anyone else just feel "not at home" on the other side of the cab? since its my house, my games, i'm always on the player 1 side. but one of my sticks shit out on one of my cabs and i've been playing on the player 2 side. its like a totally different world.

i sometimes wonder if im being mean to my friends.:crying:

I can play both sides about the same. Which is to say I can lose just as bad on the 2p side :p
I got used to playing on the second player side since I often play fighting games when I hang out with friends. I 'm not good at doing :360: motions on 2p side but every other motion is fine.

I prefer the 2p side when playing fighters. Otherwise it feels weird :P

P2 is better on certain cabs...

Cuz sometimes my hand hits the side of the cab with P1.

If you feel this way, then you're not very good at fighters. Not trying to be rude, but if facing a certain way fucks you up that much? Wow.... what hope is there when you play someone badass if simply facing left is a challenge in of itself?

I play both ways when I fire up my cabs, except the games that simply will not let me (like playing Super Turbo 1 player, you HAVE to be on the left side).

its not the controls that give me a problem.

its just a general disorientation from being on the other side of the thing.

i can play fine it just feels different.

Test Menu--->System Configuration--->Start Mode = On

Yeah, it annoyed the hell out of me too until I messed with that. Now all is well :)
