Thats why i like youtube, i'm sitting in my home office on the other side of the damn planet and can watch your tutorial. Crazy times, stay healthy mate !
Kush on the Rummel same here, i watch youtube more than anything in the world lol, i learn a lot about history, science and many topics that i am curious about ❤️🙏 thank you for watching
Over the years, I've looked back at this video every time I needed to install or switch out a K-lever from my fightsticks including today lol, thank you so much for such a thorough and clear demonstration!
I agree with this guy, quick question. Does this conversion thing work on hayabusa levers too? I was thinking i was gonna buy a hori alpha and mod it with a korean stick but idk if the conversion cable works on hayabusa levers, do you know?@@JoystickNY
Man bro you’re my favorite when it comes to stick info. Not too long and just the right length. Plus you cater to even the noobs! Thanks for being a great content creator for this topic! Hoping for a good future for you. Be safe and God bless ya!
The cool thing about this video is that you can also extrapolate this information to build your hitbox as well. This video was a great help, thanks man.
I just upgraded my fightstick with an IST korean lever. Thanks to this video the installation was a breeze. I want to try this Crown ones now. Great work JoystickNY.
This video was extremely helpful, thank you! I bought a Taeyoung Fanta standard collar and put it on my hori rap 4. I also got the arcade shock replacement panel for it so I would be able to fit the lever and the thing looks beautiful now. Thanks again for the video, it helped a ton!
Crown 309MJ it's a nice starting point korean lever, there it's also a good alternative, the IST Alpha 49s (it's like the knee lever without knee branding and high price) that uses omron switches and has nice diagonals
Best Lever video on youtube, Dude you need to do more korean levers lol, Your attention to detail and crisp video quality made me actually not skip half the video haha i watched from beginning to end. Got a sub from me... And please do more lever videos i have a Venom stick (Old i know) and i'm wanting to buy a korean lever so this was more to add to the information i've gathered. cheers
thank you so much, i will go more in to korean levers later on after i finish the japanese parts. btw, youtube didn't notify this comment to my email, i usually go thru each video and see what i miss and i found this 🙏❤️
I'm greatful, just what I was looking for. I have a Hori RAP 4 and since it's the first stick I've ever had I wanted to try out how a Korean lever feels. Maybe down the line I'll also try replacing other parts. Cheers.
It's cool that we live in a time when you can buy these pre-made. I was already warming up my soldering iron, but it looks like you're not gonna need it!
Man your videos have gotten me through the anxiety of transitioning from pad to stick. Thanks to your videos not only have I made the transition but I was able to modify my stick myself. I was wondering have you considered doing a video to add an audio jack to a fight stick cabinet? I been thinking of using the audio jack parts from an old PS4 controller. Thoughts??
Interesting thought, i havent gotten to try that yet, i am not sure, if i was to do it, i think it would be the original way off a regular pcb and buying the audio part that fits ❤️🙏
Bought the MJ-309 and tried the 45 first.. the feeling was like having a 4 pound spring, but changed to 35 and now its the perfect "weight" and it feels like a 2.5 pound spring (if it was a thing)
Just changed the buttons and added a bat top to my venom stick. Couldn't decide on semitsu or sanwa but thought I'd prefer semitsu going off your last video. I was right 😁 Much nicer than sanwa imo. Thanks for your videos and information bro it's helped me so much 💪🏻
QuanGissle thank you❤️🙏 only for the intro and outro, no music for the middle, i learn not to mix music in the middle, because my speaking is not very good, i didnt want to add more noise incase people have a hard time listen, and usually i notice when i watch other people’ video for learning, i prefer no music, for relax and entertainment videos, i think music is okay, when learning, i prefer no music ❤️🙏
QuanGissle cant update stick it self, but some games supports legacy controller, for example sf5, under controller setting, there is support for older controller, u can connect there and use the ps3 stick, but alot some features are still limited, i think you still need your ps4 controller to navigate in other menus , i am not sure if every games has that option 🎮
thanks for the video helped me do the wiring when installing a crown lever on my razer panthera evo ; had to cut some plastic out (basically the back wall of the cable compartment which renders it useless )
awesome video. One thing I struggle with is when I need to remove the .187 adapter harness cables from the korean lever, those wires seems to get stuck and it's hard to remove without damaging the wire. Not sure if you have any tips on this
i struggled with this too, but I found a video where they used a small flathead to push the connector away from the switches: th-cam.com/video/SQEgNFfuBHY/w-d-xo.html.
