Golden Lever & Cool Bear Lever Review

[@zilents6896]

uuuugh that intro i'm beyond satisfied

[@alexnostalgix]

i try to tell ya it was finsta be dank af lol

[@somesang]

My guy the production just keeps getting better and better. Keep it up.

[@alexnostalgix]

I try good sir, thanks!

[@alexnostalgix]

Would you choose the Knee Lever intro or this as your favorite?

[@ofDepreciationatTaxRate]

This intro was really really good imo, I called my gf over to check it out actually. Syncing with the music and dropping the levers in was very Edgar Wright.

[@brandonhiggins796]

This intro was tight, I thought it was very stylish.

[@bloodmarth]

It was cool. I like this intro

[@mukabout4243]

I would say neither, just so you have to make us one more..😉 This ones insane!

[@joshs8563]

Both intros are great. Knee lever was hype while this one was fun and entertaining. The great thing about both of them is that you focused your intros on the main thing of the content of the video, which is something you apply very well. Knee lever vid was my fav but both are great

[@thousandstar]

This editing was sex. THIS IS THE GREATEST EDIT VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN. I CAMED WHEN I SAW THE G GUNDAM MUSIC MY GAWD THIS WAS INCREDIBLE . BEST VIDEO EVER. UGH I NEED TO WATCH THIS 10 TIMES. THIS WAS A MOVIE .

[@alexnostalgix]

MUCHO APPRECIATES GOOD SIR

[@Ganobrator]

most underrated fg hardware enthusiast channel by a wide margin

[@mukabout4243]

Fun fact.. Alex has modded and reinstalled his levers so many times that @ 0:40 this is how quick his ‘drop-ins’ have evolved in realtime! 👍

[@wazwuz205]

Your intro is impressive, it took me just 3 seconds to know this video will have many mind blowing effects. Very creative, great job brother 👍

[@alexnostalgix]

Thanks good sir

[@CavalierJamal]

Holy f**king smokes Alex, I been a lurker on the videos for a long time but man all the videos are just straight up great production and for a "simple" lever review I am immensely entertained. On the lever side of things, I actually have gotten the cool bear lever prior to the release of the video as I am in non-EU country in Europe... Getting literally any stick parts is a nightmare... So even paying the premium in the end wouldn't amount to the crazy sum of import duties I would have to pay for anything outside of EU due to shipping costs... All in all... I am satisfied with the cool bear... Out of the box, considering the price though... It is a bit difficult to recommend it further but it can be felt. Thank you again for all these awesome videos, intro an all are ridiculous. P.S Your late night scripts are also awesome, they always get me.

[@alexnostalgix]

Yeah I heard about the limiting options you have especially when it comes to shipping prices from the USA, RIP. I hope to atleast keep my content consistent since upload schedule is exactly Ideal I put in the effort to be better when I can :)

[@TheOriginalMrGreen]

The view/quality ratio is criminal. Your content its editing and the humor are top notch. Liked and subbed. Keep doing what you do.

[@jonyfraze]

Amazing video Alex. Keep em coming!

[@WillxE_TheGreat]

Just checking out goldenlever review, but totally blown away by the quality editing.

[@Peraliq]

Your editing just keeps getting better and better 🙏. I have no comment on these two levers, I own a sanjuk v5 and never bothered buying anything after I got my hands on it lol

[@alexnostalgix]

Same still on it too

[@ONEDEADLYVENOM]

@@alexnostalgix Where can I get a Sanjuks V5? I’ve always heard of the V5 but so far unable to get one for myself. I have the V6 which is my all time fave along with these listed in priority of usage and favorite 1. Sanjuks V6 lever hands down best lever 2. IST Alpha 49 N lever almost a clone to the Sanjuks V6 3. Fujin V3 lever 4. 309MJ and Help me lever 5. Knee lever underwhelmed I’m a mishima player mostly Great channel liked and subscribed thanks for sharing great content

[@BenTan89]

Very nice job on the review! Sweet AF editing too.

[@nissanbling]

God damn that intro was godlike

[@vash254]

i see that camera mod being put to good use. Good video alex.

[@alexnostalgix]

I figured I finally installed it.....might aswell go ham

[@kumite1984]

First time being here checking up on Golden Lever review. Super surprised hearing Hungarian (my home country) music starting at 0:29 :O

[@alexnostalgix]

@@kumite1984 been one of my favorite songs for as long time :)

[@kumite1984]

​@@alexnostalgix small world :) Since you and I here: I have the possibility to buy a used but like new black golden lever for $130 I've never used a Korean lever and don't play 3D fighters at all and not even planning to, but want to try it out how it feels. Some casual SF2, SF3, MVC2 later this year and some arcade beat 'em ups on the Switch. I've used Sanwas only in the past. I was considering the golden for that price (130 includes shipping and tax), but for first timers I've read a $70 Crown CWL-309-New Helpme-ST30 would be a lot better entry point. Any thoughts on this?

[@mr.arcadefox8782]

Hey brother just want to say your videos are incredible and an inspiration for content creators. Keep up the AMAZING work! 💪🏻🦊

[@Pk_blu]

bro min 7 is so sick ty keep it up ur so good at this

[@cloud3x3]

Your production is so good. Dope work as always. Too bad I bought the Golden Lever last week 😭😭😭

[@munmunyee]

Honestly, best video yet. Hope this becomes a trend and you find yourself on a hard stride of both great quality videos and great improvement. also, how does the bearing actuator feel on the golden lever? (compared to the cool bear and the knee aluminum, I guess)

[@alexnostalgix]

The bearing feels smooth i guess but tbh it's not very noticeable to me

[@Flawlesslaughter]

You can install a square collar into the golden lever to give that extra bit of guidance :)

[@ZeNSOMNiac]

These vids get better every time

[@milbentu2017]

Man.. Your editing skills are godlike 😍

[@danekunderhill4812]

Got my sub! Your edits are dope!

