Arcade1up Street Fighter 2 Deluxe HS-5 Review - Best One Yet?

#arcade1up #streetfighter2

[@GoldMineArcade]

Do you know what seems real funny to me? Some people call these toys, all arcade games are toy. Even the ones at Dave & Buster’s are toys. Great video and I can’t wait to put mine together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@PDX7]

You’re absolutely right Gold Mine Arcade :) I wanted to beat the comments to the punch before the usual this is a toy comes through :) We know lol

[@ThomasGrillo]

Wow! Very glad to see A1up finally adopting the more realistic control deck, with spill, and water resistant coatings over the artwork! And the formfactor looks way more realistic. Great games lineup, too. Thanks for the review. :)

[@PDX7]

I really like what they did with this one Thomas, Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@JesterTester]

The cabinet looks so nice. I love the deck. I just am not getting the nonsense with Arcade 1up and the lit and unlit coin doors. It is so ridiculous. Just put lit coin doors in all of them. I mean, retro 530 sells the kit for $20 dollars. It literally would cost them nothing to do. I can not understand the game they are playing lighting one but not another. Great job, buddy. Have a great day today.

[@PDX7]

lol I was laughing in the other room this morning and Kellie asked what I was laughing about. I told her something Jesse said last night about his story with Bella lol I’m dying man 😂 Thank you Jesse, see you Saturday :)

[@JesterTester]

@PDX7 haha, I'm glad you got a laugh, Phil. Have a great day. See you Saturday.

[@DUGDAWGER]

Totally agree about the coin doors. Just make them light up already.

[@Matthew-vb8qb]

Are you planning on changing out the buttons? I want, but I don’t know which I want to replace them with. Any recommendations on buttons?

[@Matthew-vb8qb]

I also wish arcade 1up wouldn’t put their logos on the front and on the coin door. I might paint over the chrome logo and cover the other one on the front with a black sticker

[@ToxcynTV]

hands down the best fighting cab design. I love how it looks.

[@PDX7]

They really really did a great job on this design Tox, Have a great man 👊

[@Matthew-vb8qb]

Just got mine last week. I love it. It’s all about the shape and the control deck. It’s very comfortable. So happy with this purchase.

[@PDX7]

I agree, it’s probably the best 2 player can yet! Thanks for watching 👊

[@fretburner89]

It does look like a great cab. I'm hoping for the same release in the new XL form factor, as well as Mortal Kombat, in the coming year.

[@PDX7]

I also hope the SF2 XL will by the HS-5, it would look really cool! Which MK do you want for XL if you could pick?

[@Triumph_or_Die]

Mortal Kombat I or II in XL, so long as Johnny Cage is on MK1 like he's supposed to be.

[@robkrasinski6217]

Johnny Cage can't be on MK1 because the actor Daniel Pesina doesn't want his image used. There's nothing Tastemakers/A1Up can do about that. There are graphic companies selling Johnny Cage graphics to put on the cabinet. And this year's MKII deluxe has a BOE monitor not the bad one from last year's MK 30th.

[@PDX7]

Hopefully they give us a MK done right next time kind of hoping that is the XL

[@thequarterdeckarcade]

Great review! I love your nostalgia for these cabinets. I don't own a single Street Fighter cabinet but hearing you describe your love for the different looks of each cabinet almost makes me want to pick one up. We'll see what Black Friday brings. Keep up the great work!

[@PDX7]

Thank you Quarter Deck :) Don’t let me talk you into anything lol something will drop next month wait as long as you can :)

[@bushido7752]

@@PDX7whoa whoa what insider knowledge do you have 😅

[@PDX7]

That we will see more sales coming, if you feel like holding out for a deal just sit back and:) I think we’re in for a wild finish to 2023.

[@Triumph_or_Die]

Phil.... I'm already out of room and am putting cabs in my dining room, lol! What else is coming out!?

[@PDX7]

@Triumph_or_Die hopefully nothing else in 23 lol I’m tight too :) we need a game plan for 2024

[@Triumph_or_Die]

The review I've been waiting to watch! Great review, Phil!

[@PDX7]

Thank you Sonny! Sorry I was late on the measurements last night I was finishing this up and getting ready for Nostalgia Power. Have a great day man 👊

[@Triumph_or_Die]

No worries! I appreciate it. Ha-do-ken!

