Like most everyone I hope that CvS2 is released for the US DC. But there is a slight problem. As I understand it, CvS2 will have 6 buttons ala the SF games. Now this is a good thing - it shouldn't (emphasis on shouldn't) hurt the SNK guys and it would give the Capcom characters all their basic attacks back. Capcom did an okay job translating 6 buttons to 4 in the original but I'd rather not have to hit back/forward to pull off certain attacks (messes up certain combos).
Problem is the lack of decent 6 button controllers for the DC. With only the face buttons used the stock pad was 'okay' for CvS but there's no way that those triggers will be functional in a fast paced fighter like CvS2. I had this same problem trying to find a controller to play SF3:3S. The arcade stick is no longer in production,; the few sticks available are poor at best. For those of us (like me) who have gotten used to pads things look even worse. I have a Madcatz six button pad - it's D-pad is idiotically mounted on an angle thus ruining twitch reflexes while facing left. Plus it sticks when pushed in certain directions. I bought another brand's (forget the name) six-button pad - you couldn't map the trigger buttons on to the two extra face buttons <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> . I ended up getting an ASCII import fighting pad - it works okay but the up left direction is very unresponsive. You see where I'm going with this....
Someone needs to release a decent fighting controller for the DC - and with it dying that seems unlikely. This may be a problem.
