Most Innovative! Yaay Thank you for the recognition! I'm hoping to improve on my Split Stick design and try to make other designs this year.
Hey! Great work again! I loved that thing.
Overall I think TheTrain is the MVP of 2023!
Definitely! The man was putting in work!
Not only is he the MVP, but he continues to help drive the cost down for everyone by making the license free for vendors.
I like to support this work, but I can't seem to find the team's donation page.
@@SMD_N_LMB I couldn't find it either so i had to ask. Turns out he personally takes donations for the project via www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=2JMTZVCGLDYC2 Donations are used to pay for shipping for things he sends out to people, cover prototyping fees on new projects and pay for things needed by the devs.
I just got into the community this year. This channel and everyone on Reddit and forums have been instrumental in making me feel excited snd welcome. Thanks everyone!
Welcome aboard! Yeah, it's a super positive community compared to a lot of others of similar sizes. Glad you've got the bug and I'm excited to see your finished build(s)!
All of the fight sticks shown look so cool
Sooo many good ones! (I say that every year, but I mean that every year, lol)
It's been an amazing year for fightsticks! After watching your video I went through the last few "fightstick of the year" videos from Mr. Sujano and it's amazing how much further the community has taken everything in such a short time. It's so inspirational seeing all this amazing functional art. Hoping 2024 is even better!
Totally agree! Huge year for fightsticks! Thanks watching and all the support!
I just ordered a Jony Fraze custom board... Actually can't believe it. Wish I had a more incentive concept for him but I love sf6, I love Ryu and jp, and I know with his style it's gonna be absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for all your videos, always love seeing the creativity in our scene. Unbelievable.
Awesome! Jony always does super clean work so I'm sure you'll love it! Thanks for the support and I can't wait to see your completed stick!
The train has done such amazing work 2023 !! looking forward to what him and team come up with this year
I'm kinda shocked the "fortress of solitude" controller wasn't most innovative, absolutely next level design I don't think anyone else is trying
Yeah, it definitely could have went that way, but in the end I felt it was really only built with a single person's ideal aesthetics/ergonomics in mind. The Split Stick could be used for nearly anyone, so that's sort of the reasoning behind those picks. Both were phenomenal builds, however!
4:12 wow the Garfield i really loved
I thought that was super cool too. A really fun Flatbox vibe.
Time to kick Odie off the setup
Cool collection. I'm stick only so my favorites are the buddha and sf2 cab replica, but the beauty of the flower petal hitbox can't be denied.
Good choices!
What a great year for the community.
Thank you again for featuring my Garfield flatbox. :)
I loved that thing, lol!
There were definitely some sick Fightsticks in 2023. Amazing to see such creative and inspiring work showcased.
Couldn't agree more! And as always, thanks for the consistent support. V the champ.
That is crazy just how much leverless has blown up over this past year.
It really has! It feels like they are starting to outnumber traditional sticks on the subreddit which is crazy.
because cheating is normalized in gaming now.@@HushMySweet1
and i've just recently gotten into fight stick from pad😂
3:00 slapping LEDs on a build like that makes me wince a bit, but it's all personal preference in the end
Yeah, everything is personal preference and that's a lot of the fun of these things. You can almost tell a bit about the individual based on some of the aesthetic and design choices. Anyway, thanks for watching!
I'm working on a new leverless now. Hope to mske the list next year
Can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for your support and I hope you have a great year!
Well deserved, Sidnificus! That was my pick too.
Super clean. Hey, thanks for watching! And I actually think I still need your address for winning that PCB giveaway from a couple weeks back (if you still want it).
The berserk stick is insane
got my mavercade keebfighter in the summer and love it to death. fightstick community is so dope
I love Mavercade and I agree with you about the community! 99% awesome 100% of the time.
Sweet video and sick sticks. TheTrain eleven as always.
Always!
Amazing collection of some impressive sticks!
Tons of creativity out there! Inspiring stuff! Thanks for watching, dude!
Cant believe the void hitbox my gf made me made it, craziness. Thanks man
Just wanna to publicly thank HushMySweet for the hustle of sending the pcb as a gift all the way to Serbia!
I feel honoured to be the only one featured with an 8Bitdo stick in the entire video
That stick had some heart. Nice job.
