I need the Eightarc Fusion Stick in my life because fighting games have been a part of my life for the past 6 years and I want to continue my passion through this stick. Just recently my Madcatz TE stick died on me and so I am without a stick and I truly believe that the only way to enjoy fighting games is through a quality stick such as the Eightarc Fusion Stick, which I tried out at Dromstruction. I've actually met the folks behind the Eightarc sticks such as 725 at Dromstruction which was held at UC Davis. I bought a shirt from them and hope to support Eightarc in anyway I can but for now I am broke. Hopefully I win this stick to help me continue playing fighting games, the way they're supposed to be played!

I need this Eightarc Stick in my life because I go to the local arcade in my area in New York, the tournaments there for fighting games are primarily on XBOX 360. However, in my house I have a PS3. The fact that this stick is dual modded for both system will prove to be very convenient. I'm in college at the moment and I recently had a Hori stick, however last year the stick died on me. Paying off my tuition I definitely can't afford to buy a stick at the moment. I definitely go to Eightarc's website from time to time just to check out their sticks because, let's face it, they have the prettiest sticks haha. Hopefully I win so I can do what I love more often, which is play my fighting games and have the ability to enter tournaments more often. Later guys.

The Eightarc stick will give me the feeling of the old arcade games i played when i was a kid. It will go well with my PS3 games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken 6.

[slyfox87]

ah I'm terrible at this ... I need the fight stick because I love playing fighting games and I feel it would help me actually win online matches lol ... The fact that it works on both the 360 and the ps3 is amazing since I completely suck at fighters using an xbox controller... so yeah I need this controller so I can actually be decent at the games I love playing

This Stick reminds when I used to play with my older brother's Super Nes Score Master. We used to play a lot together with that........well :P I was little back then....he was 14 and I was 4 years old so he let me play a bit with it, just a bit so I wouldn't break it (A). He passed away 3 years ago, I have very fun memories of us playing SNES (BEST SYSTEM EVER!!!) together back then, we spent hours playing with the arcade controller....well, me watching him play :P. I don't have his Super Nes Score Master anymore and this Eightarc Fusion Fightstick will mean much to me. I always wanted to purchase an arcade controller like this to play fighting games like I did back then with my brother , but cant afford one since they have always been crazy expensive. Would be awesome to win this Arcade Stick. I need this in my life!!!

[lionheart88]

I've been entering these contest giveaways and never won at least once... I even donated to aris from Avoiding the Puddle.com to enter and Fchamps raffle to win a fightstick.... Ok I had been playing fighting games ever since I started Tekken 1 from PS1 to PS2's Tekken Tag and other games such as UMvC and DoA4. The only thing is I play on pad, some peole suggested that I should get an Arcade Stick but never had a chance to get it. And now I need me an eightarc Fusion Fightstick to test my fighting skills to the next level using a Fightstick not a joystick. Eightarc FTW!~

[snova34z]

i need the fight stick cuz it will feel like im playing the old arcade games back in the days this sweet piece of tech will be great for umvsc3 and mortal kombat complete edition lastly its a prize from psu thats the best part!!

[thesupernova777]

I need this stick because as a long time fighting game fan (I've been playin Street Fighter since the very 1st one in 87') my standard edition Madcatz Street Fighter IV stick has crapped out on me. Fighting games don't feel the same on a d-pad, never have & they never will. I need this stick because fighting games are what I live for and they are by far my favorite videogame type. My Madcatz standard edition crapped out on me a week after SF x Tekken came out and as a result I haven't gotten a chance to dive into it the way I want to. Skullgirls is another game I've been wanting to get my mitts on as well but, again without a proper stick, I can't fork over the cash if I'm unable to enjoy the game as it was meant to be enjoyed. The only time I get to use a fighting stick since mine died is when my friend Rene comes over to play but, he's selfish and rarely shares. Not one to gloat nor am I a fan of rubbing stuff in peoples face but, I need this stick to rub it in Rene's face and resume the top quality beatings given online as well as offline. In closing... I NEED THIS STICK !

[Mildew23]

I need this fighting stick because I want to get into fighting games but can't stand playing on a d-pad. I recently started to learn the new fighting game skullgirls and I'm not half bad, but my combos keep dropping simply because I don't have enough control of the motions. I've been trying to enter fighting games for years now since I used to play them back at the arcades when I was a kid, but I just can't have fun with a standard controller

[macho0001]

No doubt this would be awesome to have. This would bring me back to the days when arcades actually existed in my area. Those have been since long gone and I have add to learn how to play fighters with a standard controller.....heavy sigh. This could easily step my game up back to were use to be.

[BNPeanuts]

I need the Eightarc Fusion in my life because it'd be a new way to play Dead Or Alive 4, and would give me a good way to play beat 'em ups on the PC.

[zoron007]

I need the Eightarc Fusion fightstick because I love playing fighting games. I will play with this, Tekken, mortal Kombat, Street Fighter X Tekken...

