Does anyone know if the Hori DOA4 stick is coming out in the US for sale? I have heard that there are two versions...import and domestic, and i cannot find one in any local shops...
any info would be very cool...

it is out, I got one last week when I picked up DOA4, but I hadn't even opened it yet, but its 59.99 us, and its (from what I have heard) a pretty solid controller. Kinda on the pricey side. Thats all I know for now, until I have a chance to crack it open and kick the tires.

Its a Hori stick of course its worth the heavy price tag. I think anyone else who owns one would agree with me.

I've got one and it's a fine stick, but something about DOA doesn't connect with it for me. Dunno.
Just need to play with it more I guess but with how off axis DOA plays, it seems an analog stick is more apt to the experience.

I saw a few for sale in Game Stop a week ago. I would get one fast, they will probably sell rather quick.

Some good news, the Hori stick works on the PC for all your emulated goodness. I've had mine for about a month now, and it is one of the better sticks out of the box, that is available directly to the US Market.
As far as a Hori stick goes, it's alright. The buttons have issues compared to authentic arcade parts. If you're familiar with arcade sticks, the DoA4 one is exactly like the Fighting Stick EX that came out for the Xbox. The stick is alright and is just like the SC II stick(Hori), the buttons though are the big problem. Replacing them if they go bad(which I've heard reports of already) will be a bitch too.

What settings and drivers do you use? My PC's ident it was the DeadorAlive4 stick and the stick is set as a HAT control and not direction. All the buttons work just fine though. I tried it on 3 computers and I had the same results on all. I also tried it on a ps2, doesn't work with them. It works great on the 360 though. :D

OK i just got mine in the mail. So Sexy, so very, very sexy. But has anyone else had problems countering with it? I just can't get the timing right.
Not the timing of the reversal but actually the timeing of the arrow and Free.
