Im using switchable 8 way. I will have 4 way on the cocktail ends and 8 way on the third panel for both players. I guess I will add 4 buttons on the end panels then. Thanks guys

I say go with 3 buttons to cover vertical shmups.

Correct me if I'm wrong but also, don't the metal slug games use 3 buttons?

...and while you posted that, I was going to add a list of all the 4 button, cocktail, vertical games. (This is ignoring all the controls, only looking at buttons.)
This is also from mame 135, so YMMV.  Clones removed from this list.

D-Day (Jaleco set 1)
Image Fight (revision A, Japan)
Panic Road
Panther
Pinball Action (set 1)
Romar Triv
Speed Ball
Super Triv
Trivia Master (set 1)
Vanguard (SNK)


yawn.   IMO, 4 buttons just isn't worth it.
