Hori's Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 fight stick hitting US on Dec. 8 [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

In the market for a new fight stick? We know a guy -- well, okay, it's not so much a guy as a big, faceless corporation, but you get the point.

Come December 8, you can snag Hori's custom Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 rig for $149.99, Capcom-Unity has revealed. There will be three different versions: the one with the colored buttons above, another with white buttons and a super deluxe edition with built-in cup holder and FM radio.

Okay, fine, we made that last one up, but how awesome would that be? So awesome.Hori's Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 fight stick hitting US on Dec. 8 originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Not sure if button mash happy players are going to like the start button being right there, especially since there are mashable hypers in UMvC3. I personally don't have a problem with it being there. Although a lock function would be nice.

Yeah, that is a pretty awkward position....you'd think they'd place it up top with the other admin buttons.

I don't see it being a problem.
The two buttons to the left of it are barely used, so I can't imagine hitting start by accident when mashing L-M-H-S.

It's just a Real Arcade Pro with a new faceplate.

^This. The only way you'd be using the two far right buttons is if you're doing a non-standard layout like an old school SNK (straight line) layout or set them for a multi-button hotkey. The standard physical button layouts for 4 button games are.


A B C - B C D - A C - -
D - - - A - - - B D - -

With 6 button games you still don't usually use the far right 2.

It's just a Real Arcade Pro with a new faceplate.

The standard Real Arcade Pro uses generic parts that are poor quality for fighting games, the more expensive Hori sticks like the V3 SA and VX SA use Sanwa parts. The cost and extra work of making and installing custom artwork or buying and installing parts on a stick isn't worth the $20~ price difference for most people.
