Holy crap, another 4 player CP plan

True, but they didn't have control panels that were shaped with 45 degee angles either. And that's why there is the debate.

All things considered though, its not really on a 45 degree angle. Most CPs here are angled more for aesthetics than control placement. Like the original poster, he made the angle so that people weren't jamming their stomach into the point, but it doesnt really affect teh control placement. He could jsut as easily have made a rectangular CP with teh same layout.. and he could angle or not angle the joys regardless of CP shape.
And for the record, some games such as the 6player Xmen cab and some showcase cabs I've seen DO have a control panel with angled edges... and they still dont' angle the joysticks.
It's personal preference like so many have said... but if you are using the industry as a reference, the angle on the CP makes no difference... joysticks face up towards the monitor.

I guess that works for gauntlet but this positioning would be pretty freaky for a fighting game or most other games for that matter

but the important thing is that it'd work just fine for most if not all 4player games. Yeah, you wouldn't wanna play Street Fighter with it... but thats a 2p game anyway.
