Back when the game first launched on consoles in 2009, Capcom partnered with Mad Catz to release official controllers for Street Fighter IV. This turned out to be a fruitful relationship, allowing the peripheral developer the opportunity to focus on high-end, professional arcade sticks and eventually sponsor a good number of top players from all over the world.

With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the two companies will be collaborating on Street Fighter V. It was recently announced that Mad Catz will be creating a new range of controllers, including updated FightPads for players that prefer them alongside the usual standard and Tournament Edition arcade sticks.

And that’s not all. As part of the partnership, Mad Catz has also become a premier sponsor for the Capcom Pro Tour, making them the exclusive controller provider for the next three years.

With this, it seems that Mad Catz’ relationship with the fighting game community will continue for years to come.