[@fredo19]

I wasn't ready for that intro.

[@Nuggetnollieflip]

Golden taeyoung Fanta is the best iteration in my opinion. Vanilla golden feels alright if you play on the looser tension side but the golden fanta fixes the wrong in the og golden lever

[@HystericalHuntress]

Between the Fantas, the Fujin III, the Sanjuks and the Knee lever I don't see any real reason to go after any of these super premium levers when between those 4 levers and the modding options available to them you can find a setup that does exactly what you want without paying over $100 for a lever alone. I mean, if you're REALLY into the idea of constantly tinkering with your shit I guess. But the way I see it, most of us K-Lever users have a pretty solid understanding of what we want / like in a lever. I'm still rocking the Fanta III stock grommet / core with old school Panasonic switches I tracked down. I use the lever from everything from Tekken to SF to GG. I can't play on anything else. The Sanjuks is cool too, but I just can't find anything that personally beats out the Fujin in feel for me.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Will the gold and cool bear joystick levers work on all arcade games including fighting games and beat'em ups?

[@DylanRutter]

We gotta get you that V6!

[@splatjoel]

6:39 Bought myself a cb recently, been feeling this a lot. I play goldlewis and bts feel so smooth its amazing

[@Rocket_VT]

Damn I didnt know the myoungshin collar works on the knee lever, maybe ill try that next time if i wanna do a full collar setup

[@theasianviking86]

I almost left but after I heard the G-gundam theme! I ran back to the computer! (good stuff!)

[@NUFAN065]

Awesome edits! Keep it up

[@iamsteppy]

Damn Alex really popped off here

[@alexnostalgix]

Had to stunt just alittle bit for this one

[@larvaedadindex]

The PRODUCTION, MAN

[@CGoody564]

As one who bought almost every available part for every configuration of the golden lever available (because im a hopeless collector) ill say this; if you have a particular setup in mind, by all means go for it. Otherwise, getting a bunch of different parts to experiment to find a particular setup you like is going to be a bad time unless you're loaded. Also, fuck brass

[@ofDepreciationatTaxRate]

Please review the Sanjuks V6! I just got mine and I'm in love, but it's also my first Korean lever so I'm not sure if I'm able to be objective.

[@alexnostalgix]

I probably wont since i dont feel the need to get it but only time will tell like these two levers

[@ofDepreciationatTaxRate]

@@alexnostalgix We will wait and see... that aluminum shaft? The custom modded switch with added hinges? The all aluminum housing body? You know you can't resist! Jk, love your videos either way, nobody is expecting you to blow $85 bucks again, but if you do we'll be here! Also loved your drift channel!

[@EliasVodka]

@@alexnostalgix no problem man

[@bloodmarth]

Thank you for making this video. Now I can convince my friend to not BUY a $150 LEVER HE WON’T USE CORRECTLY!

[@brandonhiggins796]

Nice drop on the Sanjuks V5-C at the end. I got mine back during the summer. Any idea why one of the switches would be three times louder than the others? It totally throws me off.

[@thissmithymanga7119]

Thats the up switch maybe? Some sticks have a higher tension switch for the up input for a less likely mis input.

[@ghoulygammy]

I really want to get a fighting stick, but where would I have to look for one because I'm seeing the same fighting stick over and over again

[@RogerCollectz]

Bro you gotta be one of the funniest guys in the fgc 12:01 lol 😂

[@Section8dc]

How tf did you get the Golden Lever? I play on hitbox most of the time but I play on K stick too and I remember seeing them sold out everywhere last time I checked lol. That's one thing I love about hitbox is I dont have to deal with lever parts, breaking them in etc etc. With hitbox you just got good old sanwas. Love the videos by the way, such high quality work.

[@alexnostalgix]

I guess not many people go for the full collar since it was one of the few available. As much as I hate to admit the hitbox is probably more practical choice but moving the lever around for me is very nostalgic, non pun intended lol

[@Section8dc]

@@alexnostalgix hell yah agreed, I completely agree with Daigos viewpoint that hitbox is the future. The thing you have with stick is the fact that you can walk into any arcade and just PLAY, people who play on only hitbox will never be able to do that. I played on hitbox for like a week after years of playing on stick and I knew I would never go back to stick full time. People act like its some type of cheat code, but it definitely has its drawbacks, like playing Mishimas on the right side for instance is much easier on stick imo. Wave dashing with your ring and middle finger takes a ton of practice, and doing things like full circles will have your hands aching like a mf.

[@brandob5452]

First off great content man, I really need help been trying to mod my stick with a step drill bit and it has taken me 4-6 hours to increase the whole size to 35mm, I had to stop and start a lot because it would just get to hot and not cut anymore and then I would have to charge the drill. I wanted to mod my brothers stock also but this lengthy process has put me right off, surely it should not take that long!. can you give please give me some guidance how you do it, what the process is and and how long it took please.

[@16aravan]

i wonder what your favorite lever is right now , i just ordered the sanjuks v6 cant wait pogu have been using the knee lever for quiete some time now

[@alexnostalgix]

The Vanilla V5 has been my go to for the last 6 months though I do kinda want to try the V6 though I heard it's not much different from the V5C.
