My Favorite Fightstick - Espada Fightstick & More

[@jonyfraze]

Alex, you’re so damn talented man. I’m just a humble case maker and you made this into a masterpiece. Appreciate the love and support.

[@victormontiel757]

These videos deserve way more views and the channel deserves more subscribers

[@Paik4Life]

He has over 100% views to subs ratio......that's pretty weird in and of itself, but I agree, this man should have tens of thousands more of each., at least! Production quality is on point

[@thousandstar]

STOP SAYING NO ONE CARES OR WATCH YOUR VIDEOS . YOUR VIDEOS ARE FIRE. YOUR VIDEOS ARE A MOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVIIIIEEEE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK IN YOUR VIDEOS .

[@olieebur]

I still don't know why you're still in the quad digit subs. GET THIS MAN TO THE MOON!

[@mukabout4243]

Your video production is a work of art. Love everything from soundtrack to colour schemes and transitions, definitely quality over quantity.. The cable management reminds me of my former pc case builds. I never thought of implementing it into an arcade stick, amazing attention to detail👌

[@alexnostalgix]

Wow, thank you!

[@ericgl182]

ordered a sanjuks v6 today im so happy. wouldve loved to see a video of yours about it

[@PaperTigerLive]

Ridiculous video, I look up to you man. You have passion and put things to life. Great content, got into modding thanks to you.

[@BaconheartStuff]

Damn man, that build looks incredible! G Gundam is my favourite Gundam, the art is dope as hell and the Espada is such a mean enclosure. Kinda wish they offered it with an all button layout, but maybe I should just get good at using a stick instead.

[@alexnostalgix]

He is literally setting up a all button option ina few days lol. Thanks man

[@jonyfraze]

Stay tuned brother.....

[@BaconheartStuff]

@@jonyfraze Love the case mate, just got my all button all the way down in Australia the other day and it is mint! So solid, so comfy, so cool.

Much appreciated!

Great video. Glad to see you like the gamerfinger

[@DanNguyen-ey5tw]

As a BnB owner myself, it's one of my favorite cases. The acrylic is amazing I quality. I didn't think it could get better the. Art hong's TEK Case but jony achieved that and blew it up. It was really easy to put together and there is a lot soace to put led strips as well. I need to get my hands on an a Espada case myself. Love work he does.

[@fanfan867]

Really appreciate the sound check that you did with different kinds of buttons. Should be in every arcade stick review. That being said, I'd really like to see a video comparing the sound with same buttons but in different cases.

Fight stick looks sick mate I will definitely be getting a sanjuk lever but just bought a golden lever and golden fanta conversion and a cool bear and another monitor so I'm broke

[@sanathoithangjam9756]

I was thinking of buying a lever which one would be better and why in your opinion the crown new Helpme or the Knee lever

[@viniciuspenoni8368]

Awesome video! Are those M4 standoffs and screws?

[@mukabout4243]

It’s...its....soo f@kin beautiful 😭😭😭

[@Pichoniix]

10:18 What do you mean when you say that "the Corners are a little big bigger". That meas the actuator is smaller and these more space or the actuator is bigger and there's less space.

[@alexnostalgix]

I was comparing it to the base V5 where the switch spacing on the V6 was smaller.

[@Pichoniix]

@@alexnostalgix 😅👍 I am interested in playing TEKKEN SO I've been watching videos and looking for a Korean lever, I play KOF and my current favorite set up is the JLF With Otto V5,Stainless Steel Pivot, 2lb Spring, Stock Actuator, and Square Gate. But looking at the Circle-Square or Squarcle I think those are better than the Square Gate becase you can do the Quarter Circle Motion smoother but unfortunately there is no such think for Japanese levers.

Fantastic video Alex! Your fightstick looks phenomenal! Question about the gamerfinger button Timestamp: Why did you lube the spring/buttons ? I dont understand the part: " I didnt use the whole switch" Greetings from Germany! Didnt understand these parts pls clarify for German guy :p Your content is always top

[@alexnostalgix]

I meant by using the whole "Outemu" switch since I I used different parts. I also mentioned the exact spring and switch combo I used "mx housing, outemu spring, and stem". Peope lube switchea for a smoother feel and better sound.

[@hesrizen1519]

@@alexnostalgix thank you for clarifying ! Cheers!

Get crown/sanduska 202 cherry series they also have mx switchs

[@islambekusupov6328]

you using 35 rubber on sanjuk v6? That feels stiffer than fujin

[@alexnostalgix]

I'm using a 32a.

[@CaptainVulcan]

It feels like a Crazy Dongpal... ON STEROIDS! I was shocked to see that it houses a 32a grommet, but the tightness and precision of the V6 is all thanks to it's aluminum body, actuator, and microswitches. I do wonder if it feels tighter than an Alpha 47C? Giggity.

[@johnlund8157]

Great video as always Alex. Question what are those merka concave buttons ? You have any link to where one can find those ?

[@kawaiihaki2480]

[@dababy7400]

what prebuilt bored that comes with a Korean lever would you suggest?

[@kylesteen]

It’s been like 6 months and I still find myself coming back to this video. It’s too good. I just gotta ask though, how did you get the quick release installed? While it’s not an espada, I have a stick about the same size and I’m thinking about doing something like this. I can kinda it figure out. But I thought I’d be thorough and ask where I can.

Hi Alex! I wanted to ask you, where did you get that wire harness from?? I’ve been trying forever searching for it. And do they still make the espada stick? Just curious, I might end up getting a gen 2 bnb stick

[@humz437]

Does anyone know where to get the different Sanjuks collar's (full collar, squircle collar, etc.)?

[@cosmicrainforest3014]

Alex, can you make a video on how you vinyl your parts? You vinyl so much and make it looks so fun, I want to order some VViViD but I'm not sure how to apply it to a fightstick or its parts. Like do you use a heat gun, only on some materials, do you wrap all the way around or only one sheet per side, how do you remove it if you change your mind, etc. ... Almost every video, without even saying it you're like, "Of course I'm going to vinyl it."

[@alexnostalgix]

i actually use Vivid or Oracle every time lol. I may do a like like a tips video or something but thats more on a "if i feel like it" kinda video lol. Make sure the surface is clean, use a creditcard or something to apply it and be patient, especially if it has weird angles hence why I mainly do it on simply panels. :) I'm no pro so my advice wouldn't be all that great tbh ^-^/

[@cosmicrainforest3014]

Oh alright, for sure! And thanks man

Good video. I think that sanjuk v6 is best lever for me. I have many size of sanjuk’s original head.(ex 14.4, 14.6, 15, 15.2) So, i can customize my style. And original sus bobin is very good too. :)