[BOZTRADAMUS]

I need it simply because I have never owned a fight stick. I have a few beat em up games so I have good use for the stick and surely with the stick I will be able to improve my gameplay. Maybe not on Fuudo's level but ill get better for sure lol

[falconz]

I need the eightarc fighting stick because I am tired of getting the business end of Sagat players. Well, okay, I should say other players that have a leg up on me because I am using a Dualshock controller, and they are using a stick.

[BikerSaint]

I need the Eightarc Fusion fightstick because although I've been gaming for well over 35+ years now, & even at the ripe old age of 59 years old, I still kind of suck at fighting games.
And as an avid video gaming collector too, with 46 consoles & hand-held's, as well as 2,337 games in my gaming collections so far, I still can't afford a "good" $170+ current gen fightstick now that I've gotten laid off from my job of 21 years, with no foreseeable work looming in the near future.
So when you're about to pick the final prizewinner, please think of this ole gaming geezer, who's still a "Toys R Us" kid at heart when it comes to anything video gaming.
PS, my PS3 & 360 both need this fightstick more than I need dentures, LMAO

[$Greatness$]

Never owned a fight stick and I'm a fighting game fan through birth. I own them all! King of Fighters 13, Super Street Fighter, SF X Tek, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Mark of the Wolves etc. I've been a pad user all my life, but for the last two years I've been wanting to go with the fight stick. I saw the potential while using them at tournaments like Otakon here in Maryland. At one point I was going to even buy a custom stick with custom art, but wasn't able to. I wanted a Qanba stick, but haven't gotten that yet either. Through PSU, my hope of having a stick is that much closer. It's everything I need. A solid, solid hybrid stick so I can take the ass-whooping to PS3 and Xbox.

[daLa]

I need the Eightarc Fusion fightstick in my life because sticks are so much good & fun to play with (NO HOMO) and I used to love playing fighting games on old school arcades and also haven't owned a stick like that for any console so it would be a great addition to my PS3 setup! That's pretty much it to be honest.

[jwhyrock]

Well for one I'm in North America so I'm usually exempt from your contests *cough* competitions, however, more importantly I think it would be extremely kick ass to utilize this stick to pummel opponents with the upcoming .Hack // Versus fighter. Perhaps the single most important reason is that it will be in a prominent position in my home theater setup where it is visible as a piece of tech art, not just a component to break out of a dusty cabinet for the occasional bought of fill in the blank fighter. It actually looks cool!

[|Terminus|]

I need the Eightarc Fusion fightstick so I can finally kick my friends butt in KOF13. We've been playing fighting games since Street Fighter 2 Turbo and we're quite competitive. Up until recently we were around the same skill level in most fighting games until, when we both got KOF13, he purchased his own fightstick. Ever since he bought it he has mopped the floor with me over 90% of the time, able to string combos that are extremely difficult on a regular controller.

I believe that with the Eightarc Fusion I will finally be able to gain back some ground, stop the relentless taunting and, most importantly, take the smug look off his face

P.S. You can tell my favourite character is Kula Diamond

[|Terminus|]

Yeah Skullgirls with a fightstick would be awesome. I also like our shared goal of personal revenge

[Jimster092]

I need this Eightarc stick in my life because I have been stickless for my whole experience as a competitive fighting game player. I've been going to my friend's house to play on his stick (no homo) but whenever we play against eachother, I am always the one on the pad, causing me to tone down my combo potential and execution. The only sticks I have ever played on were MadCatz TEs and HORI sticks, so it would be awesome to win one of these

[chuyxxx]

I need this stick really badly. Me and my cousin have been playing fighting games ever since we could properly grip a controller. The years passed by and eventually we moved on up to arcade sticks. We became extremely competitive as time went on throughout the years and always managed to settle it on either the PS1 or the PS2. Well this past console generation he opted out for an Xbox 360 and of course I stuck with good ol' Sony. Ever since Street Fighter 4 first came out we have been smack talking and boasting our abilities. We have never been able to prove who the better player is due to the fact there hasn't been a compatible fightstick for both the Xbox and the PS3 simultaneously. With this in my arsenal I can finally settle the feud and prove who the better player truly is.

On a side note, my birthday was on the 14th of April and this would make for an extraordinary belated birthday present.

[DMCaddict]

I have been playing fighting games since I had my Sega Genesis. Nowadays I've been wanting an arcade stick in order to participate in tournaments and learn more complicated combos for different characters which are awkward to do on a regular controller. Also.........

I want to be the very best,
that no one ever was,
to practice is my real test,
to defeat them is my cause.
I will travel across the land,
searching far and wide,
for opponents who understand the power that's inside.
Arcade stick!!!!!
It's you and me!!!! I know it's my destiny!!!!!!
Arcade stick!!!!!!!
You're my best friend, in a world we must contend!!!!!
Arcade stick, a fight so true,
our technique will pull us through!!!!!!
You'll try me but I'll beat you!!!!
Arcade stick!!!!!
Gotta own 'em all!!!!!!
