- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2020
- In early 2020 the beloved full collar Taeyoung and Crown 309Help Me, have been converted to short collar versions. They sport some new builds that compliment their previous versions while offering a familiar experience from their previous iterations.

You are the coolest nerd on the planet. My man, you are so knowledgeable and you are singlehandedly covering in increadible detail about our niche hobby that barely anyone else on youtube is talking about. You have been some much needed help and relief 😩
So you call him nerd just because of these videos? I don't think he can be considered a Nerd.
"joining the, 'thank god i dont have to cut my fucking fight stick club'" lmaooo
LOOOOOL exact thought I had
Great to you see you're back. I get a lot of info from your vids dude. Thank you
I love the work you put in on these videos man..
Just got into modding arcade sticks. I’ve been rewatching your videos over and over again just because I’m starved for arcade stick content and yours is top notch ngl.
I want to say thanks and I appreciate how in depth your videos are. I finally decided to order a 309 mj and replace my hayabusa. Thanks again!
Yessss! Been waiting for this vid to drop! Stay safe man and fantastic content as always!🙏🏽
Man arcadeshock/crown should give you commission cuz you just convinced me to buy the NEW HELPME! Good shit as always my guy.
how is it?
@@RubbinRobbin I'm gonna be 200% honest with you I haven't even put it in yet. I got distracted with other projects recently.
Funny side effect though. Traditionally I've only ever used ball tops. Decided to slap the bat top this came with onto my JLF just for shits and giggles. It's amazing and I honestly can't go back. I ended up buying a different bat top to put on my JLF.
@@VulcanBaum687 I just bought it too! if youve put it in now let me know how you like it :)
Round I can vouch. This Alex fu got me buying k-levers and it’s fuckin dope. I just don’t know what to do with my, essentially now useless, Sanwa levers.
Awesome content. Big thanks, your vids helped me decide to try K-levers. Went with a 309-mj for my first one and I love it.
Great content as always man. I'm happy with my Fujin V3, but I love to hear you break down levers. Congrats on 1k, you deserve so much more tbh.
Despite being three years old, these videos have been really helpful making me decide which KLever I should be starting with.
Lucky for me a web shop here in spain sells the new helpme, so Im likely starting with that.
Props for making reference to G Gundam
I appreciate how personable you are. I've learned so much about arcade stick modding because of you. I'm currently learning the stick, my execution on pad considering the FG I mash so I invested Hella bread on brooks boards,levers(seimitsu bullet,mj crazy dong)buttons...and my purchases were made because of your comprehensive and insightful content. That's facts. 1st time I ever commented on RUclips 😆But I had to show my gratitude whether u read this or not.
welcome to the black hole that is arcade parts lol, appreciate the comment broham
Bro it's so good to see you again and I'm glad you've been safe! Content was great and loved the Gundam and Ruby scenes. Lol. I'm following you on Twitch now. 😁
Top notch content as always. And congratulations on the 1k subs, but you deserve way more.
And the quarantine hair is starting to show up. Rough times.
Niceee! Was waiting on this one!
Great video once again & congratualtions on getting over 1k subscribers. Hope you get your hands on a Cool Bear lever in the near future for a video review.
Congrats on 1k man!
I picked up the New Help Me a week ago and I've been enjoying it a lot. I've got the Knee lever on the way, can't wait.
How’s the knee lever? Ordered mine for my first Korean lever. Should be here by Friday
Ordered my HELPME lever 3 weeks ago and still waiting. this video just came up as we speak and made me even more excited to recieve my lever. PEWGF here we come :)
where did yo order youres?

Another great video Alex! I recently installed the Taeyoung Fanta (low collar) in my Hori Fighting Edge, and I'm loving it. I dropped the tension down to a blue 35A grommet, since I found the stock 45A to be too fatiguing for longer sessions for me. Mine also came with a chip in the acuator, so it might be a cosmetic defect with the injection molded plastic. Not entirely sure, but it doesn't seem to affect actual performance.
Nice a current HORI owner like myself lol. I have the RAP 4, so hopefully my question makes sense. Did you have to get the mounting plate for the short collar too? I know we still need the .187 to 5 point harness. But I am unsure if that is needed. Also good mention of the grommet. Ima try the stock version out and see how I like it. I currently have a 2lb spring in my hayabusa lever.
@@unru1y_disciple143 Nope, a mounting plate isn't necessary. The chopped collar Taeyoung should mount just fine without it. I think you only really need those special mounting plates for full collar Korean levers, since the spacing of the screws is different from Japanese style mounts. As a side note, one of the microswitch pins may press against the cable compartment, after you install the lever. It should still function just fine, but you can always carefully bend the pin if it bothers you (I didn't bother doing so).
This is awesome!!
Really helpful insights on the niche topics.
Congrats on 1k subs!!
ik this is an older video but i love the appreciation for CAPTAL STEEZ squeezed in
Top notch as always...
Congrats!
I decide buy the lever from watching this video, thank you
I am curious about trying the taeyoung fanta short collar. I play on sanwa jlf, and wonder if this would make a difference for me while playing tekken. I also run the kowal oversized actuator.
