LOL where the HELL did you hear that from, me and every single person i know (and even people i don't) completely DESPISES the 360 controller.

wat.

The D-Pad is fine for me on the 360, since I can stick my fingers in between the directions. It even feels like it is rotating.
But why would you use that?
It's such a downgrade from a Joystick.
Besides, swirling is the fastest method of specials and isn't a problem.
I barely hear of anyone using the D-pad for their fighters.
Especially fighters like SC and Virtua Fighter.

I find the 360 controller easier to maneuver.
Especially with the bigger buttons and indented D-axis.
And the shape fits to my hand a bit more than a PS controller.

And the internet is full of 10 year old shit talkers.
On both PS3 and 360.

Button mashers and Skill Spammers?
That's extremely common.
On both PS3 and 360.

But they're is more players with skill than those without.
On both PS3 and 360.

If you want competition, then ask for it.

Go on Gamespot boards or something.
There's always a challenge or some sort of flamebait there.
