Sega button layout vs Vewlix layout

[eltrouble]

For me both layouts suck. There are not the “improved” ergonomically layouts, they are designed to keep the ellbow of the player 1 at his site to let room for player 2 (By shifting the bottom row to the left), the player 2 (astro city)has the “improved” ergonimically layout.
I also prefer the hori transition layout much more over both (HRAP1)

If you use the right side of the buttons, it’s fine, but the layout for the left side of the buttons is really odd. Your fingers don’t really match the shape. In order to press the fierce, you have to extend the ring finger a bit more.

In six button layouts, there is no problem. However, in 8 button layouts, I find the Vewlix to be uncomfortable for my pinkies.

What he said ^^

But honestly, what cool person uses 8 button?

Jesus Christ, the Most Interesting Man in the World (Dos Exis guy), Chuck Norris, Princess Luna and escape trolls from 4chan /b/.

I don’t think any of those games require 8 buttons. A lot of those buttons are just macros that aren’t necessary afaik. I think all those games use 6 buttons or less.

Yeah they are Macros, but they do more for the game than just 3XPunch or 3XKick. MK and Skull Girl the extra button are useful for tagging other characters in.
BlazBlue I map taunt to LT/L2, and I use the top 4 buttons and the first lower row as my Layout in Blazblue, Guilty Gear and many SNK fighters.

Like this
ABCD
SXXT T= Taunt X= Not used
In That respect a 8 button controller is useful as I use something that is a rough approximation of a SNK layout and ignoring the B/MK/circle button

And it Radiant Sliver Gun I have it set up on the Xbox 360 that each button does a different weapon (even if when 5 buttons are just macros).

Although not quite the same, I do use all 8 button inputs for the right side stick and both sticks top and trigger buttons for games like Assault, Virtual-On, Cyber Slead and Battlezone

IMO Vewlix is pretty much Sega Astro City’s 2p side with 6 buttons:

I never realized this because all the local arcades only used system linked Sega cabs. Also, Namco’s Noir layout is near identical to Sega Astro City layout except there is a bigger gap between the stick. Personally, the preference in layout is Noir first(Fighting Edge, Soul Edition stick and my Razer stick), Astro City in second(HRAP3/EX) then Vewlix in last place.
