I'm fairly confident, I'm basing it from my memory and also some cabinet picutres I've found, but mostly on this (and other games):

I came to the conclusion that you were right also.  Cabinet pictures can have the buttons swapped around, but the flyers were done by SNK, so they should be correct.  It's just weird that bstars2 was wrong in the game.

Better to find out now than later, though.

It's only going to be a single player, but I was thinking I wanted to be able to play fighters against the computer.  I am now debating on weather or not I really want to have that many buttons and I'm considering a neo-geo type setup.  Isn't it only like 1% of games that use more than 4 buttons anyway?  I realy like the red yellow green blue scheme though, so either way I'll probably go with that, thanks Redbox.

As for the orientation of the monitor, I was originally planning on going with a rotating monitor to satisfy both types of games, but due to available monitor not having a degauss button and space issues I'm ditching the rotating monitor.  As for why I decided to go with horizontal, the cab will also have console roms and such on it and I'd rather not have to do a butload of configuration.

I've been working on a web page that takes the information from the SortInfo program and lets you pull statistics out of it.  Here's a list of the games that use more than 4 buttons:

http://jstookey.com/arcade/sortinfo/index.php?num_switches=1&do_search=1&switch0=buttons&operator0=%3E&switchvalue0=4

That's a total of 244 out of 2679 games (about 11%).  However, most of the games are fighters, quiz games, or wouldn't play properly anyway (beatmania).
Rawker:
