| Should I make my arcade stick in the style of Mortal Kombat? |

Just my palms really. Maybe a bit on the left hand on the side as you mentioned, but only on the joystick side. I don't think it'll be a big issue. |

For anyone reading who doesn't know the difference, SF is 6 buttons, 3 on 2 rows like this: () () () () () () While MK is like this (correct me if I'm wrong it's been a while): () () () () () Block is the middle button, the rest are punch and kick buttons. It is actually a sort of neat idea, but I feel it doesn't work for very many games, where as 6 buttons on 2 rows works on most games, especially fighters. If you also want to play neo-geo games, consider putting in another button on the SF layout, this has been talked to death and most people end up doing it. Like this: () () () () () () () <- Extra button here so you have the 4 button neo-geo layout. This setup is IMO the most flexible, the only downside is there are enough buttons that some guests will always ask what buttons they need to use for each game and the extra buttons get in the way of button masher games like track and field. --- End quote --- You're right it is probably the best arcade setup. Definately what I'm going to do on my personal arcade machine. This one I mean () () () () () () () <- Extra button here so you have the 4 button neo-geo layout. Probably not going to do any slant or stagger though.. does anyone have a slant or stagger? |

Should I change it to have the angled buttons? --- End quote --- Weird that you post this! This is probably what I'm going to go with as far as a CP on my arcade machine. Not sure about the trackball. How much can you get a decent trackball for nowdays? |

Anyway, as far as an actual upright cabinet, I don't think there is any question that the standard 6 button street fighter layout with the NeoGeo button is the best layout as far as my home/360 arcade stick, I'm surprised I didn't think of it before but I'll just make two top panels, one in each formation. I just hope that removing it won't screw the solder joints up too much. Or maybe I should use quick disconnects huh? |

I always thought the MK layout sucked even for MK! Only giants with big hands could use it effectively. |
