Quality review - extremely professional and informative. Can't believe that you don't have more subscribers - added. Just ordered from Amazon, but out of stock until early July. Looking forward to it getting here.
You were one of the main reasons that made me fall in love with this stick! I'll probably be ordering a Nobi orange top with a purple dustwasher, maybe i'll see if i decide to change the buttons for sanwa purple/orange once it comes home and i get to test it out, cheers!
It's because of you that I was able to buy the base version Mod my sticks for the first time and I'm changing the art now Love how you are in depth, aesthetics and personality Keep it up guys
Looks like another high quality product from Hori. Love these sticks. I dont specialise in fighting games but started experimenting with the Hori RAP 3 I got cheap at a flea market and the feel was amazing. More recently I started using various modded sticks instead of a regular game pad and its gotten to the point where I play 2D shooters better with a stick now. When beating the brutal Gun.Smoke arcade , the super responsive sanwa buttons and quick,precise hayabusa stick felt so much better than a game pad, for that game. These Japanese sticks really are a great tool for a large variety of games. Out of my four modded sticks, the Hori RAP4 is my main stick for a variety of 2D games across all platforms. I use brooke adapters and a Magic S adapter to get these sticks working on other consoles. Play alot of old games through my Emulation focused PC. The RAP4 has a Seimitsu LS62 stick in it with Sanwa buttons and that extra tension on the stick feels perfect for most older, precise games like platformers and especially shooters where micro movements are very important. You can really move into position one click at a time. I have the Hayabusa stick in another modded base and its great for games that require real fast accurate movement. I dont use sticks often for fighters, but when I do the hayabusa feels great for pulling off fast specials.
Wow thank you so much for sharing that! I’m glad you are enjoying yourself with a tool that offers a variety of applications! However you decide to play- keep pressin those buttons!
Long comment: Thanks for this video. This is my first fight stick ever, as well as first fighting game that im willing to commit to, and i already put second gen sanwa silent buttons on this bad boy(four blue, four red, one yellow start button). Also thanks to you, i opted out on not getting the third gen silent sanwa joystick (cause lack of feel + feedback apparently) and ordered the same parts you did today + a 2lb spring(but instead of the bullet or bat, i got the seimetsu 39 orange bubble ball top, and pink for the phreakmod instead of purple😤) Its been six days with it, and i can finally combo into super arts but i still dont understand how pros are able to link combos into special into combo into special into supers... just crazy😂. Maybe niggas need to spend 8 hours a day in the lab no joke🥺... Also i currently live in nj, and idk maybe if i actually get pretty decent one day as this is my first legit fighting game, how does one get into locals, and tourneys without social media???

I play Tekken 8 but I am getting this version on the stick because it’s fire and who doesn’t like street fighter? I’m trashy at it but the design is flame on!
@@ButtonClubFGC I ended up getting the Arcadeshock black aluminum panel, gray-violet sanwa colors and a plain black link. Cool video and thanks for the demo of the products!
It’s an official street fighter v hat- the beanie is dope! I found a similar hat to this on posh mark but it has black and white pinstripes. I tried looking I’m sorry!
Hm...Looks cool but Nope. I'm very happy with my Hori Fighting Commander Octa for PC. Maybe too used to it. First and last time I used an arcade stick was in the Playstation with The Namco Stick and on my Neo-Geo.
it comes standard with a square gate if that's what you mean. Square gate is generally standard with any stick on the market. They are all capable of going 8 directions though regardless of gate shape.
None of these stick should need mods as soon as you get them. The buttons to me feel cheap, spongy, and not sturdy enough. So if I'm thinking of replacing them already, then I paid $250 for what's essentially just a shell.
Hey James! These are mods we chose to add, they weren’t necessarily needed to function. Every player has preferences and the stick works wonderfully stock for some :) if you are dissatisfied with it I’m sure you could sell it to someone and get a different one.
Meh, I already have the basic PS5 one. Call me when they make a Chun-Li/Cammy insert cuz I don't want to see Luke's stupid face anymore than I already have to in the game.
Unfortunately you need to mod this right away with a new joystick and buttons. The stock buttons are too sensitive and the stock joystick is notchy. 1/4 turns etc aren't nice to do. I bought a Seimitsu joystick and Sanwa buttons. They arrive next week, can't wait.
That’s great! If you get the purple one it comes with a download link for the different art panels to swap out. But the classic one is very nice as well!
This studio is DOPE

I have the standard one as well it was $30 cheaper and still customizable
The street fighter version comes with 18 art which matches the purple color.

Can this stick be used to do select-linking/option-linking?

I purchase a few hori sticks in the past. They were all straight garbage.. never again, plus always expensive.. no thanks…
everyone has different criteria for what they think is good- if its not for you, then no worries! what do you prefer to play on?
Unfortunately you need to mod this right away with a new joystick and buttons. The stock buttons are too sensitive and the stock joystick is notchy. 1/4 turns etc aren't nice to do. I bought a Seimitsu joystick and Sanwa buttons. They arrive next week, can't wait.
I decided to get the regular version of this stick. Purple is my favorite color, but I'm not too fond of the characters.
That’s great! If you get the purple one it comes with a download link for the different art panels to swap out. But the classic one is very nice as well!