The Korean lever you're using here looks very similar to Seimitsu sticks since it also has a metal plate that pushes the button instead of the actuator. Very interesting. Do Korean levers have an advantage or preference to certain games over Japanese sticks likes Sanwa and Seimitsu? I'm not planning on getting one, I'm just genuinely curious since a lot of people seem to want this kind of stick.
Great question, the way that Koreans sticks are designed, they are better for games with heavy directional inputs, such as tekken, soul calibur, dead or alive type games, korean uses a rubber inside instead of the traditional spring, it somehow works really well for those games, where as spring levers seems to work better for circular input games like quarter circle, half circle fireball shoryuken type games, i will go in to korean parts in the future 🙏❤️
Talal Alosmani i feel a 360 is easier on a Japanese stick, i feel the rubber inside the korean lever wants me to go back to neutral more than going around, its definitely better for tekken tho ❤️🙏
Great video once again my friend. How are you liking the Korean lever so far? I was thinking about going with an octagonal gate lately for my sanwa jlf.
Alejandro Valdez Hernandez i dont really use a stick on a switch, and i personally dont think there is a need for a switch if you play smash, older street fighter versions on there, the only game that i can think of that can be useful would he dragon ball fighter z. If you really want a stick for switch, i would recommend just getting an adaptor for your current stick or get a mayflash f300, its only 50$ and you can also use it for the ps or xbox or pc and more. You can also mod it with good parts in the future and make it in to a solid stick
@@JoystickNY i appreciate your time to answer me. Ive been thinking to buy the hori mini for switch but as u said, theres not so much games that need it and dont have good mentions jeje! Thank u so much bro and congrats for your channel!
Alejandro Valdez Hernandez if you want the hori mini for games like animal crossing, and zelda or adventure games it would okay, but for fighting game, i will recommend something better 😊
@@alejandrovaldezhernandez6157 The mini isn't a good idea for fighting games, tbh, not good enough quality. Also, possibly the best quality and well-constructed arcade stick for the Switch, is the Hori RAP V Hayabusa Switch. It's about 150$ , so not cheap, but it comes with good Hayabusa parts, is full-size with a lot of room and very comfortable. I got it because i only own a Nintendo Switch and a PC, so i wanted to get the best stick for the Switch that i could. If you have an arcade stick of similar quality already, then just buy an adapter like the Mayflash magic NS. If you re like me and Switch is your only console (maybe also PC) then i highly recommend this arcade stick.
Obese-Juan Kenobi it feels very different because of the rubber inside to bring the stick back to neutral, i would say its better for tekken for sure ❤️🙏
Thanks for the video bro! I've been using for some time a Seimitshu LS 32 lever on my Fighting Alpha Hori Tekken 8 Arcade Stick. I'm gonna give a try to this lever & comment results and feedbacks. Cheers! I.
The colour wires don't always correspond to the correct direction, just make you have the up wire to the up switch and so on. Don't use the chart in the video as gospel. It is based on how the wire comes out of the PCB control board. The only wire that is correct in the video is the ground wire.
I'm very new to the fight stick modification scene and I happened to stumble across your channel. Love your simple explanations and guides! Subbed! I purchased a Hori RAP V Silent from Japan a few years ago and I never actually really used it due to the square gate giving me grief when playing Tekken 7. I've always wanted to try swap out the restrictor gate, then soon realised that there is no real modification option for the lever that is used in the RAP V silent (JP). Instead I will have to go down the joystick replacement route. Are there any recommendations for websites to purchase these parts? I'm in Australia and I couldn't really find anything local 😅 Thanks again!
