Kajoq thats exactly what I think i'll do, thanks for the info. What is the thickness of the plexi you used? I heard 3mm is a good thickness from others, whats are you useing, and how do you find it?

Or so you say. I've yet to meet the person who can beat me consistently on SFII, or even a fair percentage of the time (and I've played a lot of different people since '91, especially during its heyday from '91 to '94 or so at Spaceport in Bangor). I'm sure that tournament-level players could beat me, but it's going to take more than what you describe as a "decent player" before I'll get "torn up", (lol). I expect from your post that you consider yourself to be a "decent player". If you're ever in Maine, stop by—I have a machine right here.

Nothing pleases me more in a game of SFII than to see the opponent using the weaker attacks. That gives me a larger margin for error, because when they do connect, it doesn't do as much damage.

Edit: In the previous post I meant CPS-1 hardware, not CPS-2. The SFII's that I prefer are World Warrior and Champion Edition.

Yeah helpmebuild - 3mm plexi is what I used.  To get the joystick height proper, You need to  do some routing for the joystick hole in the MDF, but you just drill regular holes in the plexi.  Try to find a 30mm holesaw if you can - you might have to order it online.  I used a 1 1/8" one which is ~28.5mm and filed out each hole a bit, and it was sort of a pain.

Maxim - Hit me up on AIM sometime and we can play online in MAME.  I don't really play World Warrior or CE, I'm more of an ST player myself (have the board, and its the only one really played in tournies any more)  Theres so much more to street fighter than trying to mash away on RH sweeps and standing fierces....

Cool man so from my understanding you just drilled larger holes in the MDF so the bottons can just slide into there but cut the plexi holes at 30mm to have them snap in and fit perfectly?

I'm not interested in playing with lag (i.e., online play) nor with playing with a gamepad (i.e. online play) and I'm not even sure what you mean by "ST" (Super Street Fighter II Turbo?), and I don't care what is fashionable at tournaments these days. I play games I like, and as far as Street Fighter goes, I like SFII:WW and SFII:CE.

I don't "mash away" on any game. Every button press or joystick movement is done for a specific reason. Robert Mruczek described my style of play as "very methodical, almost textbook approach" after viewing my SPO tape, and that is how I play any video game that I'm good at. This is quite the opposite of "mashing away".

Keep in mind that SFII:WW and CE do not have any cheap automated combination attacks that dole out guaranteed damage even if the opponent blocks, so you would have to figure out how to connect on me consistently...manually. You might know something that the countless other people I've played since this game was a new release, don't know, but I'd be surprised.

And what exactly is an "RH"?
