I tried the Japanese button layout and it didn't work for my American Happ buttons.  The spacing was way too much.  I went back to Lusid's original diagram and then curved them slightly.  I still prefer this spacing.

I've played on them both ways (Straight line and curved) and I don't really have an opinion anymore.  I did the straight line before, I'm doing the curved now.  Who knows what I'll do next?!

Zig-zags!  Ooh, or maybe six buttons in a circle around the joystick.

I bet they put a lot of thought into that.
There are consistent patterns in the colors for each player.
There has to be some kind of logic to it.
You don't get that far away from normal without following some kind of logic, albeit fatally flawed logic.

I'd almost give them the benefit of the doubt if it weren't for the angled joysticks.