This dude's so awesome I'm watching korean lever videos... and I don't even know how to use my my arcade stick properly.
Nice vid, I was wondering if I should get the new help_me and it was nice to see an actual review
Some of the responses from Korean forum suggests that the new help_me switches feels on par if not the same as Panasonic am5? What are everyone's thoughts on this
I am curious how the Taeyoung unit compares with a Myoungshin Fanta. I feel like the Myoungshin is just more solid than Crown's offerings (though I am using a soft grommet instead of the stock one). Might be covered in your other video :)
Nice vid. Convenience aside, are there any actual differences when it comes to the full collared vs. short collared Taeyoung? Planning to get one, but not sure yet. I have a full-collared Myoungshin Fanta on one of my sticks, but the other stick I have doesn't have a 35mm hole yet.
This man is epic. Should have way more subs man, just saying👍🏿👍🏿
Hi Alex,
I have a quick question regarding low collar and non collar korean stick. So i recently bought the Etokki omni (Korean version).
Is it possible to mount non collar (Ex: Knee Lever) or low collar ( short collar crazy dongpal) onto my stick?
Thanks Alex!!
Great videos, I’ve been watching all of them sense I am wanting to convert to a Korean Lever. Quick question for you. So I have a HORI Rap 4 currently and on a tight budget. In this video you mentioned not having to drill a bigger hole when getting the taeyoung short collar. Would you happen to know if I still need to get the conversion mount plate? I know I still need the .187 to 5pin harness but I wanted to know if the conversion plate is still important as well? The Etokki was on my radar but I am gonna just have to just get the Korean lever for now. Hopefully this all makes sense. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
The short collar version is plug and play since it comes with japanese style mounting plate and ofcourse just needing the harness. Funny enough the rap4 was my first fightstick and first one i modded for a korean lever, have fun man stay safe aswell.
fantastic content now i feel like buying another lever and i think i will get the new help me lever even tho im using the knee lever right now
how is it so far?
for a newbie that wants to develop good habits on KL's (and keep failing as a mishima lol) what lever do you recommend? Ive been led to these two a few times
im trying to decide between new helpme and alpha 49s. Can you help me decide? I am playing on sanwa atm but pretty much beginner on stick
I am thinking about getting the Short-collar Taeyoung lever but I’d love to change the battop on it. Does anyone know any compatible shafts or mods I could do that could makes this possible?
There’s something oddball about the grommet that’s comes with ‘Lil Tae’. Though it’s black and looks like the 45A at first glance, it’s slightly thinner by about 1 - 1.5mm and the hole in the centre is also slightly larger. This makes it feel softer and more smoother than my 40A red (when it should be firmer!). It’s simply listed as a ‘medium tension grommet’ - a modified 45A perhaps? that performs more like a 35 IMO 👍
Hey Alex! Hope you are doing great. I wanted to know about this here 12:47 Is the lever spinning a good thing? It’s just that, I got my knee lever, and it was spinning like crazy, so I found a way of tightening it up. Was that supposed to be a feature? I’m confused as thats my first korean lever.
Cheers.
The lever spinning should be present but the knee lever for some reason has plenty of spin lol. I mentioned this actually in my review of how the knee lever spin feels alittle excessive but no the amount on the knee lever is normal lol
This video helps me a lot so I can choose the right k-lever, one question tho what case/enclouse is at 5:29 ?
glad to see ur doing new videos. so i have a question , so all crown levers have two different sizes on their actuators. I have the DX QR version and im wondering. also can you do a video on low tension k sticks and their pros and cons. I ask because with gaming mice are becoming lighter, i wonder if low tension would benifit some people
No, the knew help me at the moment is the only lever that offers two actuators from what I know. They crown series has a couple actuator options from IST I think like the cdp, 303,mj, new help and I think the 301 but I forget. Check out my round up part 2 as the fanta29gn is a low tension k-lever which what I say can generally apply to low tension levers.
Funny, I've been playing on the low collar taeyoung and just ordered the HELPME stick. So far the taeyoung is okay. Still need more time. I ordered different micros and actuators and we'll see...
I personally love the New Helpme. I only have the Benylis to compare to but the Helpme feels amazing. I love the tight feeling of the Helpme and everything else about it just feels really natural. Would recommend 7/7
I also have the Taeyoung from the Etokki Omni and I just ordered the New Help me. How did you like the change from the Taeyoung to Help me >
Great video, very detailed and quick to the point.
I've been wanting to mod my stick for a while now but I dont know wich k lever is best for a first lever. All i know is that my jlf feels too light and i dont like the square gate for circular motions (i play tekken). Should i go for a 309mj and get a stiffer grommet or is the new helpme better? I would consider the various fanta levers as well but I've heard they're not very beginner friendly. I don't have the possibility to try any of them out and I wouldnt wanna have to buy a second one since where i live shipping fees are quite high. What would you suggest?
If your looking for a crown lever then the 309 New help me would be a great choice if you want to start out with something more tensioned than a mj. On the fanta side of things i would say go for the 47c or 49s. Buying extra grommets can extend your options when it comes to feel but wouldn't hurt to have different tensions on hand. I usually get 2 grommets when trying levers by having one higher tension than stock and one below it just incase. Hope that helps.
