U360 owners and users with octagonal restrictor please chime in.

ivwshane:

I've read a ton of threads on the various restrictor plates available for the u360 and it seems everyone likes the circular restrictor plate (and the harder spring which I will be getting) but when it comes to the octagonal restrictor plate only a couple of people chimed in but the results were positive.

So before I order one I want to get a few more opinions based off of what games I play.

I'm mostly into fighting vs games (sf2, mk, etc) but I do like playing random games and old schoolers as well.
The moves I have the most problems with on the U360's are tap motions (like raidens torpedo or liu kangs moves). Will restrictor plates help or will this be helped by the harder spring?

I know the throw feels too long to me so I guess the question is which plate will be more "compatible" with the most games (as in feel truer to their real arcade stick)?


And if it matters I have a trackball on my cp as well.

Ginsu Victim:

A restrictor will be good for stuff like MK, since it shortens the throw, making taps easier. Since you're a fighting fan, the octagonal should be a good fit for you. Being able to feel the corners is a good thing in those games.

Visitor Q:

I own two of these with circular restrictor plates and hard springs but can't really speak on octagonal. Seems like it would be a good fit for what you are trying to do though. I would defiantly recommend the hard springs without a doubt. To me it is really one of the only draw backs to these; I wish the springs where even harder.

Are you saying you have the u360 without restrictor already and just looking getting a restrictor & springs?  Or that you have the circular plate and thinking of getting the octogon plate?

The reason I ask is the octogon & circular plates have about the same throw; both are a lot less than without plates.

I don't have the octo plates wither, but I would think they're the way to go if you want to feel the corners and straights.  I really like the smooth feel of the circular plates, but I play mostly scrolling shmups, but don't know first hand how the octo "clunks" feel.

ivwshane:

I have no restictor plates at all and I'm just looking for more feedback on the octagonal plate.

I know I would like the circular ristrictor because it will give me the same feel I have now but with a shorter throw. However the octoganal restrictor seems even better as it might give me better feed back durig play.
