I haven’t played a fighting game at an arcade, or even played at an arcade, for many years. It would seem too uncomfortable to sit while playing at an arcade, so I’d rather stand.
I didn’t realize that this many ppls actually perfer sitting down. I don’t see it much at my cade because I’m the first person to grab the only stool. I guess most ppls are jealous when I keep the seat for a long time(because we play winner keeps the seat).
standing all the way :tup: though sitting is a good option when tired of standing
Well when im at an arcade i stand. There are no stools at my arcade so we cant sit. At home i sit on the floor. The few times i have played on arcade on a stool i felt more comfortable for some reason. But standing dont bother me.
So i guess i prefer sitting.

Well of course it depends on what kind of cabinet it is, how the hell would I play by standing an Astro City? And sitting to play an American cabinet? Maybe stools.
I sit for pads, and stand for sticks.
I’m a sitter. However, I did notice that once I got used to the Cab at my school (after a few years), I was able to stand and do well. For me, it really depends on the zones/quality of the stick. And the angle of the board.
we don’t have a 3s cab so the only game i play at the arcade is guilty gear and thats one of the one with the big screen and the low controls and i’m 6’5 so i gotta sit or hurt my back, or stay on my knees which starts to hurt after i’ve been beat 3 or 4 times
lots of tall people do the same thing, they need to sit in order to perform well.
As for me, I can kinda play sitting, but I feel more comfortable standing up, I get better leverage and that way I feel in more control.
Im also about Ricky’s height (to that previous poster). I gotta stand up for full control.
p.s. If someone looks at you weird for sitting down they suck. Stools are a big deal, people will not play tourney matches till they get a stool sometimes.
Sitting <3
real marvel players stand
really lucky ones
stand <3
Almost no one stands at our arcade and the ones that do are usually the ones that mash the buttons when they loose and get real angry. It’s pretty funny.
I only stand if I’m watching someone else play, and even then sometimes I’ll sit.
Being absurdly tall, I literally can’t reach the controls standing. I won’t play if I can’t sit down. I’ve managed to develop this funky squat-stance for when I HAVE to play standing, but it’s hell on my legs so I end up throwing the 4th or 5th match in just so I can go find somewhere to sit down.

Yeah… You’re like 10 feet tall. =[
wanna sit… no stools
standing all the way.
Depends, I guess.
Usually I stand since most American cabinets are built for it, being moderately tall and upright. However, playing on those tiny Japanese candy cabs will almost always pretty much force you to sit down.
But for the essence of this thread, I prefer standing. It feels more serious and competetive that way, as if you’re more active and concentrated. Hearing players kick back their chair and stand up if losing sounds ridiculous to me–if you’re that serious about the game, then why haven’t you just have stood the whole time and spare yourself the dramatics? :lame:
Standing and competition sticks. It’s what I learned on, nothing compares. After a long while I might want to bring up stool to give my legs a rest, but overall I’m much more comfortable.
