I got mine a few days ago as well. My quick review: the Dragon is the standard bearer to which all other production products will now be held against. It's an absolutely amazingly well designed and crafted piece. It feels robust, and like every part uses the highest quality they could get their hands on
sup3rskrull A friend of mine has a TE2, and the response time feels very similar. Without legitimate input testing equipment, I couldn't tell you specifics. However, I've had no issues with feeling like it holds me back in any way.
Quick unrelated question, what kind of FGC stuff is there in Colorado? I'm having a hell of a time finding anything like locals. I can tell that's where you guys are set up due to the Tradesmart video.
+Gyaretto, the Brave and the Bleh Yeah, Colorado indeed! What's sad is Tradesmart closed 😔😔. But the FGC scene here is pretty active! A couple great places in Denver to go for matches with a good community. It's solid. I can't speak for other areas so I don't know how it compares as I'm also just a casual player so I'm not mega deep into things, but is a great scene. Lots of great people.
Gyaretto, the Brave and the Bleh - look for "Extra Fresh League" which has a fb page for all events ping on, weeklies, etc. depends on what game you play but if you message me on twitter I can find someone for you for just about any scene from Denver Up
TJ Kombo Ah no worries then! Been recently trying to get into other fighting games after Ive been playing Sm4sh for a while now as a Ryu main. Been researching alot about which stick to buy and youre channel has been very helpful! Love youre guys' review.
This thing is a beast, and super excited for the review. Also not sure if it is something yall are able to address but I am interested to see how the PCB stacks up to other store bought sticks latency wise. IMO that is the biggest issue for store bought sticks as the UFB is the fastest PCB on the market
Adam and TJ, need to know 2 things on the dragon.. 1 does this work with KI on xbox one with an adapter and 2 which adapter is best the brook usb, brook boards, or the cronusmax usb?? Bc Im looking at either this or te2 ki version want the best if possible and the dragon is whats hot and the best..
+GOLDIE Berry Hey buddy. Unfortunately this stick wasn't ours so we had to send it to its owner after review, so we never got to test the conversion of it. As for converters, Brooks has always been great. But in my opinion I'd go with the TE2. The dragon is HUGE and bad for tournaments
Another great video guys. The stick looks amazing but I can't justify another stick. You guys already talked me into the HRAP4 and the MadCatz TE2+. I picked up the Hori Vewlix LE on sale for $200 too. I don't know if I need a 4th PS4 and 10th PC stick lol
I was ready to buy one of these, but I managed to buy a new TE2+ for about $180. I figured the deal was too good to pass up, so no Qanba Dragon for me lol
I can't justify buying another stock after your review of the sfv te2 plus. You should have a spoof section during your review about how this stick doubles as a toaster and a coffee maker so I convinced my fiancée to buy it.
Seems like high end stick with features that should be in everything! Especially that cord holder, I wish my RAP 4 Kai had that. Glossy plastic... I like it's full black, but glossy finish kinda ruins it for me. Some artwork could hide fingerprints in long run, if you don't wipe it that often.
damn I'll just get both down the road its a risk but that is a beast dragon is what I really want and its cheaper than a te2 ki so I'll kick this around and thanks for quick response I hear that its weight is as much as a mono car stereo amp but its worth the price..
that is a serious piece of kit . when i heard about it and the price i thought how is it worth 100 more than a madcatz . But it just looks expensive looking forward to the review . cant see me trading my te2+ but hell she peerty .
I removed myself from Twitter so I'll talk here. lol nice vid. prob gonna buy this and sell my te2+ or just keep it for some local 2 player throwdowns. no one touches the dragon but me.. cuz winner stays on :)

in terms of responsiveness this or te2?

thanks
such a nice glossy reflective surface..sleek but need lots of wiping after play haha
please help me with this !
Can i use Korean joystick "myoungshin fanta" or "Crown" handle in place of sanwa in Qanba DRAGON?
Garv DarkSlayer yes
is the restrictor plate square or octagonal
Can't wait for the Crystal and Obsidian reviews!
+Ryan Martin Trying to see if we can get them and if we can we will get to it!
Ryan Martin I am really interested in the obsidian myself!!!

