Do you have a button layout that can be printed? I like the look of yours.

I got my layout from this site (I just tweaked it a little):

Fighting gamers almost exclusively use curved these days when building their own sticks and cabs.
Straight is only used to be more authentic to what used to be in arcades.
Once you play on a curved layout for a few minutes it becomes natural, and I don't think you would have any problems playing the games you mentioned.

I usually bring the center of the 6 buttons (3/5) up about 1/2 from the first buttons (1/4) and the third buttons (3/6) up 1/4", just feels more natural.. otherwise they stay on the same line from the sticks.

I am going with the 7 button curved layout because it feels more comfortable to me than straight. I first made a model of my cabinet and cp in sketchup and that seemed to look right, but to be sure I cut holes in a mailing box and placed my buttons and joystick in it and it felt right to me. I was wondering as you are about the unique layouts for all the games but I figured for the most "compatibility" and comfort this layout would do for me. I am also using leds to light only the buttons that are used in each game to help other people catch on quicker but I will see how that goes. :)

My fingers fit perfect. ;D
