Worst MVS button layout?

Briggs · Apr 16, 2002

Be sure to scroll down to see the closeup of the buttons:

Ok, so it's not the layout of the buttons, but the buttons themselves.

Those buttons are butt ugly. Not too mention the cab itself. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

It looks like someone busted up one of those perfectly good bar top quiz games, or at least one of those coffee dispensers we have at my school.

For a minute I was expecting to see them in the rectangular Rival Schools/Tekken style layout (MY preferred one, laugh if you want), seeing as how the classic single-line layout is so much more common and therefore more popular...but Gods, one whole button missing?!

Somebody do the proper thing and shoot it and put it out of its misory. I swear Briggs you have a nose for finding the most horrifying pictures of arcade games.

You're not the only one who prefers that layout. ^_~

Want me to take a picture of the cab converted to a two slot that has only two button holes for each side, and uses one of those fricking 3 piece pie buttons for the first one?

Briggs · Apr 17, 2002

Of course I do. Send it on, I may start a "worst conversion" page or something.

Although, hideous conversion is better than no cab at all.

That made my laugh out loud. That almost never happens.

Oh.......I gotta see this one......My favorite one was the panel had 3 buttons on one side in some odd fucking shape, maybe a retarded trapazoid missing a leg, and the other side had 1 button. Came with a fighting game that used 4 buttons....that was funny.......actually more like sad.....

Dont laugh to hard it may belong to a person with cripled or deformed hands. However it does make me want to gamble a little. Wheres my blue chips?! <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[LOL]" />

Good God....

well the worst LAYOUT I have ever had the displeasure of having to use, is the D A B C one all the HK candy cabinets around here use. I guess if you're used to it it's fine, but over 10 years of being used to A B C D is hard to break.

Thats pretty bad ,

but I've seen a Street fighter conversion that had 2 pie buttons for each player ,

Loopz · Apr 18, 2002

At a Sears (!) arcade ten years ago, there were a (SamShoEngrish) man whose skill was ultimate. Because of his bloody life, it is no accident he were involved in building a Street Fighter 2 machine with ONE joystick and all 6 buttons placed AROUND THE FUCKIN' STICK!

I saw one like that once, too. Kept pinching myself, hoping to wake up.

Neo Bomber Man · Apr 18, 2002

I remember playing Street Fighter II on the boat to the Netherlands, and it only had 3 buttons per player!

kernow · Apr 18, 2002

played metal slug in my local union, the buttons are as so:

C
B A

its not the worst.. but its pretty fucking dumb

You should definitely set up a page like that. If you do not, I probably will.

I would be inclined to argue that point, after some of the machines I have seen.

What a shit! PAchinko/gambling machine buttons? Oh my gosh!
No fourth button???? Man, nobody will buy this stupidass *cab* :rolleyes:

<edit> The worst button layout I have seen, was a Last Blade cab, with buttons placed like this:

A
...^.........C..B
<Stick>....D..Start
...V

That's what I call "Who's the fucking idiot that ... -censured-"
