so officially there's only 2 panels for the swing, a 2L6B and a 4L12B , which is ok for most beat em ups, but not optimal for many games.
since the game was actually in use in an arcade, I couldn't take the panel home to trace it, I had to rely on art I found , and scale that according to some measurements I took on site. A buddy laser cut a piece of wood so I could check the most crucial part: the carriage bolt holes. Seemed good to go.
well that's a bit boring, so a little inkscape later, let's apply some artwork,
and the part everyone hates, but can be almost... zen like ... wiring
at that point I still wasn't 100% sure that everything would line up perfectly.. but it did
And there you have it, time for some Night Slashers action, with plenty of elbow room, just in time for halloween