They do make octagon restrictor gates for the hayabusa lever, check out the kowal octagon gate for hayabusa. It should be a easier and cheaper option 🙏❤️
Kevin Ah Seng ohhh the silent; i missed the silent part; you are probably correct, i actually have the silent hayabusa lever too, i am gonna see if i can check it when i get home, i hope i dont forget 🙏❤️
J, I have a question. when I play my own arcade stick, I always shake it very hard so it always shaking around, and this will absolutely effect my performance. I want to make it still and firm when I play but I don't want to make screw on the button to my desk. Can you give me a suggestion for this case please? or tell me how people usually still the arcade stick? Thanks
@@JoystickNY I lost my old stick so I don't have any now. After watch your review video I about to buy the 8bitdo stick. so.. for this 8bitdo, how to still it?
@@JoystickNY I bought the 8bitdo stick on Amazon and it should be arrived today or tomorrow. one more question, I like the game kOF 98 very much. I want to play it online with another, and I only have MacBook and imac, and I am a Android user for mobile phone. so, where can I play that game online on mac system or Android?
Great job with this video, man! Your videos get more and more intersting! Just one question about the crown lever. I have the same stick, the Hori Rap 4, and I would like to mod that with Crown 309mj, that it comes with different grommet size:25, 35, 45. I think you have the stock 25 grommet in your video, right? Which one would you recommend for 3D fighting games like Tekken7 and DoA6 ? Thank you so much for your reply!,,,,
Alexander Pasquinelli personally i like the 35, i feel its not too loose and not too much tension, but i mainly use sanwa jlf most of the time because i play alot of 2d fighting games, give them all a try and see which one you like 🙏❤️😊 thank you
@@JoystickNY Ok, so I will try both 25 and 35 grommet and check wich one is better for me, I use the 2lbs spring wih Sanwa JLF, so maybe 35 is a better choice...thank you for your help! waiting for your next modding videos ✌
@@JoystickNY oh, you use stock 1lbs spring on Sanwa! I prefer the 2 lbs one because it makes the lever less loose and more reactive to go back to neutral position...but yeah, I think it's a very personal choice, it depends on your hands feelings, kind of games and personal gaming feedback! The best way is to try different types and get that one it fits your "fingers" better, I will do that for Crown lever grommet (25 and 35) and let you know! thank you and see you then!,,,,
Hey I was wondering if you’re ever gonna review the Mayflash f500 elite I heard those have sanwa buttons because I want a FightStick for my switch but I’m stuck between Hori rap v or mayflash f500 elite
Elian Escobar i would recommend just getting the mayflash f300 elite, its cheaper and it has sanwa buttons too, you can go for the f500 elite only if you want a bigger size. But mayflash would be better over the rapv, as its multi platform 🙏🕹❤️👍
Sorry friend, i dont have that stick. That is a new stick, i think is only release in japan, the import ones right now are quite expensive the last time i checked. It looks pretty flat, i have a feeling that it wont fit a korean lever
Hello !!! Very good channel !!! I need to change at the opposite, from european stick with microswitches to japanese stick with pins. (Really I want to change from sanwa JLW to Sanwa JFL). It is the same process In reverse order or it could be more difficult ? The conversion cables that I need to buy are the same than yours or different?
so i always wondered if the lever isnt positioned to low in a japanese case. wouldnt the lever be installed directly on top of the case without a space in between in a korean case? like with a seimitsu lever its also ideal to attach it without the mountingplate directly to the case if its possible.
My sanjuk v7 doesnt work with both my arcade sticks, does it have something to do with same conversion cable i used for my old lever and maybe you need special one ? Edit: I guess i need Conversion cable Sanwa JLF-H to JST-XH on top of the adapter cable right ? (didn't need it for old korean lever)
Hey appreciate the videos, I have the Panthera Evo and having trouble finding a Korean style lever that works. Do you know any Korean levers that would fit/work with a Panthera Evo?