[@nasman7492]

I got this for $300 and it’s my first delux.The form factor is beautiful and I liked that it came in a plain box.Mine had a bunch of really bad quality control issues which was very disappointing since with my earlier cabs I didn’t have any.Kinda surprised too after all this time they never upgraded their buttons.No light up coin slots is also a bummer.Hope now Arcade1Up makes all their old cabs a delux and add coin lights and maybe even movable coin slot doors

[@PDX7]

Hope they all are lit up going forward, it’s a great comfortable cab just need to tweak a few things and these will be perfect. Thank you for watching 👊

[@nerdloftgaming]

Great stuff, bud! I finally picked one up at Walmart for that 299 - at that price I couldn’t resist upgrading my Gen 1. It took a while for them but A1U finally has nailed the form factors, and the different cabs look amazing together because of it 😭

[@PDX7]

Dude great pickup NLG!! Can’t beat this for $299 :) you’ll love this 👊

[@DDGHB106]

Do you know how long the sale will last?

[@PDX7]

@DDGHB106 probably until they sell out, good chance for the remainder of this month.

[@stillMeNZa]

They do look good and varied but my tron still sticks out. That needs its own spot lol

[@PDX7]

@stillMeNZa definitely! Still need one of those :)

[@DaneMarshall56377]

I definitely plan on getting this but will still keep my Street Fighter Legacy because I love Ghosts n Goblins. Will you be getting the Galaga deluxe? I’m just happy to see A1up finally creating replicas that look like the OG cabs

[@PDX7]

I forgot to mention Ghosts n Goblins in the video, that’s exactly why we need a few SF cabinets they spread these out lol I’m leaning towards Galaga, hoping for a sale it’s back to 499. Actually I do think there’s more value in Galaga than Class of 81 because of the 2 extra games even though ones PAC and Ms Pacman I like Galaga.

[@KindredEmotions]

Seeing this makes me glad I stayed my hand on purchasing some of the first generation cabinets from Arcade1up. They just never looked close enough to the geniune article to seem worth the high asking price back then but this is a great step closer to recreating the 80s and 90s of arcade gaming.

[@PDX7]

I agree :) the only cab I regret passing on is Marvel Superheroes because of the Punisher, I must have walked past that box at Walmart 6 times at $248. My first cab was X-Men I’ve stayed towards the newer truer arcade look too. Thanks for watching 👊

[@juliohernandez3668]

Pd7 well said at the end. Why do we keep buying them?? It’s the nostalgia. I’m 40 and we all grew up going to arcade places and spend hours there. love your reviews and this new SF cab is a gorgeous cab. I want the Pac-Man xl also lol.

[@PDX7]

Thank you Julio :) I really appreciate it 👊 It was 1992 playing SF on snes now we can put that arcade in our home it’s unbelievable:)

[@RelaxingReality]

Great review and appreciate your attention to detail. We recently ordered this for our mini game room and absolutely love it!

[@PDX7]

That’s Awesome! Did you pick it up for 299? Thank you for watching!

[@RelaxingReality]

@@PDX7 yes sir!

[@PDX7]

Awesome 👊

[@stillMeNZa]

Ordered mine today on Amazon. I’m so impressed with this cab.

[@PDX7]

That’s really cool! It’s such a great price right now :)

[@trailbreaker11]

Great video! I think A1UP cabinets are looking better and better as time goes on. 👍🏻

[@PDX7]

Thank you Jason! I do too 👊

[@ericvonbergen7223]

Couldn't agree more with your closing statements. It's all about the look and the nostalgia. Makes playing the games all the better. The cabs look great. Nice review.

[@PDX7]

Thank you Eric :)

[@ThousanWhite]

Yeah these are so easy to buy at the $299 price point, it's sooo tempting. I just keep wondering if there's another XL just right around the corner for all of these!

[@PDX7]

I’m guessing by June we might see a XL SF2. If you buy at 299 you can always sell for an XL and still get around 200 back. Kind of renting it for 6 months for 100 :)

[@TheBigb1973]

Just ordered from Amazon. $100 off again right now for BF. between giftcards and creditcard points i paid $77 😂👊👊 selling me shinku one. To make room for this beast!

[@PDX7]

Awesome man $77!! Great time to buy and use points / gift cards :) deals are better this year than last!

[@TVindustries5000]

I took the emblem off the door, bought an 8 dollar LED strip from walmart. ran the strip thru 2 holes on the front, and taped the strip till 2 of the warm LEDs were behind the holes(took the coin releases out to mark the area they needed to be), clipped some plastic supports to accomodate the led strip, screwed it on and ran the end to the usb (this does create a CRT like interference noise so some might have to plug it elsewhere) I covered the holes from the emblem with strips electrical tape cant even really notice it. i thought id have to drill but it worked out!

