my question is why 8 buttons? MKX only requires 5 to play. also am i the only one who noticed the sticks on the MKX cabinet given away to the winner of the tourny is set for a left hand player. speakers almost look small enough to where you could put them all below the marquee in there normal spot. if not i would put the center and two front speakers there and put the two surround speakers below the CP
There have been other discussions about 8 buttons, and i'll leave it with this comment. If you or anyone else played with 5 buttons vs. 8 buttons on an MKX arcade, you would lose 99% of the time the 1% of victories would be due to hell freezing over. The 8 buttons are so i dont have to contort my fingers the press multibutton combinations to pull off a simple move. If you've played the game seriously you know what im talking about.
Go look at any pro-stick for this game, it will not just have 5 buttons. The console stick uses 8, and my demo CP has 8 and it plays identical to the PS4 and console sticks, thats what im looking for.
I noticed that too about the tourney sticks, i'm left handed, and I cant play like that, very odd.
They aren't that small they all won't fit in that space, they need some sort of seperation. You mean in the CP firing up or down?
I imagine the client is insisting on the 5.1.
Yes sir, yes i am.....
Nobody likes the CP idea huh, deep rebate with steel mesh, no plexi?
I must have missed that this was your personal cabinet. I thought it was another commission and the question of "why" was moot. In that case I agree that 5.1 is overkill. Having said that if you are really wanting a wall of sound I do like the idea of putting some speakers in the CP. That would get a lot of sound coming right at you.
I guess i am a sound freak, i couldnt find a good 2.1 setup for less than 100.00 or so that didnt sound like ass. It was either crappy bass or the speakers sound like an AM radio.
Keep in mind Blacks Magic has $3000 car stereo in it (repurposed from my younger days), but that doubles as jukebox too. I tried out 4 different 2.1 setups and took them all back. This is a fun build, plus i really like the game.
So the goal isnt to stay withing kill or over kill specs, this is a not the norm build i agree.
I think i'm going with the CP speakers fellas, i did a mock-up last night and it looked ok....
This is the look i'm going for from Martijn pinball build.
