In Reply to: Panel layout for 8 buttons a player.... posted by arcadepcnut on 13, 2001 at 3:02 PM:
Here is my 8-button layout per player (actually there are 9 buttons if you count the start button).

Hopefully that displays good. Basically its two rows of 3 buttons (normal Street Fighter type layout), and then two more buttons that stager in a down to the left position (which gives you the optimal 4 finger fighter layout of thumb, index diagonally, and then middle, ring fingers go across the first two buttons of the bottom row of 3.
A little hard to explain, but this give me a layout to play some SF games, Soul Calibur (4 button staggered) type games. Of course you can also play 2+2 button Tekken style games as well.