[@PDX7]

That is awesome TV industries! Thank you for sharing 👊

[@Holein1scott]

Good thoughtful review, Phil. I have the SF2 Legacy cab. I've been thinking about this cab, but this hobby is getting to be too expensive and I've only got 4 cabs at the moment! haha Your arcade looks awesome.

[@PDX7]

Thank you Scott :) it’s a very expensive hobby isn’t it. Wait for some deals this winter it’s worth the wait :)

[@ien2023]

The cab shape got nostalgia. It brings back memories.

[@PDX7]

One of their best cabs yet! Really looks awesome :)

[@DUGDAWGER]

I really like the Dynamo form factor. Looks great. As a Yoga Flame owner, it would take an XL version of the Dynamo for me to buy, but I also hope Arcade1Up makes some of the games missing from Big Blue downloadable for all of the wifi enabled cabs (Darkstalkers, etc.). I chatted with Danny from CornerCade about that, and I think that would be nice so people can choose the cab design that they prefer while still having a way to get their favorite games. It would also potentially result in more people online to play those games with, which is always a good thing.

[@PDX7]

Another option is finding that pcb on eBay weather we lose the online ability we could still put something like Big Blue in a Yoga Flame cab.

[@marccaselle8108]

Time for yoga bye bye 🤣

[@famfigueroa3917]

Absolutely they should, but they should charge for every game download.

[@PDX7]

I think that could come next year purchasing on selected type of cabinets.

[@robkrasinski6217]

Ok, I have Big Blue but it's missing Final Fight. There is a Yoga pcb on ebay for a little over $100. Would that work on big blue or not? If not, I could get this cab and keep my Big Blue because there are games on Big Blue that aren't on Yoga/Shinku Hadoken or this new one. Big Blue is softmoddable though but not sure about this one. If I could figure out how to softmod Big Blue, I could put Final Fight on that. And why are the SFII's on this, Big Blue, and Yoga/Shinku versions not US roms and missing Winners don't use Drugs? But the Super Turbo on Big Blue is the US version and has both Winners don't use Drugs and Qsound Virtual Audio like the US arcade version. The Super Turbos on other cabs do not have Winners don't use Drugs or Qsound Virtual Audio.

[@blessedchild3142]

This is the cabinet that's needs to be the pro model

[@PDX7]

Yes or at least an XL I’d like to see either happen next year I’m really liking this look.

[@boboifiii1289]

Finally got my first sf cab. Just got it yesterday so of course it’s full of awesome. Gotta do the retro530 to this and mk deluxe.

[@PDX7]

Awesome!! Yes lit coin doors would be great!

[@ZodWriter]

#NostalgiaPower I love how you make a really compelling argument for owning 3 Street Fighter II cabinets! Which one do you think looks the best out of the three, from a purely physical perspective? Great review Phil! paPOw!!! 💥💥👊💥💥🙏 See you Saturday!

[@PDX7]

#NostalgiaPower It’s a very close call between deluxe and Big Blue they both look really good. I’ll lean towards Deluxe because I’m just picturing the screw holes on Big Blue remembering PDubs in his review saying it looked like it was in a drive by lol Thanks Zod, see you Saturday 💥💥👊

[@carlo1132]

Congrats on the pickup PhiLo, the addiction is real brother!

[@PDX7]

Thank you Carl :) especially when their 399 :) AtGames 4k in two days looking forward to seeing them and A1up booth. We will get some coverage Thank you for pushing me to go!

[@Tor109]

I could basically hook up my computer to my tv, pull out my x-arcade tank stick and play every arcade game on mame but I wanna play them on a cabinet standing up like I did back in the day. It would be cool if arcade1up had an option to add a functional coin door. That would be awesome.

[@PDX7]

Yes it would be :) at least give us a button on the coin door to press. Thanks for watching 👊

[@H0otz]

Really nice looking machine, thanks for the review!

[@PDX7]

Thank you H0otz! I love it :)

[@Mikethecoolguy]

They have spread themselves so thin with regular, deluxe and xl. I just want all xl so it looks closer to a real arcade in my house

[@TexasHollowEarth]

Shinku cab is really nice tho. That side panel art pops if not in an arcade setup, as I have mine. I only have the one cab and have started converting it into a multicade with a 20" monitor + audio upgrades and more 👍

[@PDX7]

I love the Shinku too, it’s a keeper! I think next year could be a big year for XL, I want to say we got 10-11 deluxe this year it could be that many XL in 24.

