Title: Looking for cabinet plans, Street Fighter 2 (or MK, MKII, any other 5+ button)
Post by: Mattiekrome on February 11, 2007, 11:17:49 pm
Hi all, noob here.  I did a search for some Street Fighter II plans (both here and Google) and didnt find anything useful.  I am planning on building a cab in the coming months, and am leaning towards something in the SFII "style".  Main reason I'm looking for SFII is because of the size.  I am hoping it will be narrow enough to fit through standard doorways, and it also has the 6 button CP on it, not to mention its really where arcade gaming "took shape" for me, so it has some nostalgic reasoning behind it as well.  I like the fact that the CP is within the walls of the cab, or else the doorway might be an issue.  I will also be adding a dedicated 4 way stick on top of the standing SFII 6-button CP concept.  I haven't researched it too much, but I was thinking that an MK / MK2 cab might have similar dimensions as a SFII cab, not sure though).  Anyways, if someone here could point me in the right direction, I'd be very greatful  :cheers:

And regarding the CP, I'm thinking it will have to have a little more depth to accomodate a one player 4 way stick.  I'm planning on adding it to the upper left of the P-one 8 way, and then using the 8 way buttons with it...  Anyone had any problems using this setup in the past?  Thanks all!

I don't have any plans or anything, but one thing you can try that I did, which I'm very happy with... when doing the SFII control panel, shift the middle buttons up about a half inch to an inch (so they're in an arch).  This way it lines up for MK style, with the block button in the middle.  Then I added the RUN bottun, down and left from the Low Punch.

A lot of people just do it street fighter style, using one of the middle buttons for MK3's run button, but it sucks, it makes playing MK a pain in the balls.

Anyway, I'll try to take a picture and post it because my description probably sucks.

Is it possible to make a removable CP and just put in the MK style one when you like.  I was also trying to setup a MK cab, but didn't like how the 2 row of three buttons felt when trying to use the block button.  I kept missing it, but if I do setup a 5 button plan with a run I will not be able ot play other good games.

Unfortunately, that (great!)site doesn't seem to have any SF plans, and only has the original MK plans without the run button.  I would be interested in any SF2 version plans as well if someone has them.
