Chaos.Tiki Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So I am in the process of starting my second arcade machine which is named Guitar Fighter. The premise to this machine is that people will play fighting games using Guitar Hero guitars for the attacks, ducking, and jumping, and Dance Dance Revolution pads for left and right movement. So now, I am in need of some suggestions for games. I want to know what fighting games you have played and enjoyed from the arcades, SNES all the way through Gamecube, PS2, and Dreamcast. Also some good MUGEN builds would be appreciated as well.I will also add Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Dance Dance Revolution games to the mix as well. I wanted to know if there were any custom made versions of these games as well. Thank you for your suggestions in advance, and I hope to come up with stuff that I haven't thought of yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Wow! Very unique... better make sure that you have the players present a medical physical clearance and/or sign a waiver in the event of syncope, collapse, stroke, or a heart attack as a result of being out of shape and enlisting in game play!

nullPointer Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hi Chaos!Sounds totally insane / awesome!Just a quick hit, but given the above, I think Frets on Fire could be a worthy addition to the madness / genius.Keep us posted on the project CT!

hansolo77 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Lol wtf?! A fighting machine that uses guitars and DDR pad?! Hahah I gotta see the end result. If your looking for music games, i'm partial to StepMania (dance) and Frets on Fire (guitar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I would think that most any of the following would be good - Tekken, King of FIghters, Beats of Rage, Soul Calibur series, Mortal Kombat series, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageOn Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This idea is making me smile , thinking of someone trying to pull off a Fatality/ultra combo finish using a DDR pad would be hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos.Tiki Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thank you all for the support! Frets on Fire and Stepmania are perfect for this project. Yeah this project is pretty bizzar, but that's what we aim for at my camp for Burning Man. We've got plans for many other messed up machines that all have unique twists to the gameplay. Since I'm on the subject, One of the machines being built this year by a campmate is called Mega Sized Megaman. Basically we want to make a controller the size of a coffee table with buttons as big as a hand and a joystick thats about 2 feet tall. I know this can be done, but I'm fishing for some ideas about how to construct the buttons and joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 You could go REALLY big with a Uber-NES Controller.http://tweakers.net/nieuws/74518/studievereniging-tu-delft-bouwt-s-werelds-grootste-nintendo-controller.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos.Tiki Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 That's very close to what I'm talking about. Too bad the video is all in German. But it did show me how the buttons are wired so that will be a good start. Thanks for the share. Its still in the planning stages so we might go that route, but I think we wanted to make it more of an arcade style controller. At the very least we still need 6 buttons for the Megaman X games.

RageOn Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 "we want to make a controller the size of a coffee table with buttons as big as a hand and a joystick thats about 2 feet tall.

All joysticks/buttons in essence are just switches so as long as they contact when moved your fine. I once made a wireless guitar stomp box out of an old Logitech sidewinder joypad and used 'joy to key' and 'rejoice' to interface my midi signals, worked a treat.