@@alexnostalgix I already own a crown 309mj is the crown 309 new helpme significantly better? If I replace my stock grommet within my 309mj with the 30A grommet would it give me a similar feel to the new help me. I mainly play tekken , sf5, guilty gear rev2.
thank you sir
Another great video! I've been wanting to hear more about that low collar Taeyoung..
So how does the low Tae compare to the 2019 Myoungshin Fanta? Also curious if that low collar from the Taeyoung would fit in the Myoungshin body?
its not a worlds difference but the taeyoung has more wobble when returning to neutral giving a looser feel. The biggest feeling between the two is probably the resistance in dead zone as the taeyoung imo feels looser overall. The taeyoung colllar will not work with a myoungshin because the base wont mate properly.....you may force it but at that point why bother
I'm torn between cdp and newhelpme, with the Taeyong Fanta low collar following close behind
7:18
..sniff.... sniff ... u hit a soft spot. 🤧 😆
Is the Taeyoung Fanta "Short Collar" compatible with the Razer Panthera EVO?
Will a Taeyoung Fanta Stick fit onto a Mayflash Elite 300?
Hey Alex, good seeing you in some of the discord servers! I've been asking around, but you mentioned a specific problem I've been having with not getting a full reset to neutral when doing repeated forward inputs (like for Dragunov's WR2). In your opinion, is this more of an execution issue or something that might be resolved with some sort of modification to the lever? You mentioned having a smaller neutral area might contribute. Anything that might be going on switch-wise that might help?
First my question would be do you already know how to do IWR move in general and have the rhythm for it. For me personally I can do most moves on any lever mainly because I just repeat the rhythm I already have in my head. If your having a problem with resetting to neutral a stiffer grommet may help but the added tension may make it difficult to do the forward(s) out of a sidestep or up close to the opponent. Msg me on discord if ya need some help.
Do the golden lever review please! your videos are very informative
Do you think they fit in the Daija?
In your experience of cutting a bigger hole in the panel, how did you go about doing that? Was thinking about cutting a hole into my mad catz TES+ to put the HELPME lever in.
i just use a whole cutting bit on a drill i think
I just got my short collar fanta...my god... the stock feeling is 1000x better then Crown MJ-309-J model (My opinion) smoother and sexier and lighter Fanta feel so nice in my hands
editing messiah
i miss alex nostalgix videos O.O
I only hit diagonals on the weekend
is the taeyoung good for a first korean lever?
Oh shit short taeyoung is actually available?? Shiiit might just get one
You bought your help me from arcade shock?
I'm getting confused... I'm building my own stick, planning on K-lever, but what size hole do i need for a short collar K? Do I not need the same as for the high collar? shouldn't it still be level with the surface it's screwed onto? i'm confused, appreciate any help
You dont need to cut your fightstick at all for a short collar, only full collars. It should sit below the top panel like any other joystick.
@@alexnostalgix Thank you a lot! It's not easy to build a stick from scratch with little knowledge about the stick world xD but I wanna enjoy a creation of mine - so, much appreciated, thank you (by the way, your videos on K-levers are SO helpful and well made, love them)
used to use a jlf sold my stik bought a mixbox but still want to make a stick with a korean lever bcus japanese ones just didnt feel right what do u recommend?
check my korean lever round ups for some options
@@alexnostalgix alright bud
12:08 is that a sequelitis reference? all hey, like the video. its nice learning some stuff
You are correct good sir
GUNDAMOOOO!!
Is that a crossup or a custom version that is seen periodically?
I modded a TE a while back with the cross up layout
Yoooo same here 4:38 idk how to even fix it though it’s so stiff it doesn’t spin
I literally just forced it in a couple times. On mine the cores finish tolerance was alittle tight so moving in and out, the bat "made" some clearance lol
@@alexnostalgix lol ima just do it for 20 mins cause it hasn’t loosened up was thinking of putting wd 40
Lil Tae
Mahn he had the happy birthday 😏😏😏😏
is DBFZ playable on a korean lever or you call it a disadvantage?
Most people prefer balltop levers for 2D fighting games although it comes down to preference. I wouldn’t call it a disadvantage if you like using battops in DBFZ but some people say the round balltop makes circular inputs easier but it’s not exactly scientific.
@@crayzeegamer7695 I play on bat top all the time but there is a difference between Korean lever and Japanese one.
get yourself a JIS screwdriver, it will keep the screws from stripping
I have one just this set stripped pretty easily
@@alexnostalgix ah, makes sense. Cheap ass screws.
I am currently speccing my own arcade stick. I play kazuya mainly (mishima player) what lever do you guys recommend? Some1 switching from pad? Thanks for help guys!
if this is your first stick i heard its better to start with a sanwa or any Japanese stick before trying korean
Wtf happened to your button at 2:55? It rises from its grave.
I'm actually surprised it too this long for someone to notice lol. The wiring in the cross te is super cramped so it would push against the button
...and in the silent sanwas case push the plunger out
@ 4:38 - proof this channel is arcade stick porn
Why you look like early 2000's khalifa
