Four fightsticks for Xbox 360 for playing Street Fighter X Tekken

[Esmond Ivers]

I just started playing Street Fighter X Tekken on my Xbox 360 and just loved it. But I am finding it difficult to play this game using the Xbox 360 controller. I want to purchase the fightstick meant for fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter. I visited a local hardware shop in our locality and the vendor showed me an wireless fightstick. It was expensive and dropped the idea of purchasing it. I asked for the wired one, but he said that most of them are incompatible with the latest hardware and thus he doesn’t provide them. Since I have my friends coming to my house, I don’t want just one; I’ll purchase four fightsticks so that all my friends can play comfortably. Can someone suggest me a good fightsticks that I can use to play Street Fighter X Tekken comfortably?
