Avoiding a Frankenpanel...
mytymaus007:
all the time wsted blogging about your cab you coud of just worked extra hours and bought a real cab for each game. :laugh2:

Aside from games that need two joysticks, I can't see how angled sticks can affect game play. Like Donkbaca said, people put the stick towards the screen.... which is how the sticks are typically angled. Imagine a four player cab with all four players lined up in a row. Absurd, I say! Not aesthetically pleasing either, some kind of giant block mothership looking CP. Unless you are playing an angled set, specifically at an angle to the actual controller (parallel to the screen instead of in the angled cp location, like playing player 3, while in a player one spot... which is stupid, and by association makes you stupid.) then the angle really shouldn't be a factor. People didn't seem to have a problem playing gauntlet legends. Or am I mistaken in what this conversation is about?
Now, two stick games like smash TV, yes. Way yes. Difficult with an angled stick for two players. Perhaps impossible for a guest to get a hang of it in limited time (and why would they if there are so many other games to play). A single person, or two (like a roommate, I won't say wife because I'll go out on a limb and state that no wives like smash TV) could get the hang of it, but not a guest.

Sounds pretty spot on to me.

I think you might be. Folks are talking about angle in reference to the twisting of the joystick base about the center axis of the shaft. Gauntlet Legends is a good example of how, even though the buttons are angled to the player, the stick is not.
+1 for keeping left and right parallel to the screen face.

I'm actually kinda surprised that it has been such a long time since this topic has come up (as evidenced by my reference to Paige).
