Applying Overlays on Corner-cut CPs Sucks

If you're talking about the dynamo cut corners, then yeah!
I'm waiting to get my SFII CPO in the mail today and then I will install it.

It takes a lot of patience. The thing I do not like is how you have to cut off the corners.
I've noticed with the SFII CPOs almost 9/10 cut into the Capcom logo and that looks like shit.
 
It's not so bad. Removing the old one and the sticky residue is my least favorite part. I guess cutting off the excess around the corners is a bit of a pain, but just take your time.

Yup, that's one bad thing about the cut corner for WW, it cuts into the Capcom logo. But to be honest, no one notices anyways since it's underneath and it sort of blends into the pink color.

Nice. Since I'm about to do mine hopefully today. Is there a way, or enough room to slide the CPO over to the right some to save the capcom logo? For me, it's an eye sore, and I'm trying to figure out a way around it.

I'd have to take some measurements, but I'm about to do another one and the CPO only has maybe 2-3" to the right of the logo so I don't think there would be a way to have it show completely. I'd say at least 0.5-1" of it will get cut off.

It would have been smarter for them to put the logo somewhere above the buttons. But I don't think they really thought it through with the art in general. I mean, just look at it. :)

Hmmm....

I've also noticed that the buttons come very close the to top of the very 90's color section/SFII logo. I was hoping to have some room to do this with the button decals.

I've wrapped a cut-corner panel before and covered the entire panel with the art. After it is wrapped from top to bottom, take a fine razor knife and cut precisely down the edge of the corner. You'll have a perfect match to the existing curve. Cut off the excess to the back end and simply re-place the corner art onto the corner. That way you keep any possible logos intact.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has done this? I thought it was pretty obvious. Takes more time, sure. But helps with the really nice looking panel art.

I've done that with a SFIICE CPO that was easy. But the WW has designs that will look funky if not lined correctly. I'm sure there is a way.

I've got to ask. That's one of the nicest SF2CE control panels I've ever seen... then you put the wrong stick in there. What am I missing heah?

Thanks. The stick color was a personal preference. Since there was a lot of blue in the artwork, I decided to use a blue 2P joystick. Almost went with red since that was the color of the cab. Red and black with the CE color scheme.

However, with World Warrior. I did use black sticks for both 1 & 2 Player. But changed the button colors.
 
You guys are gods.

When it comes to cpos, I rather drink beer and watch a Rosane Barr comedy show and I hate - HATE Rosane!

Grab a gun. Either the Rosane DVD or CPO gotta go!