I think i check for someone one time about this question, i believe it can fit, but you have to cut some plastics off, i will see if i can make a video one day or double check it, msg me on fb or ig , that way i remember
Question, I noticed you didn't put the plastic flat black donut back on the inside of the case before mounting the lever. Does that make a difference or not?
Tripcore the color wires are the signal wires direction). The black wire (ground) i think its there to regulate and prevent other sources of electricity that interrupts the connection, cuz humans also conduct electricity, so that we dont become part of the conduction.
Hi, just a quick question, but do you think it is okay to get a stick right now even though the ps5 isn’t out? I play on pc and do not plan on buying the ps5. Or do you think waiting for the next gen fightsticks is better for my pc somehow?
The Terrarian i usually tell people to wait, but in your situation, i think u can buy it now, because pc will always work, unlike ps4 controller may not work on the ps5, and i doubt any big games are coming out for ps5 anytime soon, sf6 and tekken 8 is not gonna come out at least 1-2 yrs maybe longer; and 3 big fighting game coming out this year for the ps4, so ps4 is gonna be good for 2 years. So you look now basically; or wait for a sale if u want a better deal. And i dont think any new gen stick will make much difference. Its mostly gonna be repackage casing with the same old parts , making a stick is very easy for those companies, unlike phones where they advertise like this is going to be a new next gen chip, improve this and that, they never talk about the internals much
JoyStickNY Just curious about your thoughts on this, but how likely do you think Guilty Gear Strive will be crossplay? Considering that Sony has finally allowed crossplay to occur between their games.
The Terrarian i think very likely, if not it will be a dead game, same for gran blue fantasy versus, king of fighter 15, that comes up this year, sony pretty much dont have a choice, if these games are not going to be crossplay, i dont think these companies will choose to release their game at the every end of the ps4 cycle, 3 big fighting games, so mostly yes
JoyStickNY Oh yeah, when I meant crossplay I mainly meant ps4/Ps5 to Pc. does your statement still stand? And also, I am planning on buying a Qanba Drone, does it work on Windows 10 well? (Sorry for frequent questions, pretty new to fighting game attire.)
I want to put my crown 309MJ into my Panthera Evo, but someone told me that it wont natively fit and will require me to cut some plastic inside the stick, if possible, could you help me?
GhostyyyHD yes, i believe that is correct, you will have to cut some plastic wall inside and some plastic on the bottom, I believe i tried it for a viewer on a seimitsu stick and it didnt fit, and the korean lever is a bit bigger too, so possible to cut some stuff inside. But it should be a pretty easy task 👍🕹
I've been looking for this video for a month, and TH-cam's algorithm found it after I gave up. How much clearance do you need in the case for the Korean stick?
It needs probably the most room, if u have sanwa, like give it more space in every direction for a korean lever. I will have more videos on korea levers down the road 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY thank you, sir. Thank you very much. I do have two Sanwa sticks, but I wanted something that gave me a better dedicated 4 way restrictor for Pacman, while also allowing me to play Street Fighter. I was looking at the Mag-Stiks, but I don't have the clearance. The 187 to 5 pin adapter is what I needed, as it opens up more options, even if I go with one 4 way only stick, and one 8 way Korean. Every 4 way only stick that I could find is .187". By the way, any advice on a 4 way only stick?

If you have an arcade stick of similar quality already, then just buy an adapter like the Mayflash magic NS. If you re like me and Switch is your only console (maybe also PC) then i highly recommend this arcade stick.
I like that little screen where did you get that at or what is the brand or model?
Chris Gonzales its call the andycine A6, from amazon, but i dont recommend it for gaming, there is a delay, its meant for a DSLR external monitor 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY Okay thank you are you willing to play street fighter v? Let me know my name is musashi47 for playstion.
Chris Gonzales i ll let you know when i get on, i havent been on sfv recently, been play gran blue fantasy 🙏❤️
Thanks for this coming from the Philippines :)
Thank you so much 🙏❤️
I thought it might feel like a seimitsu lever cause of the similar switch layout but when you were testing it it looked kinda loose. Is it?
