Author Topic: The 2014 Fullsize Dedicated Voting Thread!! (Read 9368 times)

UCA · « **on:** February 01, 2015, 10:26:51 am »

Welcome to the 2014 BYOAC User Choice Awards Fullsize Dedicated category voting poll!

Each user gets one vote so pick the project that best fits the broad definition below and really captured your attention. Feel free to post why you chose a certain cabinet but don't feel obligated to reveal your vote.

These are the uprights, cockpits, V-Pins, Racers, and showcase cabs that demonstrate outstanding theme, style, balance, and execution designed to play a specific title with a very limited playlist.

Please note that we have a repeat winner in the fullsize category this year. Sjaak took home the ribbon last year for his awesome Fix-it Felix Jr. As such his Lover's in a Dangerous Space Time - which is also wholly awesome is not eligible to win so you won't see it in the poll but will see it listed below.

And now, the confirmed nominees for the 2014 BYOAC UCA Best Fullsize Dedicated:

Shrunkenmaster's Track & Field

Yotsuya's Super Spacefortress Macross

Elvis's Moon Patrol

Sjaak's Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time

Please be sure and check out the five other categories and cast your vote on each:

Thanks.

Macross all the way. The attention to detail sets this machine in a league of it's own. The inspection stickers, manual bag, and custom made back door sheet are exactly what I'm talking about. Not to mention, yotsuya did an excellent job achieving his vision while staying within the original scope of his plan to make this look like a kit game. If this doesn't get you chuffed, I don't know what will...

Poll seems to be missing a voting option for sjaaks Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time cabinet !

That said all are great builds but will have to go for the Moon Patrol build - such a great example of a classic build !

Any bets on how many times I'll have to repost this?

Macross FTW.

Your love for that "classic" arcade look shows in this.

Details level: Pro.

I no rite?

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! For those of you attending ZapCon 2015, I will be taking this machine there again for the community to enjoy. I actually made friends last year with people who played the game. It's been a fun ride.

When it comes to TBBT I have no problem choosing. Melissa Rauch I choose you!

DaveMMR · « **Reply #14 on:** February 02, 2015, 11:10:18 am »

Hey, I haven't said anything in a while...

But I voted for Yotsuya's Super Spacefortress Macross because I'm partial to the Centipede-styled cabinets. Otherwise, really hard to choose.

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2015, 11:32:40 am »

That moon patrol makes me want to play moon patrol. Like a lot. But it's no Macross. I love that Macross build. It's the driving force that made me want to build a deticated cab. Little details pushed it over the edge. I also couldn't find the button to vote for Melissa Rauch.

jdbailey1206 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2015, 02:28:56 pm »

Found the Melissa vote button

Nope. Wait. Thats just Melissa and Kaley Cuoco being sexy and what not.

yotsuya · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2015, 03:49:15 pm »

Is Elisha Cuthbert in the mix? May as well throw in a Canadian hottie.

She's from Calgary you know, and I wouldn't touch her with a yours now that she's been with Dion. He was a Red Deer Rebel in the WHL. My Ex was best friends with one of the "Puck Bunnies" that got around the team. Dion may or may not have something you can't give back. Sad. Well, that and she was also with Sean Avery. Just, I'll let the other hockey guys in the crowd do the math on this.

I'm just happy sitting back and watching. Yot don't judge.

opt2not · « **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2015, 04:02:03 am »

Voted for the boring cab.

But all were pretty good. Big respect points for that Moon Patrol, clean respectful repro, and especially being a gift for a buddy!

Macross is different and stands out to me because Yots envisioned a cabinet for a game that didn't have a dedicated one, and delivered. Also with a few added mini details that really sold the whole theme well. I would have liked more CP detail in the artwork, but that's more of a nitpick'y personal preference, I like busier looking CP Art. But still the whole cabinet was really well executed and my top pick!

Thanks. I'm humbled, especially since your hibernating (it's not dead) AlphaOne was the inspiration for my cab.

I actually DID make a detailed CP, but I wanted to keep it kit-authentic so I passed. HaRuMaN and I at one time even discussed making acrylic tabs for the fire and bomb buttons, like you'd see on some kits, but ran out of time.

jdbailey1206 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 04, 2015, 12:03:40 pm »

I will say this. Im bummed I cant play some of these cabs. Be they dedicated or not. Its still nice to to get a full run down of them though. Anyway.....Back to Eliza Dushku!

Oops. I meant to say "Now back to Elisha Cuthbert." Oh well. Im not fixing that wonderful mistake.

Cheers for all the kind words on my build. I had a blast doing it, but the best part was giving it away to a good friend.

Makes me happy to know folks enjoyed my write up, too.

Sledge · « **Reply #31 on:** February 08, 2015, 04:32:49 am »

Macross, while ok, just looks like someone whacked a poster on the side of it...
Where as Moon patrol just shouts quality to me...
So my vote goes to Moon Patrol!

But yeah, there's clearly a top 2 in this category.

yotsuya · « **Reply #33 on:** February 08, 2015, 12:57:26 pm »

It would have been cheaper on my pocketbook if I were to simply have "whacked a poster" on the side. All that side art was custom die cut by the awesome Lucian045 per my "kit game" designs (especially the cockpit stencil on the bottom, which, as far as I know, isn't available on any poster).

Boring cabinet is Boring.

I no rite? All the kit games back in the day came with full size artwork and a full gallon of paint that wasn't black, which ops loving took the time to carefully apply, removing all traces of the previous game. If it took a week of the machine being off the street not earning, so be it.

When the biggest complaint against the cab is one of its best features (and intent) , you know you done good.

Not knocking sledge's pick the moon patrol is pretty awesome too
