SANWA GT-Y Upgraded Version – Model GTN-Y, Designed for JLF-TP-8YT Original Joysticks, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable Arcade Restrictor Gate, GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate for Sanwa JLF Joysticks

There are purists who would disagree with me, but I swear up and down with the awesomeness of this product. This Octagonal Restrictor Gate is a MUST for my style of fighting gameplay. Most SANWA joysticks come with a Square Restrictor Gate in place, as that is the standard for Japanese arcade machines. Now, while I can play with the Square, I much prefer the Octagon. I find it much more suited for my style of play in fighting games, such as STREET FIGHTER, KING OF FIGHTERS, and MARVEL VS. CAPCOM. As a “Shoto” player (one who uses Ken, Ryu, and Akuma) this gate allows me to execute my special moves with precision and ease. With this, you’ll be pulling off “Sho Ryu Ken’s” and “Hadou Kens” like Daigo Umehara! It’s also well suited for fighters who are used to a lot of 360 degree movements, like Zangief. This Restrictor Gate is designed by SANWA, for SANWA joysticks. If you are customizing your own arcade-style stick, or you have your own customs arcade system, this simple device makes fighting games a breeze! For me, I can’t imagine not playing fighting games without the Octagonal Restrictor Gate in place. This makes a huge difference in my gameplay, and I highly recommend it for any serious fighting game fan.

Fantastic addition for the 8BitDo Arcade Stick. Super easy to install and works exactly how I wanted! Highly recommend.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The item came in a small, plastic baggie and was really easy to install into my super kawaii (japanese for cute, for those who don't know) Street Fighter X Sanrio fight stick. It's made of thick clear plastic and seems to be resilient. It fit perfectly and was a literal 'snap into place' installation. The octagonal restrictor plate is my preference because unlike the square restrictor, you can easily do half-circle movements. And unlike the completely circular restrictor plates, you have an easy guide to help you find angles. Granted, in the end, it all comes down to preference, so what works for me may not be best for you, but if you do get this, you will not regret it. Now, it off to fighting game tournaments so I can beat my competition with my pink fight stick! Oh, that sounds kinda dirty...

You won’t be disappointed

Ordered this gate for my HORI soul cal 5 stick. have absolutely no complaints about the product itself. the gate is VERY handy for characters that involve circular movements of any kind. i find that i can even use this gate with charge characters too. The product itself is a complete 5 out of 5. with that said, this thing was REALLY expensive on amazon. you could get one of these babies with shipping included from Focus attacks website for about 8 bucks. other arcade sites are around the same price too. i didnt think to buy off a site other than amazon, so i ended up paying their price of almost $15!!! its also important to note that the day after i ordered it, amazon sent me an email saying that the shipping date was going to be around 2 weeks, even though i live in the us and the product itself was also in the us. it DID end up arriving within like 5 days of my order, but it is important to note the peculiarity of that email. all in all id say the product works as it should, but you should do your best to shop around!

Got this mod for my MAYFLASH F300 and it fit perfectly.

I saw several reviews that said it would not work with this particular cabinet but I managed to get them on there after a bit of a struggle. Very easy to install too overall from start to finish, just YouTube it. Just be patient and try to get the tabs in the holes slowly bc its a very very snug fit. Once they are all in there you have to press down pretty firmly and hold the opposite side down. to get them to lock in but they are pretty sturdy tabs. I wasnt concerned the tabs were going to break even when was figuring it out. It was like playing a whole new game. A MUST for any decent StreetFighter player.

Using original Sanwa branded parts and not aftermarket knockoffs that look identical is a really big deal, especially these gates and restrictors. I know from experience and after receiving these can confirm our sticks are perfect.

Exactly what is advertised, installs just as easily as you'd think, and does what it's supposed to. With about five years of experience using a square gate, I wanted to give one of these a try, and I'm not sure which I prefer at this point. Since there are more corners, they end up feeling less secure than on a square gate, as in, it's easier to roll around between corners. For dragon punch motions (forward > down > down-forward), I feel like the square gate gives better feedback, but the octagonal gate feels much better for large rolling motions like 360's, which have always been an issue for me on stick. I'm also liking the feel of the octagonal gate for assorted games with octagonal movement options--platformers, shmups, and what have you. Honestly, if you're comfortable with opening up your arcade stick (and if you're using one of the new MadCatz TE2 variants, how could you not be? Hell, there's even room to leave the other gate in there for on-the-fly switching), I see no reason not to give an octa-gate a try--worst case scenario is you don't care for it and are down a few bucks. Speaking of price, you can theoretically get these cheaper elsewhere, but if you're in Canada, ordering from Canadian Joysticks or Focus Attack or whatever is going to run you enough shipping that it'll end up at the same price or more than buying from Amazon would anyhow.

Great quality! If you are Shoto (Ryu, Ken or Akuma etc.) Player like me, you need to buy this asap. It'll be much easier to perform execution for these type of characters. Just go for it.

Muy buen producto. Llegó en el tiempo estimado. Yo lo compré para la N30 Arcade de 8bitdo y usarla en Nintendo Switch ya que de fabrica esa palanca viene con 4 posiciones solamente (en fotos es la pieza de plastico transparente y la Sanwa es la q tiene plastico amarillo), le quedó a la perfeccion y es muy facil de instalar... La palanca de 8bitdo de fabrica es de 4 posiciones como lo mencioné antes, se mueve y responde bien, pero en juegos de peleas se disfruta y se juega mejor con una de estas de 8 posiciones (solo cambiando esa pieza plastica transparente por esta de Sanwa ya tenemos 8 posiciones, muy facil). No fué elevado el precio y la calidad de sanwa pues mas que magnifica... siento que hubiera quedado mejor con una pieza de estas circular... pero por desgracia no la vende Amazon, esta de 8 posiciones tambien es muy buena opcion. Dejó fotos, el acrílico con el centro color amarillo, es el de 8 posiciones, y el que es todo transparente es el de 4 posiciones (El que viene de fábrica con la palanca de 8bitdo). Es genial jugar juegos de peleas con 8 posiciones, los 'poderes' salen más fluidos. Super recomendado !
