I recently tested the Octopus Fight Stick, along with the Brawler64 and D6 from Retro Fighters...and before that, I'd tested 8Bitdo's wireless Neo Geo CD style controller. While I have the ability to test lag and detect major flaws, I'm not a pro gamer and can't push these to their limits. So, I sent them all to Beast, as he's both a pro-level gamer and uses specific test methods to gauge how each perform against the originals, or other options.  This is a podcast-style discussion about all four and I think Beast did an excellent job adding perspective for each, both as a pro gamer and just as someone who's good at explaining some of the more technical stuff to the casual gamer. Here's affiliate links to everything discussed:Octopus Fight Stick: https://retrorgb.link/octopusConsole Adapter Cables:  https://retrorgb.link/octopuscableAlternative Plates:  https://retrorgb.link/octopusplatesKraken Spinner: https://retrorgb.link/octopuskrakenBrawler64 Gold: https://retrorgb.link/brawler64goldbtBrawler64 (Other Colors): https://retrorgb.link/brawler64btBrawler64 (Other Colors, Amazon): https://amzn.to/4iIXolw8Bitdo Neo Geo CD: https://amzn.to/3Nzvs62D6 Controller: https://retrorgb.link/retrofightersd6D6 (Amazon):  https://amzn.to/3SevS4nSanwa JLX: https://focusattack.com/sanwa-jlx-tp-8yt-joystick/Sanwa Pro Modding Kit: https://arcadeshock.com/products/sanwa-denshi-jlf-pro-modding-kitShin-Etsu Grease: https://focusattack.com/fa-dab-20-ounce-shin-etsu-silicone-grease-vial/Octopus User Guide:  https://trfightstick.com/so/ccPP9lG2aYou can find Beast everywhere at "beast1x5":https://www.twitch.tv/beast1x5https://bsky.app/profile/beast1x5.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/beast1x5/https://www.youtube.com/user/beast1x5https://twitter.com/beast1x5https://www.facebook.com/DJBeAsTNyC/Also, if you'd like to hear more from Beast, check out a previous podcast we did and see him in action in the Neo Geo MVS-X Review: https://youtu.be/xCBm9q73hhk / https://youtu.be/J8cWivOhYhAPlease consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.htmlT-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.htmlAll equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb
