Help me choose pushbutton colours for HRAP!

Hey … i’m starting to wish they only had one colour of buttons, because i’m driving myself insane thinking of which combination of button colours i should get when i switch to Sanwa’s. So i ask for your opinions! I’m pretty sure the following 5 are my final choices, so please vote!

Where did you do those pictures?

I wouldn’t call any of those a winner, but I voted for the top one because you seem to like gross colors, and to me, those are the grossest.

I made the pics in photoshop :slight_smile:

I have green in there cause those turbo buttons are green so if there’s no other green, they tend to look a bit out of place (and i’m not removing them as part of my mod).

Also i’m trying to go for a somewhat authentic approach; i see green and pink are the most common colours in japanese arcades, blue being there on older VF units so thats why that’s there too.
What would u suggest, i might try more if you have some ideas!

I’m just messing around dude, everyone has their own taste in sticks. For example, I like mine as utilitarian as possible, just wood, a metal top, some lexan, monochrome stick and buttons, and no embellishment. Do whatever you like most.

Hori’s selling modded sticks? Where can I buy one? Are these bootleged?

Also why is there a poll for this? It doesn’t matter how color coordinated your stick is. It still works like every other stick. Might as well get a custom stick if you’re worried about pretty colors.

No, he modified the images in photoshop to decide on his colour scheme… So, what did you actually do to do that? Just recolor the buttons and sticks? It’s pretty decent work…

go with something like this :tup:

Daz sum hot bootleg. :tup:

Last one because the first one looks hideous.

The last one.

Red, Yellow, Blue, Green.
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green.

Just my 2c.

First i got some images of Sanwa buttons, then just roughly painted a flat area of one of the colours over each of the buttons and stick. Then you set the layer blending mode to color. There’s other ways such as using a hue/saturation layer but i think the first way is easiest and quickest. Once you’ve got layers for each colour of button, add a mask to each layer and remove the colour so you can mix and match buttons.
I just think for the money i spend this’ll be a good result (why i’m not getting a fully custom one).

just use blue.

Mix and match; get a pair of diff colored buttons and swap the plungers.

Blue with a yellow plunger looks very capcom-y

Blue and yellow does look cool toodles… but a bit pricey :sad:

might as well make a rubicks cube color mod ftw