[@WWRNC]

Has to be the best version of Street Fighter that they have released, from an appearance perspective. They could only really top it with an XL Big Blue at this point.

[@PDX7]

Yes I agree and if they did I would definitely trade in my Big Blue for an XL :)

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Man this cab looks great. Honestly I know these are re releases but they are so good.

[@PDX7]

The look of it gives them a pass for another rerelease :) Just incredible looking! Will there be a Geniecade 2.0 coming?

[@thumpersquid]

Great review PD7! I really enjoy your channel!

[@PDX7]

Thank you Thumper Squid 👊 I really appreciate it :)

[@SoulforSale]

Every version has been an improvement over the last.

[@PDX7]

Yes it has they sure know how to keep us buying these things lol Good to hear from you man 👊

[@zoasvideogamesarcadetours5336]

That's how the original looks. Plain. I am a 90s kid and I use to live for the arcades.

[@PDX7]

They did a great job recreating this :) Thank you for watching 👊 What’s your favorite 90’s animated series?

[@zoasvideogamesarcadetours5336]

@PDX7 I use to watch alot of Nickelodeon. Rugrats at 6pm and Are You Afraid Of The Dark at 7pm. I'm not sure if you'll consider those animated but it's what I watched everyday lol.

[@PDX7]

@zoasvideogamesarcadetours5336 that’s Awesome!! Classic TV :)

[@multicadematt]

Arcade1up crushed the form factor. Great detailed review Phil.

[@PDX7]

They really did Matt, that control deck is great! Thank you 🙏

[@SaltyAdvisor]

How’s the feeling with 2players on the new deck? I remember the first Arcade 1Up SFII:CE released was sort of cramped if you had two players. You had to stand at a bit of an angle and it was sort of awkward. Hope it’s wider

[@PDX7]

Hi Salty Advisor, it’s still pretty tight for 2 players. Standing on an angle is still a must, maybe the XL form factor will be big enough on the next one. Thanks for watching 👊

[@evilgeniusentertainment]

I wonder how well this will move considering most of us expect an XL version next year. How sturdy is that additional outcropping on the control deck? I'm a little worried that after a couple of adult beverages me and my ape-like friends would crack it off... great content as always brother!

[@PDX7]

It’s pretty solid it’s the shaking of the cab on carpet would be the only thing. If they drop back to 399 I think people like myself will keep buying SF and Galaga. Yes we want the XL, but a steep renting price on the deluxe until then is worth it at this price. Here I was going to get the NBA Jam deluxe and it got pushed back and I end up with Pac Man XL and a 3rd SF2 :)

[@PDX7]

Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch :) if this drops again definitely consider it, best 2 player yet!

[@evilgeniusentertainment]

Groovy! Do you think 2 200 plus pound dudes could play on this new design comfortably? Some big fellas come over to the game shack....

[@evilgeniusentertainment]

My pleasure! I def want to play SF on-line (any lag or emulation issues with this cab?), but also love playing against my friends in person (which is why I'm hoping there is an XL down the line).

[@PDX7]

@evilgeniusentertainment shoulders might be touching :) it’s still tight, but strong enough to support.

[@smokeyarcade]

Great review Phil! I'm happy with my Yoga Flame. REALLY wish they'd put the Golden Axe on sale, or rather, re-release a deluxe version with online + leaderboards. Failing that, hopefully a HOTD cab in 2024?

[@PDX7]

Thank you Smokey, You’re Yoga Flame is a great cab absolutely no reason to think about upgrading right now. We need to play some Beat ‘em ups together :) Maybe late December we might see GA on sale, we’re both really interested:)

[@smokeyarcade]

@@PDX7 Yeah definitely bud. I just gotta find the best way to set up discord chat from where my cab is. Maybe my phone using some headphones. Yeah i'm gonna keep an eye out for GA, i would love a deluxe version of that but I don't think they'll revisit GA tbh :( $199 or even $299 would be okay IMO, but not $549 for just 5 games and no online.

[@PDX7]

@smokeyarcade hold out for 299 :) there’s plenty of these! I use earbuds with my phone for discord, works great for the Sunday night Simpsons chat

[@smokeyarcade]

@@PDX7 Ah awesome. I got a pair of beats so i'll use those with my phone & discord. Yeah I feel like $299 would be the sweet spot for GA.

