If you even remotely follow the competitive Street Fighter scene you undoubtedly know Daigo, the 28 year old guy who is regarded by many as the best Street Fighter player in the world. Well, it seems that he will be teaming up with Mad Catz to promote their critically acclaimed FightStick controllers.

Daigo will be using the controllers at every tournament he attends in addition to urging attendees to check the sticks out.

Now, I have tos ay I’ve had some problems with Mad Catz peripherals in the past but they have really turned themsevles around and these night FightSticks really lets that shine through.

MadCatz and Capcom have recently detailed their intentions to bring a limited number of exclusive Street Fight IV controller to this year’s Comic-Con.

Mad Catz Art Director, Roentgen D. Reyes, commented on the hardware’s artwork:

“When we set out creating the Limited Edition artwork we knew that we had to create an impactful design that was radically different from the previous imagery and color schemes. With that in mind we chose not to concentrate on a group of characters but instead produce something targeted to the fan community. After working through a number of designs, we focused on one of the strongest ‘fan-favorite’ characters in the game, Sagat. The character is renowned for his large scar which game legend tells us was caused by archrival Ryu. In my mind, playing Street Fighter® IV evokes the player’s competitive nature, with rivalry a key element of the experience.”

The exclusive Tournament Edition arcade sticks will go on sale for Comic-Con attendees for $179.99 while the exclusive SF4 controller, pictured after the break, will go on sale at the convention along with on the Mad Catz website for $49.99.
