Rocky is big.   I am from Philly area.  So he is a MUST in everything I do or get done...

I think it looks ok but I'd lose Rocky, too.  I understand the Philly thing but he looks out of place.  I'd pick a rocky theme OR a SF theme....I live in Cleveland but don't have LeBron plastered over my cab :)  (thank goodness).  LeMame anyone? Sounds french...heh.  Le Mame.

Anyway - It looks like a standard fighter marquee, maybe resize dhalsam and blanka so they don't look so childlike.  The colors don't bother me much.  Should look nice with a good CP overlay.

yea, replace rocky with akuma... that'd look cool.  i realize the philly thing, but rocky never reminds me of arcades. he reminds me of that song "eye of the tiger", certainly something i do not want to think about.

So far some good critiques.   Though you fail to understand the Rocky thing.  That is fine.  It is something that goes beyond ANYTHING your minds can comprehend.  :)

Rocky is going to STAY.

And if I plan/hope to have EYE OF THE TIGER playing 24x7 while my arcade machine is on.   HELL YA!

I love Rocky.  Just something about him.  So that also makes this marquee special to me.  

Other than that, any other suggestions comments?

Unlike most of the other folks here, I would not get rid of Rocky.  Instead, I would lose all the Street Fighter crapola and go with a total Rocky theme.  You could call it Rockade or something like that and have the sides of the cab have Rocky and Apollo clashing with a U.S. flag backdrop or something like that.  That would be a lot more unique than just another Street Fighter themed cab IMHO.  But then, most of my arcade days were before Mortal Kombat and all of the copycats came out.  *ducks to avoid being hit by Snaaake throwing a shoe*   ;)

Keep Rocky!  Even though I'm from Northeast Ohio, I still think Rocky is majorly cool.  I agree with RacerX, I would go with a full Rocky theme.  Rocky does look a little out of place though, so I would lose the other people on the marquee before I would Rocky  ;D

Frostillicus - I didn't know you were from Cleveland, I'm sort of close to Cleveland too.  You should register on the BYOAC people finder thing(if you haven't already, I will some time when I get around to it)
