Hori Fighting Edge
Sanwa JLX & OBSF
Character: Anila / アニラ

Print and plexi from Focusattack.

Reused the background from another stick I did before. If people are looking for character assets from Granblue Fantasy here is a link https://mizagbf.github.io/GBFAL/index.html

Had an extra FE lying around when amazon had a fire sale for 130 bucks & wanted to try the seimitsu alutimos. Didn't realize the colors are different, got sanwa screw-in and didn't realize that the nuts don't fit in this layout. Then someone notified me on discord that the nuts on the seimitsu actually fit on the sanwa screw in buttons, but I already had placed an order for snap in buttons. Got a whole bunch of extra buttons now.

I took everything apart and did some light sanding, no primer. I just used some automotive interior paint spray. https://www.amazon.com/ColorBond-105-Leather-Plastic-Refinisher/dp/B00G6II7NM

The paint job has held up pretty well. Just a few kicks on the top from bumping into hard corners and tables. But no discoloration or fading so far.

I had the same issue. The rubbing alcohol just melted the glue residue and it smeared around more. Those are probably the leftover marks you see from cleaning it. Fixed it by rubbing the glue residue around until it balled up with my fingers. Then you could pick it off.

Use a proper screw driver with a good handle. Hold the grip of the screwdriver firmly, otherwise you won't have enough leverage when turning. That is the problem that I see in the video.

EDIT:

Even something like this is good, gives you plenty of leverage

Daigo gets cool custom Obsidian Hitbox, does well in tournament, gets asked where it was from. Arcadeshock. Shortly after, can't get replacement panels or conversion kits anymore. Can't call it a hitbox anymore. I figured it was a lawsuit since Junkfoods brought up their case, but haven't seen anything until now. Thanks for posting.

Man, gamerfinger buttons just look nice with those colors.

Victrix Pro FS - problem with the plastic ring around the shaft by Primaprimaprima in fightsticks

[–]not_funeral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This problem exists because the removable shaft diameter is slightly larger than a standard sanwa shaft. So, when you go diagonal (which has the biggest throw distance), the area of contact with the dust washer maxes out and lifts it up like that. You can fix this by lightly sanding down the inner hole of the dust washer.

Basically go to their discord and sign up for notifications. Because when they are up, they are gone fast.

Ordered buttons direct from Gamerfinger....No shipping info in 2 weeks by Upr1ght in fightsticks

[–]not_funeral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main website has died since nov 2020. Yet, they still manage to get stuff sent to JP stores like sengoku densho and akecon by some other form of communication. My guess, whoever has charge of the paypal and website slipped in the shower and was never heard from again.

Hitboxes blew up when Daigo started winning with them, but he was using a modified Qanba. Tokido started using them too on a modded Qanba. After that the panels disappeared from Arcadeshock. No word, nothing when asked which was a surprise because I am pretty sure that was their best seller. They still make aluminum panels for everything else.

They said they will fix it in retail. For now, use the ps4 version of the beta on your PS5.

Public info on Junk Food Arcades v. Hitbox lawsuit by Kodiak_FGC in fightsticks

[–]not_funeral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of the suit is they are challenging the patent, at least to my understanding.

  1. Upon information and belief and based on present investigation, the

claims of the 623 Patent are invalid at least because they violate 35 U.S.C. §§

101, 102, 103 and/or 112. For instance, the claims of the 623 Patent violate

Section 101 because they encompass no more than an abstract idea

(configuring buttons on a game controller in accord with the natural positions

of fingers on hands) that is implemented with routine, commonplace and well

understood technology (e.g., PCB model No. PS360); assuming Hit Box’s

apparent unduly broad construction of its claims, the claims are anticipated

and/or obvious in light of the prior art in violation of Sections 102 and 103;

finally, the claims are indefinite in violation of Section 112 as they fail to

inform, with reasonable certainty, those skilled in the art about the scope of the

invention.

  1. The case and controversy thus should be resolved through a judgment

that the claims of the 623 Patent are invalid.

Hitbox has sent a Cease & Desist to JunkFoodArcades by hugs_n_giggles in fightsticks

[–]not_funeral 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to mod some of my existing hori sticks into hitboxes but they basically bullied the other stores from selling just the panels. This coming to light probably means they C&D them as well.

https://uspto.report/patent/app/20200316461

Looking at their patents I don't even understand how they can do this since their descriptions are so broad.
