You're right, when using square gate you don't touch the edges. You stay within that's the best way too use it. Other wise you may miss inputs.

I hate square gates really I grew up with circular gates and it feels way better

Can you let us see the top before you screw it please thanks

we´ve all been there our family asleep and we mashing really hard trying to get out of that fkin throw loop lol

this is the kind of autism i can get down with

it depends on the character you play, for example mine is Marshall Law and all my moves depend on corners, unlike Jin or others. so keep this also in mind. so i use Square Gate

I throw like 25 fireballs in a round with a square gate, lol.

can this be used on a sanwa silent buttons?

Cupa da ball!

Awesome transparent blue balltop!

Amazing video my friend. I grew up in the arcade in the early 90s, but I haven’t been on one in a while. Lol 😂 I have a 4 star Diamond Ken masters. So I really appreciate your video. And it’s amazing that you’re married man. 💯

Thank you. 🙏

If I absolutely need to nail an input, especially a diagonal, give me octagonal or give me death!

😃 yay! it worked! Thank you so much for the tip, I got it to turn just like u described, i replaced the stupid square gate with an Octagon Gate, octagon should be the default for joysticks. I cut my finger removing the gate from the base of the joystick, those 4 tangs are stupid tight, they should make them from softer plastic.

Imma KOF player and i prefer the squared one (imma k9999 player) to me is easier to get some diagonal commands.

What type is used for shmups (by players or what was in the arcade cabinets)?

What about DP?

Great video. Been struggling to pull of moves with my 8bitduo arcade stick and thought maybe it was the joystick issue but I now realize it has a square gate and being that I like to roll off the gate, I see what my issue is now. Thank you for the video!

Haven’t used Square in a while, but for me I prefer Circle over Octagonal. While it is easier to feel out the sides with Octagonal, Circle just has so much more freedom of movement making it easier on my hands in the long run.

Thank you so much for helping me understand why I haven't been able to perform basic specials like fire balls and uppercuts with Ken 😆👍

thanks alot

Thx man! My new buttons and silencers came in!

I always rest my fingers on the buttons and try not to raise them too high above the buttons so as not to have to hit them hard, otherwise the sound will be too loud. When I hit the same button all the time, I don't take my finger off it and it's quieter than if I used these foams. So it depends of your playing style ;)

May the eightfold path illuminate your way. (Team Octocult)

Why doesn’t know one explain how to use the right hand with the buttons that’s what I’m struggling with terribly

I love the octagonal gate and what you're saying is true. I like to ride the gate for my input.

For me the most comfortable grip is to hold the ball from the sides with my index and thumb (thumb is higher up on the ball because of the way I rest the rest of my hand on the deck) and then I support the underside of the ball with my middle finger curled underneath but not around the shaft. I find this the best way to hold it for me and not slip off because of the shaft spinning which is something that was happening to me a lot at first. I also find that having my hand resting on the surface of the housing helps me keep myself oriented and not start using the stick diagonally which was happening to me too lol

The square gate works better when you set it in 8 way mode. I prefer circle.

to me trying to hit up down left right on a square gate is like a balancing act. The stick just wants to go to the corners and I find it really annoying. I suppose it's just dependant on the way you hold the joystick and the way you like to input things but for me the square gate is very awkward. I would like to try a square rotated at 90 degrees though. So that it's the normal directions that have the corners of the square and not the diagonal directions. I haven't been able to find one like that though.

Holy crap, the last video i watched made it seem like you just had to push down and it never said anything about turning. thank you for the help!

So far, using the three finger method, but with the index finger on top center of the ball and the palm facing slightly more downward seems to give me more precise and finer control. Anyone else ever give it a go?

Im an old school arcade player and when I purchased an arcade stick for my pc it came with a square gate, once I realised I could change it to a circular gate everything changed. My game became so much better. Its what you've grown up with and whats familiar to you.

Can you install more than 1 per button?

Interesting, didn't know the way to play Square Gate is to not go against the edges. Imma try that.

This helps a lot, i'm still trying to get used to my arcade stick. Thanks for the video

3:30 yeah that no feeling forward, down etc is so shit, the diagonals are kinda ok, not great but doable i've been using octogonal gate on a sanwa since like 2010 (and circle since the 90's) and for me the square gate is the worse by far, japanese people "don't roll off the gate" because they had to learn to do this because their square gate is shit i've bought a really cool custom made arcade controller with a seimitsu stick with a square gate in 2018 that i've been trying to get used to but omg it's unbearable, i just ordered the seimitsu octogonal gate the other day, i'm tired of getting irritated by my brand new seimitsu and going back to my old, loose sanwa (that i do service cleaning and adding grease but it''s seen so much use already), i did try for the past 5 years (around the time you released this video 😅) i did also build myself a hitbox last year that i've been loving but it's not suitable for every game (i don't play fighters exclusively) so i do plan on finally putting my seimitsu to use and retire the sanwa

Having issues consistently hitting supers on square gate. SRK keeps coming out. Any tips?

i never even thought of doing inputs without hitting the edge of the gate before watching this video 🤯

The correct hand placement on the square gate is key.

When I bought my first fightstick I thought the same. I chose a Bat top and switched to an octagonal gate. After a couple of months I found it way too restrictive. At the time I purchased a pandora box which came with square gates and regular ball tops. And I found that I liked that setup a lot better, for some reason stuff felt easier to perform and just felt better in general. I don't like the feeling of rolling the stick against the gate. It kinda feels like I'm going to mess it up a lot quicker. Ever since then I started using only square gates combined with a ball top. And I feel like my inputs are a lot more precise. I don't know, I just got a better feel for everything. But like you said, to each their own.

Your math is wrong. The % number needs to represent absolute numbers, not relational. For instance, the middle area should always have the same value for all 3 gate types (e.g. 11 for all 3 gates).

Bought a bunch of these. They suck. I had to DOUBLE them up to make them decently silent and then at that point the buttons are super mushy. The Sanwa Gen 2 silent button with the rubber plunger is MUCH better than this simple (and sucky) fix.

Soda fell in one of my buttons and I have to replace the washer and wipe the inside of the button well. I wish I could reuse the washer.

Just bought these thinking they work on 202 crowns lol

Still struggling to execute Iori's Deadly Flower moves like QCB three times on the sticks

I miss Paragon:(

Thanks for this. Was curious if I did it correctly. Now I know i did

Thanks 🙏

thanks you dood!

thanks
