Korean arcade parts discussion

i caught Lowhigh using a fusion on his stream the other day :slight_smile: https://clips.twitch.tv/CourteousUglyPicklesDAESuppy

Do I need to drill a bigger hole in the Qanba Q2 Glow for the SDL-301-DX to fit?

@LunaPost From what Iā€™ve read in the past in terms of fitting the sdl-301 into a qanba the dragon is the only one deep enough to fit it. As for drilling a 35mm hole the infiltration has a chopped collar so no you wouldnā€™t need to drill it.

@zero_requiem so what if I played with no bottom plate on the whole stick, would that solve the problem?

@LunaPost Theoretically that would work, but I doubt thatā€™d be very comfortable or practical at all.

@LunaPost that also depends on how you play. Like do you play with fightstick on your lap or on a table? Like @abev said itā€™s got going to be comfortable.

Honestly this is my first version of the Kaze, but I find the movement to be pretty good. @RequiemZero would be able to give you more of an accurate option since his movement is much better than mine.

I already play with no bottom and itā€™s fine, i play with it on my lap

I gotta say after almost a week on the Etokki Omni Korean stick, this is the best stick Iā€™ve owned or played on.

Iā€™ve played on MAS, mini mas, sf anniversary, hori 1-4, TE, TES, shoebox Sanwa, vewlix, and probably more, Namco yellow ps1, dreamcast green goblin agetec.

HRAP 4 KAI was good too.

@zero_requiem your opinion on kaze v3 does it worth it ? hows ewgfs hows backdash and movement ? kaze v3 vs fujin v2 go :smiley:

@Marios the kaze is definitely worth it if you favor short throw. I donā€™t have any issues on both in terms of ewgf, cd, kbd. I never miss diagonals with any of these levers. Only thing I didnā€™t like on the fujin is instant run but Iā€™m used to it meow so it doesnā€™t bother me. I favor wider throw on my joysticks so Iā€™ll pick the fujin any day but depending on play style they are equal in my books. Very nice to have the kaze since it doesnā€™t need am5s at all to be good and I prefer then with all a3s. Fujin on the other had is absolutely terrible with all a3/a2s.

@LunaPost thatā€™s all good then. I play with the bottom cover on my omni when Iā€™m testing parts.

@evilj agreed the omni is by far my favorite out of the 8 fightsticks I have lol. I have an allfighsticks coming in this week and I have a feeling it will knock the omni etokki to number 2. The omni is feels very solid but the all fightstick takes that feeling to the next level. Only thing I dislike about the omni is thereā€™s not much room in the front to rest your palms but Iā€™m used to it meow.

@ykd u tagged me with requiemzero lol dafaq

Anyone know if my Crown 301 will fit the Mad Catz TES+?

The only thing is every time I open up, take out put back mount Omni, the alignment or something feels off. I just ruined it at the moment

Turns out I had the plastic cylinder piece , the piece you have on the bottom of the shaft before the eclip, needed to be flipped. Such a small detail and the moves and feel completely change.

Damn ya the actuator on the taeyoung is kinda like a cone so if toots backwards then youā€™re activating the micro switches much later. I use a 15mm golden fanta actuator on mine so its about 1.5mm smaller than stock.

@zero_requiem you have replaced your fujin with am5s ?

am5s come stock on the fujin. I was saying that I tried the fujin with a2s and a3s but they were terrible so I put am5s back. I still use A2 for down tho

oh , ill try that since i really loved kaze idea and cant get it off my head . i cant remember what was the microswitches on my fujin v2 , all i remember that they were from Thailand and it had crooked metal connectors. @zero_requiem

It seems based on what I read that A2 microswitches are still useful for down directions. Iā€™m still waiting for the old A3s to return, till then how useful would it be to use A2 for down with the new A3s on a Crown 309mj? Iā€™m thinking of using that after I install the 35a shore grommet for faster execution since the 45a one was a little too stiff for me. Thanks!

@Marios since you have the v2 kaze you can always just try using all a3s and it will pretty much be the same as the v3. Only difference though is the grommet on the v3 no longer has 3 tiny holes drilled on cardinal directions. Pretty sure the v3 has a softer grommet to compensate for that. Those switches are am5s although Iā€™m not sure why they bent the .187 connectors.

@AndymanZERO Iā€™ve tried all am5s/a3s with a2 for down on the crown 309 and I find it doesnā€™t work as well as the fujin, myoungshin and taeyoung. With the 309 I prefer to have all the same switches. Then again everyone is different so it doesnā€™t hurt to try.
