Cool, I did too. Luckily everything came in one piece. I even got another one which I'm unsure what I'll do with.
[quote name='GuardianE']There's a whole lot of bitching about nothing, basically about not receiving their sticks early like everyone else, but there're a few people in there would have had legitimate complaints.
There's was one guy who was arguing that the stick was "FUNCTIONAL" and we shouldn't be bitching if there are cosmetic blemishes, which is complete bull. This was marketed as a the best domestic stick available and as a collector's piece. Those people with scratches on their TEs have every right to complain.[/quote]
Really? I never thought Madcatz and collector's piece could be used in the same sentence. Well, at least not yet.
[quote name='kainzero']it's kinda obvious.
as an example, i'll use basketball. like even though shawn marion looks like a weirdo with his one-of-a-kind shot form, there's a certain amount of control that he has when the shot comes out that everyone understands.
granted, you will not be able to tell the difference between a good player and a great player, but you will be able to tell the difference between a scrub and one who is average. as players develop an affinity for the stick, their movement becomes more efficient.
you can do the same with regular controllers too.[/quote]
That was a bad example. Shawn Marion is horrible, don't even know why/how he got those Nike sponsorships when he was on Suns.
Efficiency? Look at Rick Barry, who had an extremely high free throw percentage. Shooting underhand isn't exactly efficient, nor is it "cool" looking in today's standard. But somehow he shot such a high free throw percentage. It was because he felt his routine was most comfortable and stuck with it.
I just feel comfort has more of a role than "efficiency" in the performance of an individual.
