Seimitsu fans?

[genjiglove]

I finally got around to ordering a LS-32-01 the other day and received it today. I haven't had time to throw it in my TE stick yet but I will do it later. Everyone says Seimitsu's feel much tighter and have a shorter throw than a JLF so I'm really looking forward to using it.

Any other Seimitsu users?

LS-32 for life right here man. By far my favorite stick.

 

[genjiglove]

I almost went with a LS-56-01 instead, but I think it might be a bit too tight for me. I do want some looseness to it, but the JLF just feels weird to me.

 

[The Chief]

Yeah, IMO the JLF sticks feel a bit too loose. I've never used an LS-56 before but the LS-32 feels just right.

Got them on both my cabs now, I prefer them for shooters but only just put them in on the MVS cab, will see how it goes.

 

[genjiglove]

Yeah everyone is always saying how great they are for shooters. I personally don't play a lot of shmups but I'm interested to see how they perform for fighters.

I've heard a lot of Capcom cabs came stock with LS-32s and Neo candies had LS-40s I've read. And the Super Battle Opera tournament in Japan uses Seimitsus for their 3rd Strike and ST cabs so there must be something to them.

LS-56 is pretty close the the Semitsu in the original neo sticks... I have one in my HRAP.... LS-32 in two of the cabs... the other has Sanwa for the ... i still find it easier for me to play grappler's on a sanwa...

As far as joysticks go, I like both, I prefered seimitsu at first but now I like both.

However I prefer seimitsu buttons way over sanwa. Sanwa buttons feel worn out to me even when they are brand new. I prefer the stiffer feel of the seimitsu buttons for sure.

A buddy and I just ordered a bunch of LS-32s for akihabara. We are going to make custom josticks with them as we both prefer a shorter throw and harder spring. Seimitsu is our joystick of choice from here on out.

LS-40 4 lyfe, son

I have LS-40's on my exceleena and I think they've improved my STG game considerably. Or maybe it's, uh, placebo?

shorter throw helps to pull out commands much faster, it´s great to escape from tight situations in grand style.

I've got Sanwas buttons on my HRAP 3, and a Neo Geo stick I just ended up with, and I find the buttons to be kind of mushy.

I'm not really digging the feel right now at all - They almost fatigue your hands. I even prefer the Happ comps on my Big Red to the Sanwa buttons. I think I'm going to have to try out some Seimitsu buttons in the future.

I have the LS-32 that came with the HRAP EX SE. I def. agree Seimitsu sticks are better for shooters. There's just something weird about the LS, though, not that I don't like it. It almost feels like an octagonal gate, but I took a look and it's definitley square. It's not a problem for me, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I love the tighter throw, though.

I like Sanwa buttons, but I like Seimitsu's more. I prefer the more tactile feel and the sound response. Also, I'm a form over function guy and the skeleton buttons are just rad.

 

[poodude]

Sanwa sticks feel loose to me and their buttons are too sensitive. Seimitsu are great for all around play and the buttons are more clicky.

 

[SNKorSWM]

Bullet hell shmups seems to be a lot more playable with a Sanwa stick than a Seimitsu one for me.

I installed my LS-32 last night. It seems pretty good, I like how fast it returns to neutral position. But I do have one complaint, when it is actually in its neutral position it seems extremely wobbly. Is that normal?

Yes it is.

an LS-32 requires more maintenance over its life than a JLF, but a JLF feels like you're stirring a box of springs with a screwdriver.

 

[themisterfalcon]

I used to prefer Sanwa almost exclusively. It wasn't until I started playing shooters did I give Semitsu a try.

I now have them fitted on all my cabs, including my hori that I use primarily for Neo fighters, platform and puzzle games.

Still better than a JLW, that feels like a screwdriver stuck in cement. I prefer Seimitsus, but the JLFs with 8 way plates are good too.

Hadoken training wheels eh?

Yeah they aren't bad, I couldn't use them for KOF though as HCB's just never came off.

So no one else has had that psuedo-octagonal feeling with the LS-32?

Yes, I have the answer. It's the restricting gate, even when set in 8 positions (by default) that make this biased corners. I removed it and it's now perfectly square.

Semitsu LS-32 all the way here. I don't mind Sanwas for fighting (I love my 8-way-gate training wheels) - so those are in my Exceleena 2 that's used just for 3rd Strike. But I've got Semitsu in both my Neo cabs and Aero Table..... The Astro still has a Sanwa stick, but I really need to pull that in favor of a Semitsu

How do they require more maintenance?

You own multiple cabs?
