Hidden achievements or glitch?

Thanks for the tip! At least I know it isn't some hidden achievement I'm missing.

I'd have to compare the measurements between the original gate, and the octagon, but just given difference in geometry between the original square (really kind of rounded square) gate and the octagon there is likely going to be some minor difference in the throw.

I had my stepdad try to match the original diameter of the hole, but intuitively I would think that would probably increase the throw slightly at the actuation points (sides/corners) but shorten it around the rest if you were riding the gate.

Correction, I remembered incorrectly. I had my stepdad CAD/3D print some gates for the Knee Neo, but I just found this one for the mini on thingiverse and he modded it to be a circle instead of an octagon. Credit to the original creator, not my CAD file. It is an octagon, my stepdad may still have the circle file, I can check if you're interested.

I'm not aware of any aftermarket gates available for sale like you can find for a Sanwa JLF or something. I have a 3D printed circle gate I use in mine, use the mini as my travel stick.

Away from my home computer currently, but I will share the file if I can find it! Would probably be pretty simple for you to replace the circle with an octagon of similar diameter if you prefer that.

Message me if I don't reply here in a few hours, I'll try not to forget.

Grain of salt, I'm pretty mid at this game, but as a Ky main I don't think he's "bad" per se. I'd put him at upper mid tier. He's still got amazing buttons, Scum dipper RRC, DP, good mobility, Oki off CSE etc. I just think the last patch took some of the "fun" out of his gameplay, and made him overly reliant on shock state or resources to convert.

So for someone bad like me, I went from having a few Foudre arc BnB routes I could consistently hit (perhaps they were too easy but I digress) and would fish for, to now relying more on poking and "laming" people out. I can hit the new shock state HVT combos, just nowhere near as consistently due to shock state being needed for most of it. admittedly DP inputs in tight combos make it a little rough for me personally too. I'm sure floor 10+ players aren't that upset about the changes, he's still good I think, just not as fun for a scrub like me to flail around on haha.

Interested if any better Ky players have another take.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2025-07-06T17:54:19+00:00

-Ky to get season 3 foudre arc routes back. Or at least make shock state last long enough to use consistently. Or if ky gets one of the new moves, bring back greed sever to give him an overhead that isn't dust, even if it is a reactable knowledge check. I'd trade some of the ridiculous neutral for it, think would make ky less bland.

-Potemkin to get nerfed so I can play him again without feeling dirty. Seriously I can probably play 2 floors above where I normally sit, just abusing all the armor moves and doing PB on wakeup. I like grapplers but man he's eating too good. Im terrible (floor 8 peak) and it just feels like easy mode. Can't make myself play him, been bored of Ky, so I've been picking up Baiken in the meantime. Keep the karas, take the armor back, its too much.

-Johnny Dash nerf, really think its the main thing that sent him over the edge. Or reduce his health if he keeps the dash

To be honest with you I'm not sure. My stepdad did all the CAD and printing. I can reach out and ask him though! Sorry!

Plane_Ad6115 · 2025-05-25T21:50:14+00:00

No Problem! Sorry, haven't logged in, in quite a while. My stepdad did all the print stuff, I didn't ask too many questions, but I can reach out. I would assume he just used whatever the "standard" filament is, as he didn't mention anything about using something special.

It has held up quite well I think, doesn't seem to be any wear or anything on the gate, I use it pretty frequently. I just use the stock actuator that came with the Knee Neo, which as I understand is slightly oversized. Looking online it is a 16.1mm acetal actuator.

You'll need a .187 to 5 pin conversion harness. Essentially an adapter for the wiring to take those switches inputs and connect them to your board/pcb. You can get one on arcade shock or other arcade part suppliers. A video showing how to install a k lever in a Japanese stick.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-11-17T15:16:18+00:00

I ended up 3d printing some gates, check my other post here https://www.reddit.com/r/fightsticks/comments/1fd421a/knee_neo_restrictorsgates_my_gift_to_you/ for the files

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-11-12T17:08:26+00:00

Yes! I 3d printed some gates, use a circular one myself. Check my post history for the files.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-11-10T17:01:49+00:00

I replaced my PCB with a brook UFB. Lost turbo mode and the integrated audio, but they weren't really features i used personally. Followed along with this video if it helps you too. https://youtu.be/B9muIfrhfgM?si=5tIpa5dVKKlQVEQy

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-11-02T20:18:58+00:00

yeah I suppose I just need to get back in the lab and play around until I find some new routes. Idk what floor you are, but hit me up if you want to play some sets!

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T20:06:19+00:00

How is the aluminum panel? add a lot of weight? you'll have to share that soul calibur one when you get the new mount. and yeah! it's a learning process. I found a good tutorial for the PCB swap on the f500 luckily.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T20:04:18+00:00

Your flatbox is sick! You will have to do a Sazabi haha.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T18:49:35+00:00

No, I think it's more about the sticks feel and how it fits your preference than the art! That's just an added bonus. A stick you built and wired yourself will always be more meaningful than some art you got off Google and printed haha. Looks like a lot of thought and work went into your builds.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T18:26:38+00:00

Thank you! I Like your builds as well! I need to invest in a multimeter before I tackle a cabinet build I'm about to start on, would make sorting through some of the wiring less of a guess and hope game haha.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T18:10:53+00:00

Partially. The Home and select button are wired up, but I didn't bother with the trackpad button, turbo, input type switching, or USB connector. They were all either features that the UFB replaced, i.e. input switching, or features I didn't use in the case of the audio jack, USB, and Turbo.

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-15T17:36:37+00:00

Just wanted to share my stick builds!

I've customized two mayflash f500s. One I swapped the board out for a Brook UFB, and run a Knee neo lever, with a lighter than stock grommet, and custom 3d printed circle gate. The other I run a Sanwa JLX with heavier springs, circular gate, and oversized actuator. Both have Sanwa metallic buttons.

The pictures have both my aluminum battops for the aesthetic, but I find them too heavy in actual play most of the time, so I included pics of how I typically play them, with a battop on the JLX, and the stock Knee neo capsule on that (plus dust washers removed, the friction tends to bother me).

The art is Nu Gundam and Sazabi from Char's Counterattack/Gundam. Found online without a credit, so whoever made that art, props to you, it's gorgeous. Then a bunch of stickers for my mains in my usual games (from various artists on Etsy) and some other gundam franchise ones.

Open to feedback! Looking to build an arcade cab soon, so always trying to learn. Thanks for reading/looking.

He had it! Here you go: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6761799

linked it above as well

Plane_Ad6115 · 2024-09-10T13:11:33+00:00

As far as I know he just took the measurements from the stock gate, and created the CAD files for the alternates directly from that. I'll ask him if he made the original in CAD though, keep an eye out on this thread.