Thanks hush!!!!!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
RIP DOOM that stick is dop AF🔥
That Berserk stick is fucking nuts. Wish you would've put reddit links to all the sticks you showed off.
I added in most of them for you just now. Here's the link to that Berserk one: www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/17bdu9l/griffith_thursday/
I'm new to the hobby I'm looking to build a Hitstick with the Shionkenstar-W layout so that I can try out all button configs as well as lever configs for Tekken 8. I will say that r/fightsticks really needs to update their megathread as lots of the builders aren't in business anymore or their commissions have been closed for a long time, this made it hard to figure out where to go for everything. I do have 2 questions though... JLF sticks are basically sold out everywhere as the new JLX stick seems to be taking its place... any real difference? Also do you know I could get my hands on some solid black samducksa 202 plungers only lol? I'm doing a build where I want the rings to be transparent but not the buttons.
1) I curate the megathread, but it's hard to officially remove someone from the list since some go in spurts, and their queues open back up. But yeah, maybe I'm too hesitant when it comes to removing, lol.
2) JLX is maybe marginally better than a JLF, but I feel like they are pretty much the same. Like, if you like the feel of a JLF, you'll like the JLX. Very comparable imo.
3) I don't think I know a place where you can just order the 202 plungers. However, what you could do is just order two sets: one clear, one black, and then switch them to how you'd like. Then, for that extra set, just unload them on the r/fightsticks discord to recoup most of your money (or you could try the r/fightsticksforsale subreddit if you don't mess with discord).
shoutout the train
He's a rockstar.
could u make a tutorial on how to change the artwork for the qanba obsidian 2?
I don't have that particular stick and I've never seen one in person. I imagine the principles are the same as normal? Check out my "Fightstick Facelift" vid to get the general idea, but feel free to hit me up with any questions if there is something a bit different with this particular model. Good luck.
@@HushMySweet1 ❤️
I need a supplier for enclosures/cases in Europe. America has AFS, I don't want to pay the 80USD shipping + import to get one sent here. there must be somewhere in EU that can source me cases.
CoolBear (or Blunderbuss Designs) was a UK metal enclosure equivalent to AFS, but they shut down like one week ago. There is Enth Creations, but they don't mess with metal AFAIK. Satsui and Wallarcade are from Spain, but they also don't use metal to my knowledge. TR Fight Stick is from Turkey I believe and they do have a metal one. Another option if you need a metal enclosure in EU is Sidnificus (the winning fightstick guy) since he's from the Netherlands and he sells a metal style. An example is that gold SF6 Jamie one near the end of the video. If that style appeals to you, he can produce them in a variety of colors. You'll need to chat with him on discord since I don't believe he has an official website. Hope that helped and good luck in the hunt.
Hello, are you interested in testing an arcade stick?
Potentially! I have a lot of backlog of controllers I'm trying to get through at the moment and I'm not the speediest. Let me know what you were thinking. My email is in the youtube bio about section.
I wanted to build one with the brook adapter but then I read about how Sony is being a bitch so now I want to just buy one.
What pricy PS5 fightsticks are there that are not made in China? Thanks
PS: if it has a PC/PS5 TOGGLE would be great too
The Victrix Pro FS is a pricier stick which has PS5 compatibility. There are a lot of cool new PCBs / firmware which can net PS5 access for a lot cheaper if you want to consider building your own. The Hori Fighting Stick Alpha is cheaper than the Victrix, but is another PS5 option. Same with Qanba Obsidian 2 and such.
@@HushMySweet1 Thank you for the response, will be checking those out. Fun question, say I bought an used PS4 fightstick and removed everything and put it into my own DIY project, would it work and would it be legal in a tournament setting like EVO?
@@HappyYummmy Yeah, you could do something like that. You might lose out on certain aux button functions depending on the stick you're cannibalizing and what you're putting inside it. Most things are legal these days, but Capcom Pro Tour has some rules where you can't have two buttons perform the same function, which shouldn't be a big deal for you unless you're trying to add and map additional buttons to a stick. Good luck.
Noice
Noice indeed! Thanks for watching, dude!
where is ENTH creations?
I actually meant to include this stick from Nelmsii in that little parade at the end but it must have gotten lost in the shuffle. www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/14lqusq/new_akira_sticker/
