Hand/Button Layout for Fighting Games

Easy to replicate: The distance from the center of the 'a' key, to center of key 'd' ,on my keyboard, are 1.5" apart.
I still have good arc. Excellent down leverage. Thats of course, with 3 buttons at once. 4 is possible, but its a strain.
--- Quote ---Even typing on a keyboard, my index finger naturally rests lower than my other fingers (which tend to be in line).

You Obviously didnt read everything I typed. Try angling your wrist to match your arms angle.. and as for your arms, put them at like a 40 degree angle. (elbows out) Then every digit, including the pinky, will sit at nearly the same level.
The small amount of difference is so menial, as to not even be worth mention... especially for an arcade button.

Curved > straight any day.
my hand makes a curve if I place them down in playing position, to play straight buttons I have to bend my wrist which for extended play time is uncomfortable.

Look, you can keep arguing this but you're not changing the facts for me. Whether on my computer keyboard or at an arcade, my index finger naturally rests lower than the rest of my fingers. The difference is not "so menial, as to not even be worth mention". It's actually significant, hence I find a layout with the first two arcade buttons lower than the rest to be considerably more comfortable.
Now, maybe in your case your fingers all rest in the line, who knows? That's the beauty of arcade layouts though. We each get to build our own.

Quit posting walls o' text. You should be able to get your point across in a few sentences.

Being succinct is not his forte. I think he should post a picture instead of a reply, because pictures are only worth a thousand words.
