I don't really care what YOU want to play it with.
I'm just trying to keep you from leading someone else astray.
They'll see your comment about how it works fine for you, and think it will work fine for them as well.
I never once said I wanted to play it with 8-ways, I said I play it on two 8-ways currently and it's fine for me...
It wasn't what you were saying that bothered me, it was the uncouth way you were saying it...
You need to remember that a lot of replies to "your" questions will be directed at others coming along behind you, not necessarily at YOU.
I agree...though, you can make comments without coming off rude...I even asked someone else to read your post, just to make sure it wasn't just the way I was taking it...
You asked for suggestions about a Karate Champ CP.
I never once asked about a KC CP...I wanted to know about the placement of joysticks on a 4 player CP, so that I could use the 1&2, 3&4 to play 2player KC...
My suggestion is get four 4-way Wicos, and build it a separate CP.
It will flat suck with anything else.
Now you're making a suggestion...before you implied I was stupid, and said KC has to have 4-ways to play properly...
As to how I can make statements about your knowledge, I've got 20 years of experience with the game, and your "knowledge" is contrary to everything I've experienced.
I'm in my mid 30's...it "is" possible that I've played the game just as much as you have...just because you have experiences with something, doesn't mean that other people can't have different ones that are still correct or acceptable...
That makes me question your experiences.
You didn't question anything...you flat out said I was wrong, and that I just thought I was fine with it...
Have you ever played the game in a dedicated cab, or just in MAME?
Quite a few times actually...
If so, have you played it RECENTLY in a dedicated cab?
Not in about a year, but that's irrelevant...
I can't believe that you would say that it "plays fine" with 8-ways, if you had ever played it with 4-ways.
I have played it with 4-ways, and I said I wasn't worried about it with 8-ways...
