@TingBoy Ah, ok. When I was hearing 8-way, I thought 8-way without all that restriction from a square gate. Maybe I will get an octagonal gate eventually. Thanks.

@gold3263301 The stick is 8-way out of the box. Setting it to a diamond shape restricts movement to 4-way.

@TingBoy So, switching the gate to 8-way sets it to a diamond shape? Or, when the stick's out of the box, it's already 8-way?

@Santino703 Its just specifically for Sanwa JLF gates. I don't know of any other joysticks that use a similar design.
-
@yiyo556x45 Yes, its the same stick, so it'll work

Hello..Can I do this with the square gate in my ssf4 te round2 fightstick too? I'm seeing a lot of videos were people are replacing it with an octagonal plate restrictor.

@riky400 No. 4-way/8-way denotes how many directions a joystick can input. All JLFs in any joystick can input 8 directions, therefore being 8-ways. This video is about setting the shape of the restrictor. Normally, on most joysticks available today, it is set to a square shape. This video is for teaching owners how to set it to a diamond shape that may help give a more authentic feel for other games like Pac-Man
So in order for me to switch to an octo. i must purchase the sanwa JLF & GT-Y?? Btw it is for my madcatz se stick if this helps any.

@DinoZoooTV I believe Madcatz SE sticks can use any of the Sanwa gates out of the box. It just takes a bit more muscle to take off the stock gate from the SE and put in the GT-Y

@DinoZoooTV I don't think you need to buy the JLF. The GT-Y should be able to fit on the Madcatz SE joystick.
