There should be a sticky warning people about him.

Picture attached.

Heya Malenko,
You may have some issues with that layout... most specifically, the right side players joystick arm... well his elbow will be infringing on the left side players button arms elbow. Unless both parties are willing to do an extended arm elbow tuck...

I'll only acknowledge this because you appear to be sincere and trying to be helpful. The sticks are within an inch vertically of where they were located on NBA Jam/NFL Blitz/NHL Open Ice/etc . On the Midway sports games, player 1 was the highest up, then each stick went down a little as you went to the right, with the 4th player being the lowest. Horizontally they are exactly the same. Ive played as player 4 on all those games at one time or another without any issue, so Im sure they'll be just fine. Typically (at least in my experiences) the 1 and 4 players don't stand directly in front of the machine, but they stand at more of an angle. Player 4s buttons were moved down a bit (about 1.5") for comforts sake. God bless cardboard mock ups.
