The Link: The Quick-Disconnect JLF Shaft!

Been watching this item with bright eyes, I look forward to your official release !
-and side note, anything jdm puts a sign of approval on I’ll buy, I’m a fan.

Yo…if you have a couple of these at EVO I’d love to pick one or two up.

It has been decided that this’ll be part of the design of the Gloom - as soon as they’re available I’ll take 12.

I got word from my machinist yesterday that he’s able to get me only a handful, and then we’re concentrating on getting drawings done for fab house quote while I’m away at EVO. It’s been a busy 2 weeks for both him and I but I think we have the design finalized and ready though. I’m SUPER excited how these look/function now… really couldn’t be happier with it.

Stay tuned though, today will be a bit rough in terms of getting ready for EVO as well as picking up those couple (the guy lives like an hour and a half away). I AM going to do that twitter deal before I leave though. In any case, I’ll be around so stop me and say Hi!

Sounds awesome, I can’t wait to see the finished product!

This mod makes me dude-wet. I need to get one of these like as soon as they are available whatever it costs.

OK guys, anyone who’s in the loop for twitter things be sure to follow me. I’m trying out this whole twitter promo thing for the first time so go easy on me :stuck_out_tongue:

@PhreakMods

Haha sounds good, I’ll definitely be there for sure. If you have any for evo though…DIBS

Machinist showed up at my door this morning @ 7am to put together the handful of units that he was able to make for me. Good way to start the day, lol

I really want to cop one at Evo!

So…I can get some at EVO, yes? :smiley: :-p

I too will be looking to purchase one at EVO, i’ll be constantly checking this thread for updates in the next coming days =) thanks!

Thanks Phreak for letting me pick one up. The modding gods were on my side. And it was especially convenient since this was me going to EVO without it, and coming home with it. So here are my initial impressions so far.

The build feels really solid and gives something very stylish to the stick. It sits at the right height and isn’t too high or too low when playing. You won’t really notice the difference.

The way that it connects on, depending on how you hold your stick, MIGHT be a problem for you, ie if you tend to grip it like a wine glass and pull up when you make moves, your stick is coming off.

I found its a lot easier to pack my stick (HRAP T5 if anyone is wondering) and bags, both the EVO stick stack, as well as the Brokentier World Warrior bag, and it sits nicely, because there isn’t that added bump from the stick, meaning if you’re packing it in a car, bag or whatever, it makes it a lot easier if you want to throw a book in with it, because its sitting flat now.

I am going to put some more testing into it when I get home, IE playing with it for a long period of time and report back. Right now, sitting in the airport, bored out of my mind, haha, its given me time to just sit here and look REALLY weird :smiley:

I heard you were at EVO.
You were at Focus Fire talking to Phreakazoid187.

I didn’t get to meet you.

I forgot where on the EVO floor I met and shook hand with you.


Okay, I remember.
You wore the Gunnar and met at SFJ Table.

Every time I see this thread bumped I get excited.

:frowning:

Sharing some Link love in the Capcom-Unity Tech Talk thread.

Awww damn , you were there!? Man, im always so crazy during EVO time running around. Always next time jdm XD!!!

Speaking of these links, there were none in sight at EVO :(~~~~ at least i didn’t see em :expressionless:

edit:
–if i met Phreak…i probably didnt know it was him! hmm confused now >.>

Glad you’re enjoying it, don’t let me forget to get you a new base piece when these are in production. Although, the up side is that you DO have the only fully bored out version in the world at the moment (even mine isn’t :P). Please test the crap out of it, let me know if you find anything. Jebitron gave me a TON of play feedback about the weight and feel to it (still need to get back to you if you are reading thing, thank you so much for the FB) so I’m pretty confident in things as they are but more eyes on things is always good.

On Friday (in a sheer bout of luck) I got to sit down at the Focus Fire table and talk to people for a while. I was by the spot where people were playing Tony Hawk and the Doritos game, lol. You may have swung by and just not realized it was me. I tried to put out stickers and stuff to show who was there, I was also wearing my TT shirt :slight_smile:

Thank you sir!

Actually, while I was sitting down at the table. One of the editors for ManaTank.com sat with me for a while and did an entire write up on his site about it! The top picture is the Link in JDM’s arthong case.

Hmm, now to do a randomization thingy on the twitter RT’s. Gotta figure out how to use twitter correctly, hah.

Props for repping that TTT shirt.

Phreak - when is it looking like we’ll be able to get our hands on these? I’m still hoping I can get one before I head down to London for SvB, but I suspect they’re not going to be ready for then!

Whoops. I was supposed to buy a Link and a Phreak Mods t-shirt 'cause Tech Talk, and forgot 'cause Evo.
