeah. That's American arcade stick design for you.
The lower-end stick is not that bad though, design-wise.

I can't really put it into words. To me, it just looks ugly. Perhaps if they painted the white sidebars black and made all the edges round instead of angled it wouldn't look so bad. It really screams American design. It's the American muscle car as opposed to Hori's European supercar.

Jedah, you are sounding like a NeoGAF kid now. This is because it is obvious that you know very little about arcade sticks, and yet still proceed to speak as loudly and with as much certainty as if you were an expert. So please tone it down.
Why should Capcom of Japan have created an arcade stick? Capcom of Japan makes games, not controllers.

I've spent the last 15 minutes trying to find it, to no avail. So I am just going to post it with no link. Goddamn lazy bastards. How hard can it be to post a fucking link while you are copy-pasting an entire page's worth of text?