Obese-Juan Kenobi it feels very different because of the rubber inside to bring the stick back to neutral, i would say its better for tekken for sure ❤️🙏
Thanks for the video bro!
I've been using for some time a Seimitshu LS 32 lever on my Fighting Alpha Hori Tekken 8 Arcade Stick. I'm gonna give a try to this lever & comment results and feedbacks.
Cheers!
I.
When you drop the actuator in, does the big end go at the bottom, or the small end?
How much is the conversion cable for the 5 pin port ? And any links you could provide ?
The colour wires don't always correspond to the correct direction, just make you have the up wire to the up switch and so on. Don't use the chart in the video as gospel. It is based on how the wire comes out of the PCB control board. The only wire that is correct in the video is the ground wire.
Appreciate the info
Hello! Which korean lever is better: 309MJ, Benylis or Crazy Dongpal? idk their differences. Thanks.
I would start with the 309 mj; i only have that one and the knee lever; i would recommend do a search and read some articles on the other ones ❤️🙏
Great video. Can you recommend some easy twist on bat tops to replace the ball top on the Hori RAP N? Thanks
The sanwa one is good 👍
Thanks for the video. What game was at the very end of the video that you were playing. Pretty cool looking game.
Oh that game is call : gran blue fantasy versus, its a pretty new fighting game 🙏❤️ thank you for watching
I'm very new to the fight stick modification scene and I happened to stumble across your channel. Love your simple explanations and guides! Subbed!
I purchased a Hori RAP V Silent from Japan a few years ago and I never actually really used it due to the square gate giving me grief when playing Tekken 7. I've always wanted to try swap out the restrictor gate, then soon realised that there is no real modification option for the lever that is used in the RAP V silent (JP). Instead I will have to go down the joystick replacement route. Are there any recommendations for websites to purchase these parts? I'm in Australia and I couldn't really find anything local 😅
Thanks again!
They do make octagon restrictor gates for the hayabusa lever, check out the kowal octagon gate for hayabusa. It should be a easier and cheaper option 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY thanks for your reply! I searched it up, but I don't think the kowal gate is compatible with the Hayabusa Silent stick 😭
Kevin Ah Seng ohhh the silent; i missed the silent part; you are probably correct, i actually have the silent hayabusa lever too, i am gonna see if i can check it when i get home, i hope i dont forget 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY thanks a bunch! 😃
J, I have a question. when I play my own arcade stick, I always shake it very hard so it always shaking around, and this will absolutely effect my performance. I want to make it still and firm when I play but I don't want to make screw on the button to my desk. Can you give me a suggestion for this case please? or tell me how people usually still the arcade stick? Thanks
What stick do you have?
@@JoystickNY I lost my old stick so I don't have any now. After watch your review video I about to buy the 8bitdo stick. so.. for this 8bitdo, how to still it?
The stick is pretty heavy, it doesnt move on the desk for me
@@JoystickNY I bought the 8bitdo stick on Amazon and it should be arrived today or tomorrow. one more question, I like the game kOF 98 very much. I want to play it online with another, and I only have MacBook and imac, and I am a Android user for mobile phone. so, where can I play that game online on mac system or Android?
I know the game is on fightcade, check if mac supports it. I have it for windows:
If anything you might need to bootcamp a windows install on your mac
Great job with this video, man! Your videos get more and more intersting! Just one question about the crown lever.
I have the same stick, the Hori Rap 4, and I would like to mod that with Crown 309mj, that it comes with different grommet size:25, 35, 45. I think you have the stock 25 grommet in your video, right? Which one would you recommend for 3D fighting games like Tekken7 and DoA6 ? Thank you so much for your reply!,,,,
Alexander Pasquinelli personally i like the 35, i feel its not too loose and not too much tension, but i mainly use sanwa jlf most of the time because i play alot of 2d fighting games, give them all a try and see which one you like 🙏❤️😊 thank you
@@JoystickNY Ok, so I will try both 25 and 35 grommet and check wich one is better for me, I use the 2lbs spring wih Sanwa JLF, so maybe 35 is a better choice...thank you for your help! waiting for your next modding videos ✌
Alexander Pasquinelli thank you, on the sanwa JLF, i use the default 1 lb spring
@@JoystickNY oh, you use stock 1lbs spring on Sanwa! I prefer the 2 lbs one because it makes the lever less loose and more reactive to go back to neutral position...but yeah, I think it's a very personal choice, it depends on your hands feelings, kind of games and personal gaming feedback! The best way is to try different types and get that one it fits your "fingers" better, I will do that for Crown lever grommet (25 and 35) and let you know! thank you and see you then!,,,,
Alexander Pasquinelli okay 👍
American traditional sticks have the same microswitch system. I think the Korean sticks took some inspiration from Happ.
