How wide for a streetfighter 2 panel?
« on: September 18, 2013, 02:34:11 pm »

I've been planning my swappable panels at 24" wide. That's 24" between the sides of the cabinet, which stick up about 1/4" proud of the panel surface at the sides.

Is that OK for 2 players playing Streetfighter?  I'm not keen on going wider but if I have to.

Well the actual dedicated Street Fighter 2 machines had panels a fraction of an inch narrower than that so you should be just fine.

Thanks. I can now rest easy with at least one aspect of my design.
