TEKKEN. Nobi San gets lever designed for his play style!
If you’re a Dragunov player, you might want to hear this! The best Dragunov player just got a lever designed for his play style, which is a lot of evasion, moving, spacing, and keeping opponents in check with running 2s and pokes, and evasive cancels and mass elbows.
The EVO 2015 champion and semi-finalist of EVO 2019, is an God Omega ranked Tekken player. He also won that years King of Iron Fist Tournament by defeating Tekken legend Knee in the final, scooping around $45,000 worth of prize money in the process for both tournaments. Many players consider him as one of the best Dragunov players in the game along with JDCR.

Yourthatrussian’s Fight Stick Picks
After much deliberation, yourthatrussian, and myself, coach, have elucidated the best fight sticks in his collection. We have an array of magnificent devices including the HORI Rap 4, the etokki Omni, qanba crystal, the mix box, and the Victrix Sagat Pro Fs.
The first stick to discuss is the HORI RAP 4. According to russian, the HORI, being one of his first controllers was definitely a beginner stick but a door opener. It had all the important parts for a starter lever with good spring and good tension.
Regarding the etokki Omni, it has a full metal case and uses only premium buttons. Russian likes how the stick is easily mod-able and its “k” lever is much better and precise than the “j” lever, since it uses micro switches and a rubber grommet instead of a gate switch and spring.

With the mix box, he wasn’t too keen on using the directional buttons.

The qanba is high quality stick, but is in the reserves since most of his game play is with the etokki.
I also have a set of arcade sticks, including the Victrix, which I find ergonomically designed and logistically convenient with its cord organization and handles built in. Unfortunately, the Victrix appears to be out of stock.
