I tried the Fujin v2 I got from Makestick. First thing’s first, the handle isn’t removable. It came with AM5s and I think 14.75mm actuator and 9mm shaft. It always bothered me that they don’t come with dust washers but I had a spare one lying around I threw on. The mounting plate also looked like it had been through a war so I swapped that with another one as well.
I really liked the stock configuration, it’s probably the most accurate lever I’ve ever used. My only complaint is that the tension is a bit too high for my liking. I’d heard of this before but I actually found it a bit strange, because when I took out the grommet to compare it to my Taeyoung’s, they felt more or less the same, but the Taeyoung is definitely much, much lighter. Any insight on this? And suggestions on improving this? I may pick up the soft Fanta rubber from somewhere.

Perfect KBD on the Fujin, feels so good[/details]
Also speaking of the Taeyoung, I got my hands on one recently which I also tried for a little while. It felt really loose and flimsy at the beginning but swapping the switches for A3s made a huge improvement and was actually quite solid. I imagine I would have a lot of fun with this lever if I had a GFM, but as it stands I think I still prefer my GCM 309-Helpme. Now I’m a bit upset because the Taeyoung made me want a smaller throw on my 309 but I sold the smaller shaft to someone else lol

I guess Airbaguy glues them for normal versions unlike my case where they are removable. I guess I will have to glue mine.

There are two ways of doing backdash, one, as you mentioned and the second, as he did. The one that you mentioned applies to all character while the latter way of doing it does not work with backsway characters.
The second method uses b, n, qcb, n, b. One thing i found interesting is that he starts at d/b as opposed to qcb which starts at d. Well, i guess it works too i guess.

That’s wrong. Sway is qcb. I don’t have any down inputs so I won’t ever sway.

If it works that’s fine. I always assumed the reverse wavedash method is just a normal backdash cancel variant, not a true KBD.

I would guess around the Shore A 50-60 range. They are tough but not too tough.

Reverse wavedash is a variant but that’s not what I was doing. It’s not as good as a proper KBD because you’re vulnerable for 1 additional frame, in addition to not working with sway characters.
It’s interesting you think the Fujin stock tension is so high. I’ll swap the grommet with my Taeyoung grommet then and see if I can feel a difference once it’s inside the stick.

Personally, it feels harder than a new Myoungshin. I used the lighter Golden Fanta grommets in the Fujin lever and felt pretty good for my hands. It sort of makes it a bit bouncy but I like it that way. Take note that I do prefer lighter tension. I have seen Lowhigh swap it out for lighter ones too.
I will be getting my Golden Fanta Green set soon so I will test the shaft and the actuator on the Fujin. Since the the actuator doesn’t have grooves, I don’t need to worry about damaging the plate. I will compare that with a normal Myoungshin with the same Green set, GF switch supports and Panasonic switches.

I also tried putting the Taeyoung rubber in and I honestly can’t really tell if it’s lighter or not. It just feels kind of mushy.
Edit: definitely lighter. Still mushy though.

