Title: Fighting game key mapping
Post by: jlfreund on January 28, 2007, 10:12:49 pm

Hi, I never played the fighting games, but I'm trying to setup my Fighting submenu and don't know what the keys should be.

I have 6 buttons per player and I think most of the fighting games I have let you map 6 buttons, but I don't know:

- what the order is: ie,
   B1 B2 B3
   --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- B5 B6?
- Do all fighting games use pretty much the same mapping?

Thanks,
Jason

Yes that is correct

No that is not correct.  All capcom games are layed out this way.  All other fighting games have unique layouts based on the company and the individual series.  Mame has gotten to a point to where there are more non capcom games than capcom ones. 

Translation:  Setting up fighters is a pain in the butt.  :)