[@PDX7]

@smokeyarcade awesome! Yes 299 is the right price for this cab :)

[@stokjock]

OMG!! Phil, you are buying up all the cabs! Leave some for us lol. Great review. I have a Yoga Flame already so I'm passing on this as I'm not a big fighting cab person

[@PDX7]

I can’t stop lol You’re Yoga Flame is a great cab best game lineup. We have to play some Beat ‘em ups text me anytime you are interested in a play through :)

[@vader86davedestephanis]

Great review hit all points, I don't mind risers at all, I live the height on stool with riser not saying I wouldn't buy deluxe but I only have ms pac, pacplus,T2,blitz, and RR so I won't change any but if something on sale for 299 with riser I would buy that before 399 deluxe, I am all about the $$ haha ty

[@PDX7]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that we have a ton of options:) All types of form factors Dave! Thank you 🙏

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

Yeah but what does the inside look like?? That's what everyone wants to see. And I mean literally everyone. I asked. Haha jk man the cabinet looks great I can't wait to get it.

[@PDX7]

lol 😂 I can totally see this in your arcade :)

[@The_Bad_Guy.]

@@PDX7 I only use CRT monitors... It looks so much better lol. All kidding aside, I already have the spot picked out for it.

[@PDX7]

@TheBadGuyMikeWerley don’t forget the happs and sanwas :)

[@jjrox8930]

Pretty impressive. But, do you even know how to play street fighter or are you just showing off your collection?

[@PDX7]

I play the beat em ups on here, it’s a great game lineup for both fighter fans and beat em ups with endless continues lol

[@dravenlee4473]

I really hate the riser look on A1Us so when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. While 3/4 and still not exactly like the arcade, it's super close and about as close as you are going to get. It looks great in the person and the screen and sound are pretty impressive. I will say, the buttons are complete trash. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the $60+ to upgrade them or just leave it how it is. The stick is fine but the tension spring is weak. If you are used to Street Fighter in the actual arcades, upgrading to a 4lb spring makes a world of difference and is a fairly easy but needed mod. A1U is getting close but they still have some work to do.

[@PDX7]

I wish they would give us a little better controls because you’re right they would make a difference just having more tension. I guess when you run into a time like now where nothing is coming out yet and sales are kind of at a stand still it’s a good time to mod your cab. Thinking of the same with a bigger monitor for T2 and retro upgrade.

[@kyleverdun4586]

Just bought one a week ago for 300 ar walmart. I love everything about it expect the coin slots.

[@PDX7]

Awesome price! Do you have any other Arcades?

[@HungrywolfGarou]

Awesome video, man! We have to play something some time. I'm loving this cab. They definitely need to do light up coin doors for all Deluxes going forward. What are your favorite games on the cab?

[@PDX7]

Yes they all need to be lit up going forward :) King of Dragons, Final Fight and Captain Commando are my favorites. I’m going to send you my cell in discord we can play anytime man 👊

[@BUCKWILD-yx6ek]

I don’t have a SF cabinet yet, but I think this the one I’m going to get. I have my cabinets in my living room. My living room is big enough 😊

[@PDX7]

That’s great your room is plenty big :) Wait for this to drop to 399 again it’s gotta happen before New Years.

[@BUCKWILD-yx6ek]

@@PDX7 thanks I will

[@TheresaJohnLobos]

looks great. Your right 1 up keeps getting better.

[@PDX7]

Looking promising for 2024 :)

[@volcalstone]

Nice cab. I just hope the deck doesn't wear off like the 1st gen. I didn't know about this edition nor when it was going to come out. I was already set on the yoga flame as my 1st 1up. What a great price too for prime but I ended up getting the yoga flame for $280 only after my rewards and rebate from Dell. $120 cheaper and has the same games so no biggie. Yeah it's a Midway cab but I'm fine with it as it long as it's comfortable to play with. At this point I'm gonna wait for the XL version instead as I do like a larger screen. I would buy another SF or Capcom cab. I would just sell my yoga flame. 😊 Space is limited to me right now and this is why I don't have many more 1ups.

[@PDX7]

Great pickup from Dell! Can’t beat 280 for Yoga Flame :) It’s good you’re waiting you can be choosy and wait for the right cabs and not have to deal with selling to bring new ones in. Thank you for watching 👊

[@ChosenOne1994]

Good review.. No way my money is long enough to have 3 of the same cab, unless discounted to each his own... On another note.. Phil those lobby's were not full, only 4 matches let's not exaggerate👍🏿

[@PDX7]

Come on Chosen One I’m trying :) Thank you man 👊

[@itsmeevan]

I think it looks great 👍

[@PDX7]

I love it, best yet!

