The thing to note about the knockoffs of Jasen’s Panzer Fightsticks is that, it’s not the Sega classic 2P button layout (which isn’t it), it’s Jasen’s preference for lever and button distance. Sega panels have closer spacing and varying lever placements too.
The knockoffs not only took his preference for Sega 2P, but they took his own preference for lever placement. That doesn’t even count the general design concepts that were ripped off from Jasen.
It’s also why my commissioned custom Panzer isn’t like any other he’s made, and it’s also why I’m honored in some ways for my commission to be the very last.
But yeah for example, an Astro layout is actually different form a Versus City layout. The lever placement is completely different. It’s not just the button layout that’s a big deal. You have to be really hardcore to spot this stuff. haha
To clean up the first post, basically the knockoffs aren’t really ripping him off just for using Sega 2P (Hori used it long ago for HRAP v1.0) but also for the lever placement and other design choices on the chassis.
I am not calling out the knockoffs directly but if you reply to this thread then you are admitting that you’re a charlatan.
So in closing, yeah my custom panzer is really the Bugatti Royale of fight sticks.
