Title: Maximum number of buttons per player for two-player CP?
Post by: Diewrecked on July 08, 2008, 12:17:22 pm

Hi guys

Subject line says it all. I am trying to design a control panel for two players to be as verstile as possible. I am doing it with six buttons per player in mind but in reality am i EVER going to need that many? What games used six buttons per player? Defender (IIRC) had five. But what about fighting games (Street Fighter et al)? I honestly can't remember. I'll happily sacrifice a button or two to free up space if it'll never get used but if it will then I'll keep it.

Many thanks in advance everyone

mainly fighting games require 6 buttons.   street fighter, needs 6, mortal kombat 3 needs 6, and there are many others.  you can do an advanced search on MAWS for all games that require 6 buttons, there is quite a list.