[@bigdofba]

This takes me back to my childhood

[@PDX7]

I was saying the same thing playing SF2 on snes as a kid and now having the arcades it’s crazy the things we can get now :)

[@bigdofba]

@@PDX7 When I got SFII for the SNES as a kid I was in Heaven. I got up at 5am and opened that present, then I played it non-stop until like midnight.

[@PDX7]

@bigdofba it was a great game :) nothing was like SF2 for snes!

[@bigdofba]

I want a deluxe version of the original SF II. Champion edition is cool but it would be awesome to also have the SF II colors.

[@PDX7]

I have a feeling we will get this version in the XL next year, I like the look too it’s so 90’s!

[@bigdofba]

@@PDX7 Same…plus the nostalgia of it. That’s where it all started. I remember waiting in line to play that as a kid at my local Ken’s pizza.

[@OperantSound]

I now have 4 SF2 vabs, and while I love the look of each, theyre killing my real estate. Think you'll ever sell off any sft cabs to make space? If so, which go first?

[@PDX7]

They do take up a lot of floor space:) because Shinku and Deluxe have the same lineup I’ll sell Shinku when I absolutely have to. Big blue is safe because of form factor and Knights of the Round. What will you do?

[@OperantSound]

@@PDX7 Thats tough. I love love love big blue form, but not a fan of the game list or the control panel height. I'd love for them to do a Deluxe big blue where they got at least the cp right. But, until then I think it may be big blue and yoga flame.In a drop of a hat I'd sell both BB and YF for Shinku. How many cabs do you have and how much space is left for new cabs?

[@PDX7]

@OperantSound I have 15 cans in my 11x11 room it’s maxed out. There’s 1 cab GTXL in the back living room and 2 cabs in the basement / gym I do have another coming in a few days for basement. So I can fit 2 more in before something needs to sell.

[@privateprivate31337]

My biggest pet peeve is how narrow the deck is. I wish with this they had widen it to give you more elbow room

[@PDX7]

It’s hard to get 2 people to play comfortably on this or any 2 player Arcade1up, 4 player decks take up so much room but make it perfect. Thanks for watching!

[@TVindustries5000]

Iv been playing mine alot. this is what they should've dropped in 2019. i feel dumb for buyin the first one because i felt theyd get to hear eventually it would just take time. joysticks are even better. the buttons still reek tho.

[@PDX7]

Oh we all buy multiple MK and SF cabs :) it’s all part of our crazy expensive hobby :)

[@TheChallenger1980]

Really great review. I think this is a great looking cabinet. The measurements help. As for the marquee, is it possible to swap a yoga flame HF marquee into that cab? They look to be the same size.

[@PDX7]

Thank you 🙏 yes you just need to remove the side when it’s laying down and you can swap marquees. Szabo’s arcades will have plenty to choose from PD710 code at checkout might still get you 10% off one order. Yoga flame marquee should fit too.

[@The_Garage_Gamer]

Nice you got one! Let me know when you need someone to play with online, I still have my big blue.

[@PDX7]

Knights of the Round?

[@IROC-ROB]

So I have the deluxe SF and just recently purchased the Big Blue from Best Buy for $299. I don't have the room but I couldn't pass up that deal. Now I'm in a dilemma. Since I already have SF2 deluxe, is Big Blue worth keeping and have 2 SF cabs and just sale my QVC Marvel Superhero's that has the light up buttons or return the Big Blue? 🤔

[@PDX7]

That’s a very tough decision Rob, if you have interest in playing Knights of the Round I’d keep Big Blue, but if you are passionate about having the Punisher as rare as it is keep Marvel. Trust your gut :)

[@IROC-ROB]

@@PDX7 Thanks for the input. I'll probably just keep them both, get creative and find a place for it. Or maybe sell another cab like Dragons Lair, I love it but my kids hate it so it gets no play other than looking good lol

[@PDX7]

@IROC-ROB it’s a good cab to turn on and appreciate:) I know it’s tough, we all run out of room and have to decide what’s leaving.

[@saiyanspirits]

She's the sleek and classy looking girl of the three🙂 Question, if someone were to come over and you wanted to play against each other on different cabs would they need to log on with their profile or how would that work? I'm fishing for an excuse to buy this lol.

