Quarter-circle, half-circle and full 360 motions no longer take effort or feel unnatural after installing a Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Gate into your TE or Hori/Sanwa JLF setup. A full 8 corners allows for smoother and more responsive motions for fireball, dragon-uppercut and spinning piledriver attacks. Those investing their time in wrestling chars such as Zangief or Shoto chars such as Ryu, Ken, Sakura, Akuma, and Dan(!), deserve to swap out their existing 4-way gate for this one.
The Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Gate is compatible with the Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT Joystick and Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK Joystick (No Plate Installed).
So I am new to the competitive aspect of Fighting games and I wanted my inputs to be as precise as possible, so if you want to know exactly where your input is on a stick than get an octo gate, most use square and hey if that works for you cool but for me, those extra gates make it the only way to go for me.

Recently threw two of these restrictor plates and two 4lb springs in my Arcade 1up MK2 cabinet and the feel of the clone sanwa sticks is night and day. Huge improvement. Smoother motion and more control. I can now pull off spacial moves with no effort. I highly recommend these restrictor plates. Unknown on Aug 24th 2019
This is a great mod for someone who wants a more natural/smooth motion input than the stock 4 way restrictor. I can now do circular motions easier without banging into the verticle sidewalls of a 4 way restrictor. Unknown on May 21st 2019
Made a massive change to my accuracy for inputs on DBFZ! Highly recommend Unknown on Apr 4th 2019
Super easy to install and it works just right. Conner on Feb 4th 2019

It’s an octagonal restrictor gate and it octagonally restricts your stick I mean what more can you ask for. John D. on Sep 4th 2018
Works perfect, makes circular move way easier Unknown on Aug 17th 2018
After finally picking fighting games up again after many years of being inactive I bought a new stick.. I couldn't pull off any combos or special moves with much, if any reliability. :(
I came to remember that I had an octagonal gate on my prior stick. So I eagerly bought this and replaced that pesky, dirty, unloved standard square gate!
- Not to worry, I threw it directly into the trash.. Because thats what square gates are. Trash.
Popped this puppy right on and, Here. We. Go.
I am now, again. A top tier player.. 12-20 hit combos, throwing the stick into the air, doing a 360, catching it and directly linking into a critical art is done effortlessly without much thought!
A must buy for anyone taking fighting games seriously. 10/10 (Smash players don't count)
See y'all at EVO 2018 M. Obscure on Jun 22nd 2018
This is the first in a series of upgrades for my Mayflash F300, I wanted to test the waters with Focusattack.com, I am not disappointed. The gate was so easy to install and it fit perfectly. Plugged the Mayflash in and it made a huge difference in my high scores. Very happy with this purchase. Buying my Sanwa replacement buttons next week. Thank you Focusattack.com and Sanwa.
