What do you think of my custom Street Fighter II: CE MAME Pedestal?

 Well, I think I know what that button layout site did... 

 I believe they scanned a Streetfighter button template, and thought that the circles represented the outside diameter of the buttons.   Instead, the circles represent the exact diameter of the hole-saw needed to drill into the CP, for the button to fit. 

 The buttons outside edge LIP rest well beyond that circle template diameter... and so in the end... each buttons outside diameter lip, will be about 2mm away from each other... rather than a half inch.  >.<


 I believe you should have then rework out CP... especially considering the playability issues.   Its not easy to play a game with angles sticks.  Even the best gamers would have difficulty in controlling a game like that.

 
 As for the sheer size of the pedestal... that doesnt phase me.  Thats mere cosmetic opinion.   You will have more elbow room, which is always a good thing... especially if your friends are not rail thin 8yr olds.

 Playability issues are key though.    Unlike Mellonheadko, I dont say these things to insult.  These are just factual design characteristics, proven over years of development and play testing, in the Arcades.   The very few examples where these logical expressions were ignored & negated.. caused a lot of earnings problems.    Factory idiocy was usually 'fixed' by Ops as the end result.

Judges?





points for originality, slight deduction for it being such a stretch.
I enjoy the fact I literally agree with you point for point on a topic and you still wanna be on the other side of the debate  :cheers:
FYI, Malenko is Russian slang for small package (the wrestling move) so Im "implying" I have a tiny penis. Dunno if the nick requires editing to be more insulting. Thanks for not making it Xuushy though, and curses to Saint for making Xiaou2 get changed to your nick via language filter. But its brilliant too.

Ive thought of some better ones, feel free to use em : Ma-stanko, Malenk-hoe, even the OBVIOUS FEMALEnko (FEMalenko).



to OP, I may not have ran an arcade for 77 hours a week , 53 weeks a year for 6 years but I know you should ask the "builders" to redo the top.  Id start with you redoing to the art to reflect a better layout. Also, I didnt say what I said how I said to insult you. He likes to imply ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- like that , if you read what I posted, I never insulted you. The pedetable is over sized, and you are paying too much. I dont see how thats insulting

Enjoy, and a belated welcome to the forum! :cheers:

I don't know what to do.  I can't send them this thread and be like, "HERE, SEE!"

Now something's wrong with the art?  What's wrong with the art?  It's lifted right from the SF II Bezel design. 

Will the buttons being far apart effect game play?  I get there's a little more space between buttons, but hitting all three at once, will that be problematic? 

Could someone write me a concise and professional assessment of what's wrong with this control panel?  Something I could forward on to them?  I would really appreciate it.  Because you guys are right, if things are really wrong and problematic and going to make gameplay not fun, I'm not sure it makes sense to pay what I'm paying. 

So bummed out these issues happened.  I'm not as concerned about the 45 angle as the buttons.  I got this primarily to play street fighter and if that's going to play awkward now, I need to know.  What do you guys think?