[@PDX7]

All 3 of my SF2 cabs ( I know typing that seems crazy lol ) have different profiles: Big Blue PD7, Shinku PD7X and Deluxe PD7Lucky so you’ll have different users every time.

[@saiyanspirits]

@@PDX7 This is a selling point. I have 2 buddies that love to come over and play against each other, and two people on those cabs are a tight fit which is why I'd love an xl, but this is a workaround. Thanks for that dangerous piece of info.

[@PDX7]

@saiyanspirits wait for another sale :) there has to be more coming..

[@bigdofba]

I would totally buy multiple SF II deluxe cabs just because they looked different. I really prefer the original look though as much as possible.

[@PDX7]

That’s my thing too I like the look of each one it’s hard to part with one even though it has the same games as another it’s the cabinet look.

@@PDX7 I remember as a kid I would be addicted to played SFII in the arcade and then one day when I would show up, magically champion edition was there lol We never new when stuff was getting released back then or at least I didn’t.

[@PDX7]

@bigdofba I remembered when MK3 came out and I thought it was so cool I had no idea it was out either :)

[@FROSTINATOR]

The control panel height on all arcade1up gen 1, Gen 2 and gen 3 including big blue cabinets are correct being the same height as the actual original arcade machines they are based off. (Give or.take they might be actaully be 1/2" or 1" higher).The newer cabinets afterwards though like KI, Yoga flame, MK 30th legacy, simpsons, NFL etc, their control panels are are too high. KI is the worst because it's control panel is same height as the first 3 legacy cabinets. The yoga flame, MK 30th, mvc2 are a little lower than the previous legacy models but still too high. Arcade1up had it right when they started. This new SF2 again is too high. Big blue is correct compared to this one. I don't understand how people complained about this when the height use to be correct.

[@PDX7]

You’re absolutely right the decks are totally accurate. Being 44 I am really liking the higher panels were getting now :) KI is pretty high I’ll admit, but the new slanted deck is great :)

[@KevinPierce-f1q]

[@dddtrump]

This newest SF2 release should have also included a 19-21inch monitor and no more then 399 max. This new control deck looks like it might be good as you have more room to rest your wrists. Thanks for the comparison to Big Blue.. As I have one sitting in my garage ready to assemble soon. Can we find speaker bezels for big blue speakers?

[@PDX7]

I agree, but they’re probably saving 19” or higher for the XL version probably next year. That’s a good question I’ll have to check maybe Amazon for a 3-4” speaker grill it would definitely improve the look.

[@ChicagoBulls2007]

Are you kidding me? I’m about to set this go and there’s no control deck acrylic cover??

[@PDX7]

Nope, it’s got a protective coating artwork will not come off. This and Big Buck Pro are the first without it.

[@SuperAwesomePerson20]

I want to get a sf2 cab, which one would you recommend and is best value for money? Does any of the cabs have different games on them or are they all identical?

[@PDX7]

It’s all up to the look you’re going for and game selections. Big Blue will come with a stool and 12 online games, this is very heavy for fighters and has Knights of the Round a great Beat ‘em up. Yoga Flame & Shinku have 14 online games same lineup as the deluxe. These are more Beat ‘em up heavy cabs, the tough thing is they will all have sales for the next 2 months. You can’t go wrong with any of these, if I didn’t have a SF it would be either Yoga / Shinku or Deluxe because of the 14 games versus Big Blues 12. Wait until price is right stay under 399, Thank you for watching 👊

[@TheJoejoez]

Was thinking of this as an upgrade, then I looked at the games list... It's missing my 2 favorite Capcom games besides SF2... Darkstalkers and Ghosts n Goblins! ughhh... I've never heard of some of these titles on this. Progear? Battle Circuit? Capcom Sports Club? Giga Wing? Armored Warriors? Those were def not popular in any arcade by me. Think this has best design but Big Blue and Legacy have better games.

[@PDX7]

I agree, unfortunately we need 3 SF2 cabs to have all of those. I wonder why they went with some of these over the legacy titles.

[@TheJoejoez]

@@PDX7 Yep, or... they could have just had a mini store for Capcom like the switch and let people buy the extras... seems like money left on the table.

[@PDX7]

@TheJoejoez I like that idea, with online capability they could’ve been able to give us something like that.

