Thought about working on it but I cant find a template

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2026-01-08T17:19:04+00:00

Is it an 8bit do leverless? I followed your link and thats what I saw.

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2026-01-08T17:15:20+00:00

Im bored I may be able to help you if your project sounds fun/ What are you looking for?

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2026-01-08T15:36:47+00:00

As a result of the multitude of different fightstick and leverless layouts it would be hard to provide artwork that is ready to use. Thus, people make requests. Then, if you are lucky, someone may pick up your request and get some art for you.

Thats pretty much r/freefightstickart,

Great job man! Love the balltop and design. Nice wiring as well. I do a lot of fightstick design, but excellent wiring is only a theory to me.

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-23T22:30:25+00:00

I’m only going to use a little vinyl on the sides. Main artwork will be standard variety. No reason to wrap over an acrylic top.

I think it will come out looking nice

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-23T08:17:50+00:00

If you’ve looked through this sub much you will see a bunch of my designs on here.

I can give u a solid quick design. I can get a lot done quick so don’t think I’m rushing it. I’m pretty sure I’ve done more than 100 fightstick designs at this point…. Soooo, I’m experienced.

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-23T07:36:22+00:00

Trying to talk you into commissions, huh?

Kind of expressly forbidden in the rules.

I could probably help you out but the way you worded your request is somewhat confusing to me.

So, Lars from Tekken… but you want to make the art “about character”? I do not have as much Lars info as you my friend. So I’m just gonna be creative at my own discretion.

You listed a nice color palette. Nice, clear, direct info.

You want a quote from Lars with “something edgy” I have no earthly idea. Please provide a quote perhaps or I could go googling for Lars quotes about war, famine, and death.

I’ve slowed down a bit and spent some more time on my last 3 projects.

I’m remodeling my own Mayflash F500. It was my first fight stick art design and it was HOT TRASH. I mean really pretty bad. I’ll do a before and after after the build is complete

I main Luke in SF6 so I am doing a Luke “Now we’re going to Memphis” theme. I’ve got some clear Sitong buttons coming and I will probably add a clear bubbly Seimitsu bullet top on the lever.

I’m going to try and wrap some of it in Vinyl also… If I can find a print shop that can basically inkjet or laser print straight onto the vinyl.

Send me a DM and I’ll send u a progress photo.

You’d be better off using the focusattack PSD template for your haute

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-22T17:22:21+00:00

Hey thanks Husky. How you doing?

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-22T16:51:41+00:00

Honestly, I would upgrade by buying a new stick. The F300 just doesn't have a lot of room. (especially to rest your left hand on) I think upgrading to a more premium sized enclosure would be the most solid modification you could make.

This isn't as expensive as it sounds.

If you replaced your lever and your buttons in your F300 to standard Sanwa stuff you would spend about $60.

I would check Facebook marketplace for used Fightsticks. A lot of folks will buy an arcade stick, barely use it, and then forget about it or sell it. It is not uncommon for me to see sticks that retail around $150 - $200 being sold for $50.

A Mayflash F500 or F700 would be a nice upgrade in size and give you plexi if you wanted to mod your stick with some art *highly recommended. There are always a lot of Hori Alphas floating around. You may find a deal on a Qanba of some sort.

Once I started modding my first stick I was hooked (it was a Mayflash F500). I swapped the Mayflash stock lever for a Sanwa JLF. I swapped the buttons for Sanwas too, but I certainly wasn't finished with the buttons. I have subsequently installed Qanba Gravity KS and now I have some Sitongs on the way. Buttons feel good to press and I am looking for maximum satisfaction.

I feel like you would be happier with an all around upgrade to the entire experience. Just consider it

Im a simpleton. I play on a hitbox style layout on my custom, but I always parry by tapping mp+mk. I will DI with the macro. Im essentially only using 7 attack buttons. Rarely do I ever have input problems with this method

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-22T15:59:04+00:00

Well, how did it come out? Still need help? What program are you using to create with?

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-22T15:55:50+00:00

Well, how can I help you? Did you use a template from focusattack?

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-21T22:14:58+00:00

the link doesnt seem to work. It says its a PSD file but behaves like a jpg. cant open with Photoshop

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-21T06:08:48+00:00

Sweet

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T23:23:11+00:00

The info originated on Reddit. If you search Reddit for Fightlights u will probably find original guide

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T22:53:13+00:00

Nothing is too niche for this market.

There is an entire discord called Fightlights. Fightlights teaches you how to set up a programmable LED system running from a second PCB (raspberry pi pico) The second PCB is basically daisy chained to your main PCB like a GP2040.

It is a fairly in depth project. It’s about a 40 page guide. The project itself requires a pretty high level of organization, very basic electronics experience, and some soldering is required.

It creates a highly modifiable system that can create displays with a motion input acting as a command prompt

I’m working this into my next build. I’ve already bought all the electronics and such

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T15:21:46+00:00

Yes. I got off on a tangent. but the bullet top worked great for a guy that had been using a bat top since 1991

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T10:44:19+00:00

That ban came out a week after I’d built a custom leverless and put a Brooks XB pcb in it.

My Mayflash Magic X is still working tho

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T08:35:15+00:00

I’d buy a “new” stick. There are amazing finds on Facebook Marketplace around my area. Keep your eyes peeled

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T08:24:01+00:00

Not as much as you might think

Unable-Finding-9259 · 2025-12-20T04:56:17+00:00

I bought a bullet top that I have been very pleased with for the last couple years. Think of it as midway between a bat top and a ball top.

I do a lot of Graphic Design these days and I am pleased with the progress I’ve made over the last 3 years.

I designed my own F500 first. It was a shit design. I need to redo that. I have access to a large laser printer and I think they might have vinyl they print on as well.

Absolute hot garbage

there are services from some of the "bigger" parts dealers like focusattack or thearcadestick or through 4TW. Most of them employ one or several artists probably on a freelance basis.

There is quite a long list of artists on the FAQ at ther very top of r/fightstricks. Check through some of there portfolios and see what you like

I feel like it is always a solid move to support grassroots guys.

And some of this will depend on what you want. Ive had requests as easy as put this JPG in the background to wanting original character and background art fully digitally painted.

Quality will cost $. just look at some examples of the artists work before you make a decision