For sure, i grew up using happ. Classic 🙏❤️
Fun fact "if you play the video backwards and you will have a tutorial of installing Japanese stick back to where it was". 😄
Hey I was wondering if you’re ever gonna review the Mayflash f500 elite I heard those have sanwa buttons because I want a FightStick for my switch but I’m stuck between Hori rap v or mayflash f500 elite
Elian Escobar i would recommend just getting the mayflash f300 elite, its cheaper and it has sanwa buttons too, you can go for the f500 elite only if you want a bigger size. But mayflash would be better over the rapv, as its multi platform 🙏🕹❤️👍
JoyStickNY Thanks I’ve been a pad player for a year now and a FightStick has been on my mind for weeks now I thought I’ll give it a shot.
Elian Escobar go for it, explore more options, maybe you might be better in sticks 👍🕹🙏
nice job, thank you very much, this help me a lot!.
Thank you for watching 🙏❤️
This tutorial is valid also for Golden Lever parts?
Yup, it has the same connection 👍🕹
Any chance you can make how to install a korean lever on the hori ps4 129a it seems like its not like the other japanese stick out there
Sorry friend, i dont have that stick. That is a new stick, i think is only release in japan, the import ones right now are quite expensive the last time i checked. It looks pretty flat, i have a feeling that it wont fit a korean lever
Great video, good job man!
Thank you 🙏❤️
Hello !!! Very good channel !!!
I need to change at the opposite, from european stick with microswitches to japanese stick with pins. (Really I want to change from sanwa JLW to Sanwa JFL).
It is the same process In reverse order or it could be more difficult ? The conversion cables that I need to buy are the same than yours or different?
What arcade do you use ? Feel free to add me on instagram and fb and send me some pic of the inside of the stick
@@JoystickNY This is my arcade cabinet
th-cam.com/video/p8-n1vraRbY/w-d-xo.html
I will send you some images to facebook. Many thanks !!
Thats a nice cabinet , how much is it?
@@JoystickNY there are different models it costs between 1,5k€ and 3k€ regards !!!
Thats is a very expensive piece for the home
DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE WIRES BEFORE CHANGING THE GROMMET ?
Dam; off the top of my head, i don think so, if its not in the way
@@JoystickNY can you review another Korean lever ? Like ist alpha n . Or 49s .i hear they good for 2 d games with the lower tension grommet .
Nice vid, thank you very much❤️
Thank you
so i always wondered if the lever isnt positioned to low in a japanese case. wouldnt the lever be installed directly on top of the case without a space in between in a korean case? like with a seimitsu lever its also ideal to attach it without the mountingplate directly to the case if its possible.
My sanjuk v7 doesnt work with both my arcade sticks, does it have something to do with same conversion cable i used for my old lever and maybe you need special one ?
Edit: I guess i need Conversion cable Sanwa JLF-H to JST-XH on top of the adapter cable right ? (didn't need it for old korean lever)
Hey appreciate the videos, I have the Panthera Evo and having trouble finding a Korean style lever that works. Do you know any Korean levers that would fit/work with a Panthera Evo?
I think i check for someone one time about this question, i believe it can fit, but you have to cut some plastics off, i will see if i can make a video one day or double check it, msg me on fb or ig , that way i remember
very nice video.sir . is the stick in the video Taeyoung Fanta Stick -HEMI (low)?
