MadCatz Soulcalibur V Arcade Stick Raffle!

The raffle is now over! Congratulations to the winners, you have been emailed!

I would like to put together a 24/7 live stream for SC5, the same way SRK has their 24/7 channel. Unfortunately to do this, I'm going to have to set up another streaming setup at my house. So in order to make sure I have enough funds for this I'm going to have a donation drive/raffle.

MarkMan from MadCatz has graciously gifted us a pair of these new sticks. So what I'm doing is, starting right now until next month, everyone who donates $5 will be entered into the raffle for one of these sticks. You are free to donate more and buy additional raffle entries at $5 each. The MSRP of these sticks is $159.99, so this is your chance to get one for cheap.

The arcade stick is for the Playstation3, but because of MarkMan's genious designs for these sticks, they are very easy to modify to make them multiplatform. MarkMan and MadCatz are in no way involved with this raffle, so do not send them emails with questions, or hold them responsible for any issues.

$5 a raffle ticket, payable via Paypal at http://8wayrun.com/donate

 

If only I had a Paypal account or something- as well as the permission of parents for me to at least put in $5 from my debit card just to enter this raffle.

Now would be a good time to start practicing on an arcade stick.

 

Done.

If I win I want you to autograph it, haha.

Since shippin would cost I'd probably have you keep it and if Talim's in SCV then maybe I'll make it the prize for some Talim comp (like I did for SCIII).

 

Oh how I want to derail this with Talim talk.

No, you know this is awesome. I will chuck 5 dollars at you tomorrow.

 

Great idea. I've played around with the idea of converting to stick, since I have a hard time with 236236 on the 360 controller's joystick, might as well throw in $5 on the off chance I win, and support the community.

 

fk!!! these sticks are very nice!

 

Done!

 

Nice sticks indeed!

*Throws money at Jaxel*

 

i just bought one but ill give it a whirl

 

I would like to see this as well, but Namco doesn't have a good track record with performance for online fighting games.

I'll wait to see before I donate.

 

If I donate $15 at once, does that get me 3 entries?

 

Very nice but i dont use Sticks anymore, the arcade scene died in DR in 2001, i would like them to do a controller too, especially that at evo you cant use your ps3 controller, just saying im just a clerk

 

Donated US$ 15,00. Three tickets for me!

 

LOL MadCatz? Um, no thanks.

Is there a reason you don't MadCatz or do you just want to be an ass?

can someone explain to me why this is 160 dollars retail?

Do you even know what a MSRP is?

What Malice said - for a brand new TE, $160 is cheap.
We pay almost double in Britain.

 

Is there a reason you don't MadCatz or do you just want to be an ass?

Yes, there is a reason, good sir. They don't make quality products. Like I bought their headsets, and everytime you turn it on, you can hear this loud, looping hiss. And their controllers as well. Overtime their bumbers start sticking. Besides, alot of people HATE MadCatz products.

 

And the fact that the SF4 TE rnd 2 is the best and most dependable stick available today means nothing to you I take it?

Alot of people love their arcade sticks. Go to any tournament and you can find them everywhere. If they made a crap stick, then this wouldn't be the case.