I’d heard of this before but I actually found it a bit strange, because when I took out the grommet to compare it to my Taeyoung’s, they felt more or less the same, but the Taeyoung is definitely much, much lighter. Any insight on this? And suggestions on improving this? I may pick up the soft Fanta rubber from somewhere.
Also speaking of the Taeyoung, I got my hands on one recently which I also tried for a little while. It felt really loose and flimsy at the beginning but swapping the switches for A3s made a huge improvement and was actually quite solid. I imagine I would have a lot of fun with this lever if I had a GFM, but as it stands I think I still prefer my GCM 309-Helpme. Now I’m a bit upset because the Taeyoung made me want a smaller throw on my 309 but I sold the smaller shaft to someone else lol
I guess Airbaguy glues them for normal versions unlike my case where they are removable. I guess I will have to glue mine.
Also isn’t proper KBD b, db, b, n, repeat as opposed to b, n, db, b, n, repeat?
There are two ways of doing backdash, one as you mentioned and the other as he did. The one that you mentioned applies to all character while the latter way of doing it does not work with backsway characters.
The second method uses b, n, qcb, n, b. One thing i found interesting is that he starts at d/b as opposed to qcb which starts at d. Well, i guess it works too i guess.
That’s wrong. Sway is qcb. I don’t have any down inputs so I won’t ever sway.
That makes sense, thats why i said i was curious as to why your method of backdash canceling consist d/b, b as opposed to most tutorial video that teaches qcb.
@blankaex it’s not the grommet that’s making it the tension feel like that. It’s actually the oversized bushing and if I had to guess the grommet is medium fanta myoungshin. Even if you swap to a soft grommet and used the same one in the myoungshin and taeyoung it will still feel stiffer. Currently using a soft red grommet(from makestick) and myoungshin bushing in mine with 7mm shaft and 14.5mm actuator. The problem with using a myoungshin grommet on the fujin is there is a lot of play between bushing and shaft which results in a lot of wobble but I’m used to it so doesn’t bother me. Currently testing between myoungshin bushing and fujin to see which is more accurate and better accustomed for mishimas.
EDIT: The problem with using myounshin bushing is what i meant to say not grommet.
I recently have been playing with a makestick from an amazon seller (specifically this one right here https://www.amazon.com/MAKESTICK-Joystick-Controller-Fighting-Airback/dp/B01627TXT8)
makestick.com/us/?menuType=product&mode=view&act=list&page=&searchField=&searchKey=&lcate=002&mcate=&scate=&fcate=&sort=&prodCode=2016052500006&searchIcon6=&searchIcon7=&searchIcon8=&searchIcon9=&searchColor=&searchSize=&pr_no=&searchStartPrice=&searchEndPrice=
I’ve noticed that playing with it, d/b on player 1 side is way harder to do then d/f, in fact KBD is way easier on P2 side, is that just something to get used to?
Oh interesting, I didn’t think that was the case because the bushing looked the same (as the Taeyoung’s) at a glance. Let me know which combinations work for you, I’d like to know what makes the Fujin work. It’s such a cool lever.
Got a few updates on my fujin v2. I used a different set of AM5 and I swear I could focus on the b/dB input much better than with the stock am5s I got. I didn’t give the switches another chance before changing them, but now somehow I didn’t have too much an issue with KBD on stock fujin v2
With the fujin shaft, using the Fanta stock bushing works much better imo than the fujin bushing, made it feel less tension. Original was too much for me.
I bored out the fujin actuator to fit the 8mm golden Fanta. Man this is a kbd machine and already I could wavedash much easier from the get go. I would accoasionally miss some diagonal inputs when wavesashing but it was ussually after prolonged use. Can’t wait to try the 7mm shaft.
When using the golden Fanta shafts, the Fanta bushings (the ring inside the rubber) are a much tighter fit on them since the golden Fanta shafts bigger and fujin shafts are smaller. So the tension increased to how i was used to the taeyoung (the black rubber soft gromett). But since the switch placement needs much precise movements, my hands got sore quick. Instead i used the soft Makestick silicone gromett (red) with the Fanta bushing still, and this was perfect. When feeling by hand I would say it is equivalent to waz green silicone gromett.
The soft rubber gromett (black) is somewhere between was green and blue tension if I had to compare, but I think this is better used on the original fanta or a taeyoung, but not with golden Fanta fujin

I tried the Fujin v2 I got from Makestick. First thing’s first, the handle isn’t removable. It came with AM5s and I think 14.75mm actuator and 9mm shaft. It always bothered me that they don’t come with dust washers but I had a spare one lying around I threw on. The mounting plate also looked like it had been through a war so I swapped that with another one as well.

Perfect KBD on the Fujin, feels so good[/details]

That mounting plate and the body are taken from a Myoungshin Fanta, and modified. Usually most Myoungshin plates look like that in my experience.the AM5s are a different model on the one you have, compared to the older ones as well, they likely operate pretty much the same but @Agieze has posted a bunch about the variations.
Airbag lever hasn’t been available for some time. I assume that the Amazon seller is also from IST but haven’t changed the product name and instead used a Myoungshin lever.
If you are new to Korean levers, there are things you definitely need to get used to. As for anomalies, that seems unusual. If possible, try to discover what the apparent problem is and we will try to help you.

Oh I didn’t realize that, does the company that make them gone out of business or something?
Yeah I’m not sure with the thing is, it’s like a small hitch like the lever is slightly catching on something. It’s not getting in the way or anything, should I open the lever to see if anything is wrong?

Btw, i encountered this problem the other day where only one
Looks like Yo-o did an interesting video with the Crazy Dongpal lever. He used an e-clip to expand the height of the shaft and the top. I am gonna experiment with Golden Fanta parts tomorrrow if this trick also works on that.
Also @wazwuz , I should be getting the parts tomorrow because the delivery attempt came after I left for work.

Has this been a recent issue? Maybe the port is messing up?

The reason was that they don’t can’t get the switches for it. Personally I would open it to see if it’s debris or something.

Hey guys ,my gfm mod just arrived and i just realized, two of my casing etokki screw is spoilt. Meaning, i can’t unscrew it as the hole is messed up. What do i do? I have never opened my case before. And the condition was terrible before i even attempted to unscrew it. The rest were fine.
