Mad Catz Offering Buy One Get One Free Deal on Korean Edition Arcade Sticks

mcz-ke-b1g1-622-crop

If you’re looking to get a jump on your holiday shopping this year, Mad Catz is currently offering their PlayStation 3 compatible Arcade FightStick Korean Edition in a remarkable two for one deal. This means that you can grab a pair of these quality sticks for a total of only $129.99.

These arcade sticks come equipped with battops and circular gates, so they’re a bit different from the standard Tournament Edition offerings. A closer look at what these controllers offer can be found in our official review (spoilers: they’re quite nice).

The sale is slated to run “just this week/early next” according to Mad Catz community manager Mark “Mark Man” Julio, but he also made sure to stress that supplies are limited.

Whether you’re in the market for a couple of backup sticks or need to buy some gifts for those friends who seemingly have everything, this discount is tough to ignore.

Make Your Opponents See Stars with These Dizzy Combos for Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Akuma

Akuma is capable of dishing out some seriously high stun numbers in Ultra Street Fighter IV while chucking plasma and delivering blows with his unique far standing roundhouse and other tools. NintenCore2000 took the Demon to the lab and figured out some ways to deliver enough stun to an opponent to result in a dizzy. Oddly enough, the first combo demonstrated only works against Akuma himself thanks to his low stun threshold.

The following option, however, works on a handful of cast members, though they are unlucky enough to share a still quite low 900 stun. After the defender has started seeing stars, Akuma can, of course, open up with a Raging Demon to push those damage numbers through the roof.
