4 players and angled sticks

OK man, first of all, check here:

There is no up or side ways when mounting.  I'm sure that when you kick your game on, Up is in relation to the SFII buttons.  Right?  Even if it is not a 45 degree mount (which it looks like it might be, but hard to tell), it's 90 degree, off of what you are saying.

Do you think if you were playing the SS Quad, up would actually be left of the buttons?

EDIT:  I'm only pointing out the SS cp.  I never said anything about simpsons or any other game, other than Trog.  What is your point?  Have you played the Quad?  Maybe you'd get use to it?  Then again, if that Tekken was so bad, maybe not.  To each his own.

CheffoJeffo:

Does anybody have a picture of a SS quad that actually shows the mounting ? Since there are no visible bolt holes you can't tell if the sticks are mounted at an angle (just because the buttons are doesn't mean the sticks are).

Cheers.

I'm not sure the general consensus was ever to have P3 and P4 angled but I could be wrong.  I'm another that prefers the ++++ approach.  Having built a 4 player we had no problem with any game in that configuration.  And we could play 2 player Smash TV  ;D
I'd say make a mockup and test yourself.  That's the best way to do it, it's your cabinet, you need to be happy with it.  Once you have your CP together, it's not fun to dismantle later.

Angled or not, my point is this.  Up is NOT towards the screen.  So in reality, you are playing at an angle.  We just don't know if it's 45 or 90 degrees.  You see?  If you are unable to handle playing games with the joystick pointing in any direction but up toward the screen, you are screwed.

Why? This whole thread has basically been about the fact that almost every 4 player game ever was laid out where up WAS toward the screen.
