Funny, for some reason I was guessing that you got the Blanka pad and it turned out that I was right.

The lack of heft is understandable since it doesn't have vibration.

The question now however, is whether or not it belongs to the exlcusive "will kill people when thrown" list of control pads (an esteemed list that includes the Sega Genesis/MD pad and all manner of DualShocks).

every store in my area only got 4. one blanka, one ryu, one chun li, one ken. for some reason akuma's isnt displayed on the back of the box.

i just thought i'd mention again the face buttons feel reeeeally nice. very clicky and responsive. i just wish i could use it more.

i called a few gamestops and gamecrazys in my area to see if anyone got the ps3 or even the xbox 360 versions and EVERYONE said that they're expecting them whenever they get the game. i also checked our system for the ps3 version of the controller and they're totally MIA. i'm guessing the other madcatz products could be out any day by this point.

very cool!

Sweet. Although I'm grabbing a TE stick, I will probably get a FightPad for XBLA games, and of course to sneak in some matches in the wee hours of the night while the lady sleeps. Clickety-clacking at 1:00AM is a no-go.

haha! definately. i'm considering driving to my local walmart right now to see if they got any. i personally don't like walmart but it's a 24-hour store. if not, i'm going to best buy tomorrow.
