How are the buttons arranged on VF5 arcade cabs?

    I bought a PS3 recently, with VF5 and SF4 and a few other games. I also bought an adaptor to use my modded PS2 arcade stick. I'm bored of SF4 and I'm gonna start playing VF5.

    I recently started using an arcade stick for fighters instead of a controller. I played VF4 in an arcade in Florida a long time ago, but I can't remember how the buttons were arranged. And I don't have any nearby VF arcade machines to look at. This is my arcade stick: http://www.dignews.com/legacy/screenshots/tekken_5_arcade_stick.jpg

    I want to get used to playing VF5 with a button arrangement as close to the true arcade button arrangement as I can get on this arcade stick. I get the chance to travel on occasion, and if I'm lucky enough to come across a VF4 / VF4:evo / VF5 / VF5:R machine I want to be accustomed to that button arrangement.

    Which 3 buttons should I use on this arcade stick?

    So far I've been using L2, X, and Circle, but I think I've been doing it wrong so far. Would L2, L1, and Square be more accurate to the arcade setup? Or maybe L2, Square, and Triangle? Or something else?

    TLDR: How should I arrange my button setup on this arcade stick http://www.dignews.com/legacy/screenshots/tekken_5_arcade_stick.jpg to be as close as possible to the button setup on a VF5 arcade machine?

    Use the three buttons closest to the stick. Thumb on G. Look here.


    Edit: Beat to the punch!

    So X, Triangle, and R1 are probably the 3 buttons on my stick that are closest to the true arcade arrangement.

    Thanks.

    so yes L2, L1 & Square are the closest match.
