this might be the funniest shit ive heard all year
Anyone here has experience with 4 or 5lbs Sanwa springs on the stick levers?
I am too much of a troglodyte and I am not sure the 2lbs spring will be stiff and heavy enough for me.
I replaced the stock 1lbs one with a custom 1.5lbs and it is still way too light.
I donāt recommend it, mostly because of a control matter. Sure, Japanese levers feels too light at start, but thereās a reason behind. A stiffer spring isnāt bad, but I think a 2lb. one is the limit. Applying too force on your joystick itās gonna affect your control. Imagine to control your lever into a liquid, whatās better, water or mud? Because of that Iām using a Seimitsu LS-32 spring since is slightly stiffer than a regular Sanwa (1.1 vs 0.9), but everyone is different. Springs donāt cost that much, buy the 4lb. if you wanna try it, the best way to find your best setup is trying yourself everything. I could open a shop with all Iāve bought during these years.
I have ordered a 4lbs one to try. It will be here next week.
The guys that built my stick are sending me a 2lbs one to try as well.
If neither give me the feel I want, I will have to import 6 and 9 lbs one and hope that will work.
I am just not gracious and dexterous enough to deal with a lever this light.
A 4lb. spring is already super hard, the stick will return to neutral very fast, but youāre going to find some issues at doing moves in the long run. Have you ever tried a Seimitsu? Itās the perfect compromise between the precision of a Sanwa and the stiffness of an American style lever. I would recommend you the LS-40-01, is the joystick used for SNK fighting games like KOF in the arcades.

Well, you got to understand that I move the stick lever with the delicacy and grace of a charging rhino, so I need a really hard and stiff spring to handle the abuse.
I feel like I jinx myself sometimes when Iām playing rank.
There are these moments I have no matter who Iām fighting where I have these galaxy brain eureka moments, and shit is fucking grand. Then I tell myself ādonāt feel yourself nigga donāt feel yourself.ā.
A smile creeps up on my face cuz Iām feelinā myself and then I lose it all.
It all goes to shit because I wasnāt calm like lord Daigo. I cared about the points and got a big head.
The I lose 20 matches in a row.
Itās okay though, Iāll hit Super Wood when Iām 45 hahahahaha

Everyone does when they first start out. You need to practice yourself out of that. Every time I take on a new game or new way of playing one, I have to practice out my bad executional habits. Instead of looking for a stick to make up for your execution, itās probably better to increase your execution so you donāt need some fancy peripheral to play. Itās annoying and hard to do, but thatās fighting games and anything that requires some form of dexterous skillā¦ you need to practice out your bad habits. When I was playing basketball competitively I would shoot 100 shots per day and focus only on the correct technique rather than making shots. In game my shot percentage went way up because I was used to using the correct form even in weird situations.
Justin Wong famously said he practices combos that he KNOW HE CAN DO ALREADY, just to keep up a super high consistencyā¦ good players, the BEST players, practice things like cr.mk xx fireball. The fundamentals are what get you further. Wellā¦ in actual streetfighter games. Sf5 isā¦ LOL. But fundamentals are still going to be important here.
We need to run a lounge this weekend.

Thatās almost as funny as the Machine Gun Kelly one
There are people like you, who believe in gracious, precise, fine, dexterous execution.
And people like me that know if brute force isnāt working you just arenāt applying enough of it.
I am old, my hand dexterity is deteriorating day by day, and even when I was young and nubile I wasnāt gracious with the arcade stick lever.
I know what works for me. The stick needs to be stiff to return to neutral faster because I will be applying severe force on it, like I always did because the bootleg ones from my young days were stiff or broken as hell.
I am too old to change and there are extra tools that will make my arcade stick work just like I prefer it. Why try to be gracious at near 40s when I wasnāt even when I was 18?
Going against your own nature is counter productive.

I second @NCK_Feroce 's Seimitsu suggestion/question if you ever tried a Seimitsu stick before. Their sticks return to neutral ideally fast (notoriously useful to most players in Tekken) and, from personal experience, they general seem stiffer to control as you favored in your other posts.
Beware though on certain stick modifications. Not all Seimitsu joysticks are ānaturallyā compatible with some sticks, such as certain MadCatz TE models. For example, in the TES+, you have to dremel (or be cheap like I did, use a metal nail file) the bottom pin portions that would naturally obstruct the PCB of the stick (note: if the pin is left alone, not only will it have trouble closing the stick, but the pin will also cause dents onto the PCB from the weight of your arms pressing down the panel). You also need to apply cover protection so that the inputs wonāt act up in case it does get into contact with the PCB, such as duct tape.

I will see if the heavier springs resolve my issue with my current lever. If it doesnāt, I will look at importing a Seimitsu one to install on my stick.

Sagat vs Blanka
Talk about it. I knew something was iffy with Sagat vs Kolin awhile ago but I won those sets. But Blankaā¦I donāt think I want to run into a Ultra Instinct Blanka. Not saying he beats Sagat but that feeling went into me, and that feeling lets me know I need not to fuck around until I understand the MU
