Closer Look at INJUSTICE: GAU Battle Edition Fight Stick

[STORMS]

First off, to anyone who may call this a spoiler, we've added spoiler tags to the image below, fyi. UsedForGlue or Jay Dickson has recently posted an image on his Facebook of the Injustice package that it looks like he won from competing in Injustice tournaments in the United Kingdom. He states that he has won a paid trip to the Warner Bros head-quarters in London where he'll compete in the finals. The image he posted shows the fight-stick with more of a front view and with more clarity than the images in press releases.

Just about one week away!

Ok so I won a paid trip to Warner Brothers HQ to London next week for the UK finals.

£200 headphones, Injustice Limited edition USA fight stick, Batman bobble head figure thing, free copy of the injustice game, t-shirt and something else.

Hopefully I can grab myself one of those. They look sweet! Big congrats to Jay for taking this though, and if things go smoothly then I will see him on the 19th

Sanwa sticks > PDP

That looks more like a spherical ball stick than the "bat stick" we've been hearing about previously.
Purchase confirmed.

 

[samson]

It looks really nice!!!!! wonder if we'll be getting any early impressions from this stick?

 

[CCVengeance]

One week till I can rub that stick.....

 

[STRYKIE]

Get Ryan Hart to sign it, flog it on eBay to some sucker and boost your Evo funds fool

Joking aside, one of the better game specific sticks I've seen, could be worth keeping since we're not officially getting these in the UK...

Yeah. I thought it was meant to be the "bat stick" but this doesn't look it. I'm hoping it is spherical in all honesty, I prefer those sticks.

As will I.

Quite honestly, it looks like a hybrid between the two different types, that can be held either way.
I'm still pleasantly surprised, even if it is battish.
Thanks for the picture, mayne.

Totally agree with you there dude. It doesn't look too (Pardon the innuendo) "stiff" to use. Assuming things go well for me in the Lewisham tournament I should get my hands on this too. I'll mess around with it and probably make a video for YouTube about it, a quick review.
And no problem.

 

[Death]

Oh nice looks awesome

 

[Euphoric]

I like it but I don't, it's weird, I don't like the fancy cuts and the sides/bottom. Why can't it just be a regular rectangle.

Are the buttons Seimitsu or at least a knock of seimitsu?

 

[DirtyLary]

Awesome. I like to gamble, I ordered one yesterday.

 

[Snakewise]

Looks good. I fully paid off the Battle Edition a couple of weeks ago because I was tired of blisters and such from pads and didn't have a stick, so it's nice to get a better look at it.

Any explain the "Bat stick" thing to me? What are you guys talking about?

as for all this, it looks sweet glad i preordered this edition. Im terrible with the dpad and the joystick compared to arcade sticks.

Throughout fighting game history, there have typically been two types of arcade fighting game cabinet controllers.
The "Ball" stick, that being the one with the analog stick in a ball shape, was the one more commonly seen with japanese fighters, even to this day.
United Statesian fighting games like Mortal Kombat, or Killer Instinct, were shipped with an analog stick that resembled a "bat", and the "bat-stick" was born.
Buttons tend to have similar layouts on both, just a joystick shape difference.

So this one would be the non-bat one right? This is the ball stick? So its only the top of it that is different?

This one seems to be a combination of the two.
The typical ball sticks, seen here

The ball stands upon a much thinner obelisk of a base.
The injustice stick is a bat with a round top- a nice idea, and better pictured here.

These are batsticks- most famously seen on the old Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets.

It's a bat. Depending on what they used, it may be swappable with a ball. Won't know until we get a tear down...which I will be doing as soon as I get it.
