I use square gate cuz its was real mean use. U bitches keep using that octo ho mom gate.
I got a square gate because I read that’s what they used in Japan, and I’d hate to go to Japan one day and not be able to pull my moves off. That would be so embarrassing!
EDIT - Now whenever I use a 8 way gate I can’t find the corners. But that doesn’t happen too much, seems square gates are more common.
He obviously hasn’t tired using the ORIGINAL Wico p360’s first before making his judgment, and as rare as those things are he probably never will. Otherwise he’d be singing a WHOLE different tone.
Yeah I’ve played on one of those after its been broken in.
They are only rare now cause they stopped making them.

Ok i played for a week in my new stick with a seimitsu LS32 square gate and i must say, its is good for everything, minus for SPDs… i do the movement as fast and accurate as i used to do in the Sanwa JLF octagonal but rarely a SPD comes out. I used a mame version to check my inputs, and the issue is that some directions are not registered, sometimes i go from down directly do up left or even up, but im doing the movement like i always did. I tried to stick to the standard, but i got annoyed by it, so… i gave up. I put the round gate in LS32 and wow, this thing is so awesome! SPDs never were that easy. I can do chicken wings as well, almost every time, and i never trained this move. DPs come out all the time as well, i only get a bit confused when blocking down, because i move the stick a bit but its not touching the diagonal yet, and since the gate is round theres no way to know if its activating both microswitches… but this is only a matter of getting used to it. I totally recommend trying a round gate as well if youre willing to change. JLF has it too.
Hmmmm, imagine that, someone tried a round gate and actually like it.
Perhaps this thread should be renamed
-trolls suck-
seimitsu LS-32 is a really good stick, it’s bigger, tougher, stiffer and the square gate you can barely feel it. This comes from an old time sanwa user, I should have switched to seimitsu a long time ago.
You guys are forgetting about engage distances between square and octo
The ideal would be something like a automatic swappable restrictor stick, or something like that lol, like, you press a button and the restrictor changes automatically, no harrasment opening the case, it could be eletronic ou mechanic, i just think that something like that would be so welcome for tournaments. Being forced to play on square gate when you play Gief and T.Hawk is really annoying, walk in Typhoons are almost impossible. I believe the only way to do them consistently is with that spinning technique that neoray uses. Or maybe i just suck haha
For the record. Both John Choi and Axel Valle were using WICO p360s when John won his titles and Axel Defeated Daigo for the first time…not happ.

I though happ made the wicos? Is it a separate company?
-trolls suck-
yes, very separate companies…well, they were until Happ bought them out in the Mid to Late 90s when they made all their money due to constant success in the Arcade Scene (which is now dead) due to fear and to eliminate competition early in the game altogether. (lol, Gamestop and UFC much?) JUST like they bought out Suzo, and Industrial Lorenzo. They took all of the godlike creations from each of the three companies they bought out and made shitty clones of them.
For example.
The Original Competition Euro Joysticks from iL = Godlike, Happ’s version = shit (well, i should say not AS good rather than shit)
Wico’s P360s = Godlike, Happ’s Version = shit (The pivot cracks, The actuator grinds, They don’t last as long, etc.) there are mods to fix and or prevent all that but not everyone knows about them.
Suzo’s Compact Stick and various other sticks from them = godlike, Happ’s versions (Super Joystick, etc)…well you get the idea by now.
Bottom line, Fuck Happ. I hope they go bankrupt. I ordered from their official website once about 5 or 6 years ago and and I’m never ordering from them ever again. (Over charged me twice and didn’t give me back the full amount for which they did, constant cat and mouse game.) And just yesterday they sent me this cheese cake ass email saying they missed me and were going to give me a free shipping coupon on my next order with them…I LOL’d for at least 5 minutes straight. I mean, after 5 - 6 years they NOW wanna say that shit? You know they going bankrupt.
