Question for anyone who likes Fighting Games

[zodiacjay]

I'm looking for the control layout for some domestic and import fighting games. I'm building an arcade control panel and want to make it compatible with most fighters.

If anyone can find a website (Google wasn't much help) or help me find the controls (button layout and function) of the following game series, that'd be great;

Marvel vs. Capcom
Guitly Gear
Capcom vs. SNK
Melty Blood (import)
King of Fighters
Fatal Fury
Street Fighter

MVC1

123
456

1 = Weak Punch, 2 = Medium punch, 3 = Strong Punch
4 = Weak Kick, etc etc

MVC 2
123
456
1 & 2 = Weak and Strong Punch, 3 = Assist 1
4 & 5 = Weak and Strong Kick, 6 = Assist 2

Guilty Gear
123
4 5

Forgot the controls, 5 is Dust.

King of Fighters (or most SNK Fighters)

ABCD

A = Weak Punch; B = Strong Punch;
C = Weak Kick; D = Strong Kick

This can easily be changed to:

AC
BD

This is the usual PS2/Xbox controller setup

Fatal Fury (early games)

ABC (D is not used)

A= Punch; B = Kick; C = Throw; A+B = Shift to background/foreground

Later Fatal Fury games

ABCD

A = Punch; B = Kick; C = Special; D = Shift to background/foreground

If you wish to get the most out of a built controller, you use the Street Fighter 6-button layout, or the layouts of Hori sticks on the newer consoles

1234
5678

Just adjust the buttons as you see fit.

I thought Neo-Geo 4-button converts to

AB
CD

not

AC
BD

Also when I shop for arcade controllers I accept nothing other than the 4x2 layout. It's the most versatile format there is.

Pretty sure it's

1=Punch
2=Slash
3=Heavy Slash
4=Kick
5=Dust

Really? :x

That configuration is too weird. I do remember people mapping buttons in a XX arcade around here like this:

P S D
K H

Yeah they seem to always be mapped weird, what I posted is factory default.

The GGXX machine that was on VCU had it mapped like this:

KSHD
P

Basically its:

Thumb: Punch
Index Finger: Kick
Middle Finger: Slash
Ring Finger: Heavy Slash
Pinky: Dust

And I use this configuration alot. Yeah, try for a Hori style 8 button layout to cover all fighting games. But kinda like how the Wii Hori is set up.

[dj VENOM]

Guilty Gear XX arcade layout:

KSH
P D

I like that and the neogeo (all in a row, but with A placed lower than BCD) configurations the best so I can keep my thumb and first 3 fingers placed one on each of the buttons. Since a lot of the fighters on neogeo use A & C for punches and B & D for kicks, the AC on top BD on bottom is probably the most common alternate config I've seen, although I've seen some pretty horrible button layouts on neogeo cabinets. I remember years ago seeing a whole thread on some other site with pictures of terrible MVS layouts. I can't find it now, but it was full of stuff like this (which wasn't even close to the worst one on there).



lol, how the hell would you even play on this?

[Scream Squat]

That's just hideous.

[Novasonic of /flex]

Venom's right on the GG layout, I got punch and kick mixed up but yeah what he's got is definitely right. I remember always finding it weird that punch was on that bottom row and not where kick was.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

That's weird. I've never gotten used to place one finger in each button :x

Maybe that's why I find myself more comfortable with the button config I posted (lol console-like config).
