...but I need em' for research.

Street Fighter abuse is very real. I've seen many a SNES controller with broken shoulder button hinges in k years of used game retail

Which is why I prefer Street Fighter Ii with the Super Advantage, the Saturn Controller, or on the 3DO.

I'm a wierdo and can't play fighting games with a stick (I know, don't kill me).  Man, nothing beats the Saturn pad for rolling out fireballs and spinning piledrivers!

[SasoriSoren]

I first played these games in an arcade so I am very comfortable with my arcade sticks. Even the virtua stick is pretty nifty.but on the saturn I do prefer the pad as it just works.

[wiggy]

I did too, I just always liked the pads better 

I was a SF2 junkie in middle and high school.  I cut school quite often to play at the local bowling alley and a random corner store by my high school that had Champion Edition and MK1.  The place was the size of a closet but there would be like 15 guys smushed up by the beer cooler playing all day long.  I was pretty decent back in the day, but age and lack of desire to play have significantly impaired my skills.

So, been thinking of building a mame machine, found someone with a gutted donkey kong cabinet who wants 40$. My only hesitation is that it's not the largest cabinet. Suggestions?

Take it!  $40 is a great price for a vintage cabinet (assuming its in pretty good cosmetic condition). In my opinion you don't need a huge MAME cabinet especially when it will mostly be just you playing it.  You'll obviously have no problem fitting everything inside the cabinet.

Jump on it

2nd.

well, cosmetically it's solid, but its pretty much the wood only. No rot, damage etc .

Picked up Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch yesterday evening, on my way home from the Day Job.
About an hour into the game, the Air Conditioning stopped working at the Apartment. 

They're suppose to come out and fix it sometime today, but wouldn't give me a specific time frame/window of when to expect them, so I have to use a vacation day, so I can sit here and wait on em.
