About three rounds into it I could already feel the blister forming on my thumb. But I wasn’t going to let that stop me from unlocking Akuma.

I’ve always played my fighting games with the joint of my thumb, or any game for that matter. I’m not sure why, perhaps it’s the same reason I hold my pencil with one less finger than I should. Whatever it is, it sucks now. I can’t play Street Fighter IV anymore because of X-Box 360s horribly gigantic d-pad. The thing has teeth.

A lot of my friends who are super hardcore have joysticks and now I’m starting to wonder if I should too. If the thing weren’t 170 BUCKS! What the hell? I figured it’d be around $60 to $90 for a decent stick. This isn’t Steel Battalion, but if I were to buy this thing it’d exceed Steel Battalion’s price tag! Maybe there’s a better option out there. I never really trusted Mad Catz anyway. Something about that “Z”. >_>