Its was just the basic 309 mj 😊
@@JoystickNY thx man . u r very kind!
and install Taeyoung fanta is the same right?
Question, I noticed you didn't put the plastic flat black donut back on the inside of the case before mounting the lever. Does that make a difference or not?
I personally dont do it; i find it abit too extra as i open the case and swap parts often
what's best entry level fighting stick that can fit any korean lever?
Nice video! Do you think Korean Levers will fit on my 8bitdo stick?
It wont, its too slim, i think i tried it one time and it didnt fit
@@JoystickNY Oh that sucks, I guess I will just buy sanwa JLF and use tension springs and bat top :)
Do they ground so people don't get zapped by electro static charge ?
Tripcore the color wires are the signal wires direction). The black wire (ground) i think its there to regulate and prevent other sources of electricity that interrupts the connection, cuz humans also conduct electricity, so that we dont become part of the conduction.
JoyStickNY Thank you
Hi, just a quick question, but do you think it is okay to get a stick right now even though the ps5 isn’t out? I play on pc and do not plan on buying the ps5. Or do you think waiting for the next gen fightsticks is better for my pc somehow?
The Terrarian i usually tell people to wait, but in your situation, i think u can buy it now, because pc will always work, unlike ps4 controller may not work on the ps5, and i doubt any big games are coming out for ps5 anytime soon, sf6 and tekken 8 is not gonna come out at least 1-2 yrs maybe longer; and 3 big fighting game coming out this year for the ps4, so ps4 is gonna be good for 2 years. So you look now basically; or wait for a sale if u want a better deal. And i dont think any new gen stick will make much difference. Its mostly gonna be repackage casing with the same old parts , making a stick is very easy for those companies, unlike phones where they advertise like this is going to be a new next gen chip, improve this and that, they never talk about the internals much
JoyStickNY Okay thanks a lot! I really appreciate that you take the time to reply to your comments :D
JoyStickNY Just curious about your thoughts on this, but how likely do you think Guilty Gear Strive will be crossplay? Considering that Sony has finally allowed crossplay to occur between their games.
The Terrarian i think very likely, if not it will be a dead game, same for gran blue fantasy versus, king of fighter 15, that comes up this year, sony pretty much dont have a choice, if these games are not going to be crossplay, i dont think these companies will choose to release their game at the every end of the ps4 cycle, 3 big fighting games, so mostly yes
JoyStickNY Oh yeah, when I meant crossplay I mainly meant ps4/Ps5 to Pc. does your statement still stand? And also, I am planning on buying a Qanba Drone, does it work on Windows 10 well? (Sorry for frequent questions, pretty new to fighting game attire.)
Thinkin about getting that golden lever
Thats pretty expensive , but i heard good things
I want to put my crown 309MJ into my Panthera Evo, but someone told me that it wont natively fit and will require me to cut some plastic inside the stick, if possible, could you help me?
GhostyyyHD yes, i believe that is correct, you will have to cut some plastic wall inside and some plastic on the bottom,
I believe i tried it for a viewer on a seimitsu stick and it didnt fit, and the korean lever is a bit bigger too, so possible to cut some stuff inside. But it should be a pretty easy task 👍🕹
JoyStickNY ok thanks, appreciate it alot, keep up the vids!
I've been looking for this video for a month, and TH-cam's algorithm found it after I gave up. How much clearance do you need in the case for the Korean stick?
It needs probably the most room, if u have sanwa, like give it more space in every direction for a korean lever. I will have more videos on korea levers down the road 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY thank you, sir. Thank you very much. I do have two Sanwa sticks, but I wanted something that gave me a better dedicated 4 way restrictor for Pacman, while also allowing me to play Street Fighter. I was looking at the Mag-Stiks, but I don't have the clearance. The 187 to 5 pin adapter is what I needed, as it opens up more options, even if I go with one 4 way only stick, and one 8 way Korean. Every 4 way only stick that I could find is .187". By the way, any advice on a 4 way only stick?
The Autumn Wind not that i know of, sorry 🙏❤️
@@JoystickNY thank you for caring.