Any idea if this fits in the old Defender backpacks?
Have you got another video of this stick with gameplay??
Would it fit on your lap nicely or is it impractical due to its size/weight?
You guys think the Qanba Guardian bag would be able to carry this? It says the bag is only 20 inches in length but the top flap seems to be adustable.
dannynuggz I wish I had one to test with, but I am working on it. Gonna see what I can do
TJ Kombo Ah no worries then! Been recently trying to get into other fighting games after Ive been playing Sm4sh for a while now as a Ryu main. Been researching alot about which stick to buy and youre channel has been very helpful! Love youre guys' review.
dannynuggz I should have one Thursday my friend, I'll let you know
dannynuggz it did fit buddy! Not sure if you saw the review or not. Slides right in.
TJ Kombo Ah thanks for the reply! Im about to watch the review on it right now, keep up the awesome work guys :)
I would replace the sanwa ball-top joystick with a Korean crown lever bat-top joystick and leave the sanwa buttons as they are.
I wish I could find one for sale somewhere!!!!!
finally you have it guys. Plz do a comparison review in performance between this, te2, and hori
+sup3rskrull Oh, we're gonna! Ultimate shootout coming!
Is it worth the price?
when they said, "this is why it's 320 dollars" I was like whelp.

you guys make great quality videos! you just earned a sub keep it up

+David Garcia hahaha!!! Lots of stick brother! As always, thanks for watching!!
I was ready to buy one of these, but I managed to buy a new TE2+ for about $180. I figured the deal was too good to pass up, so no Qanba Dragon for me lol

+The Ball Droppers 😂😂😂 amazing. How do you know it DOESNT have these features?
Seems like high end stick with features that should be in everything! Especially that cord holder, I wish my RAP 4 Kai had that.
Glossy plastic... I like it's full black, but glossy finish kinda ruins it for me. Some artwork could hide fingerprints in long run, if you don't wipe it that often.
+MrRaivokasMagma Not to spoil the incoming review soon but the finger prints are a huge issue!
MrRaivokasMagma it definitely needs a rag nearby! But it cleans up super easy
damn I'll just get both down the road its a risk but that is a beast dragon is what I really want and its cheaper than a te2 ki so I'll kick this around and thanks for quick response I hear that its weight is as much as a mono car stereo amp but its worth the price..
beautiful fight stick !!!
I just ordered the last one on amazon :-D should be here tomorrow.
that table makes me nervous
+Joshua Gonzalez Haha, us too!
Joshua Gonzalez notice we keep a hand on it at all times, haha
Niceee was really interested in this one
that is a serious piece of kit . when i heard about it and the price i thought how is it worth 100 more than a madcatz . But it just looks expensive looking forward to the review . cant see me trading my te2+ but hell she peerty .
+RED death She's gorgeous for sure. Lots of opinions in coming from us!
... bah who needs food, il survive lmao
+Ayer Flite Food is for the weak!
... eightarc liked this video. gj, lol
+Snibelsnarf Haha!
You need a bigger table.
Old as fuck video my dude. Haha
That's okay. I'm looking into buying a fighting stick. I'm already in love with the Dragon! Thanks for making the video!
I just picked one up - highly recommend it.
I removed myself from Twitter so I'll talk here. lol nice vid. prob gonna buy this and sell my te2+ or just keep it for some local 2 player throwdowns. no one touches the dragon but me.. cuz winner stays on :)
+Yukmout B Haha right on. Well we will tell you our opinions on if it's worth the price probably next week!
why would u sell ur te2? would u expect this to outperform the te2?
sup3rskrull I would assume it would be more stuff which I would like. I've definitely hulk smashed my te2+ a couple times with no problems though lol
so far the dragon has better reviews than the obsidian even though the obsidian came out after which is why i just got the Dragon..
Here I am knowing I can never afford this and drool while watching this
WANT
NOICE!
That is one sexy stick
Qanba needs a damn Korean style layout. I mean, at least have some variety.
