What’s your opinion on this? I notice a lot of people go for 3x buttons on the right, but with all the sticks I’ve used the default setting had the 3x buttons on the left.
What setups do most arcades use?
Arcades are six button layouts. 3x buttons are only on console/PC.
Also, please read the stickies before asking questions.
Note: If you have newbie arcade stick related questions, please post them in this thread! Please post more advanced questions in Tech Talk!
In the minds of many, arcade sticks and fighting games go hand-in-hand. Naturally, many players who are new to the fighting game community find they have many questions regarding Arcade sticks. Be it that the Newbie Saikyo Dojo is intended to help new players get a knowledge foothold in the community, it seems fitting that many common questions can be addre…
What is the standard button layout? [009]
Before listing the standard layouts, I want to strongly encourage you to use them, particularly if you are playing on stick. When I comes to this sort of thing, do not try to convince yourself that you are a unique snowflake. Having an odd button layout can become a hindrance. If nothing else, you always end up being “that guy who has to change his buttons around before he plays” at casuals. No one really likes that guy.
If your stick is wired in a non-default manner, we forgive you. However, seriously consider getting that looked at.
The standard arcade Street Fighter button layout is as follows:
Many home arcade sticks have two additional buttons, which are generally mapped to 3xPunch and 3xKick (IE, all punches or kicks simultaneously). The default Madcatz TE layout and HRAP layout has the far right 2 buttons as the “3x” buttons, but some players prefer the “3x” buttons on the left. The Madcatz TE Marvel Edition is wired so the “3x” buttons are on the left.

I did read that sticky, it didn’t answer the question. All it says it some sticks have them on the left, some sticks have them on the right, not which one I can expect to be using in a situation where I won’t be playing with my own stick such as in an arcade. Thanks for clearing that up.
it actually says pretty clearly that the default madcatz layout has the x3 buttons on the right
it also says pretty clearly that arcade is only six button
If that wasn’t clear to you from reading it, how could it be changed to be clearer?