[@pixelrangerstudio86]

i am 1.90 cm tall, and this cabinet is 1,60 tall, its going to be a pain to play? or would you suggest that these cabinets are made to be played from a stool? Also how comfortoble is for 2 player at once? thanks a lot!

[@PDX7]

Actually you could probably be pretty comfortable standing or sitting on a stool I do both. But if this is too low you can add a riser booster bringing it up 3”-5” taller. They make one for every arcade, roughly $50-70 for one. I can send you a link if you’re interested

[@pixelrangerstudio86]

@pixelrangerstudio86 Thank you for watching 👊

[@robkrasinski6217]

What about a Big Blue XL with the protruding deck with angled ends? In Super Turbo design? I have the regular BB, just finished building the top part and put it on the riser. I procrastinated building some of my newer cabs I got last year like KI Pro which is still unbuilt, and the new MKII deluxe I got this spring from Best Buy shipped to me. The Big Blue was under $200 from ebay, a business selling it as-is. The BB is also softmoddable so I could play Final Fight on it or even Alpha 1 and 2 on emulators. BB doesn't have Final Fight like the other SF cabs.

[@PDX7]

200 is a steal for big blue! I’m looking forward to what design they go with on the XL. Maybe AvP Super turbo design I feel like this is happening next year.

[@waterinthedesert81]

Why isn't there a deck protector doesn't it hurt your hands after a while??? Is there a custom deck protector that you can buy for this

[@PDX7]

The coating on the deck won’t rub off like previous cabinets. You won’t need a deck protector for this or Big Buck Hunter Pro :)

[@waterinthedesert81]

? You need a deck protector for hand comfort obviously you don't play for hours at a time we just do it for aesthetics??? You never mind your cabinets I don't see anything would happ or IL joysticks or buttons???

I'm top 10 in Turbo look it up

[@PDX7]

@waterinthedesert81 they made this one different you won’t need the protector the coating won’t rub off from your hands. Everything else they made would need the plastic protector, but not SF2 Deluxe.

[@waterinthedesert81]

I'm sure they come out with a deck protector with the extended deck for the Dynamo cab eventually or get it custom made

is this cab android base with same chipset as the shinku/yoga flame?

@@PDX7 you mean buystuff? I didn’t see any monitor upgrades from them but I’ll look around ( and at other mod sites ) My main complaint about 17” monitor is just that it feels like milking the herd again… the XL Pacman has a 19inch, so the next cab we’ll see is going to probably be a SF2 XL.

[@PDX7]

@MurderMostFowl yes I’m sorry, we should see an XL next year for SF2 and MK2 with 19” monitors.

Hi Phil. Awesome cab. I wondering have you heard of any sales for this one again for 399? Sadly I missed out and the dang company spreetail who was selling it for 399 raised the prices to 499. I emailed them and sadly no luck. I can get 5% off from target but that’s about it.

[@PDX7]

Do you have any circle dollars built up at Target? I think we will see this drop again and Galaga 🤞sales has to have been good and A1up would sell more in November/ December at 399. I forgot to ask you did you pick up a 2nd Pac Man?

[@pxp751]

@@PDX7 sadly I don’t have anything built in target. Just got their red card last month. Oh well guess will settle for the 5 percent off. Going to replace this cab with my 2018 sf2.

[@PDX7]

@pxp751 nothing wrong with that Alex, we have an addiction to feed :) So every time you shop at Target now enter your phone number and get 1-2% back it adds up and helps pay for some of these. 5% is still 23 off or wait for another 399 sale

[@lxlthecrowlxl]

Cosmetic wise 1up arcades look great but hardware wise they're awful. Absolutely terrible. I bought Killer Instinct last year which was my first 1up machine and I was very disappointed with those joysticks. I used to play that game competitively back in the day on the real arcade machine so I know what the sticks should feel like, and man the ones from 1up disappointed me. I knew something was up when 7 out of 10 times I couldn't launch a fireball. Something so easy to do. They say first impressions mean everything and I was very unimpressed. These Street Fighter machines look solid and beautiful, but man... Those joysticks bro. Why do they cheap out on the most important part. Changing them out is not feasible because I am not tech savvy

[@PDX7]

I know man, to be honest these sticks are better than what we were getting before KI but still not great. Trust me it’s not as hard as you think to swap them out or buttons. If you can build one of these you can definitely change out controls. They’re fine for me because I’m a recreational player, but a competitive player would definitely be in their interest to change. Your right the cabs are great basically pieces of art just need to improve on controls and they’re perfect. Thanks for watching 👊
