When I play fighting or multi-button-combo games, I prefer the default controller for the game system.

However, I have noticed that some people prefer those controllers that allow a gamer to program their multi-button combos into just one button.

I consider this cheating, since the game developers programmed the game to be played without assistance from a programmable controller.

What do you think? Which do you like?

I tend to like the dafault controllers as well but when I got Gradius V I bought Sammy' s special Guilty Gear controller just to play Gradius V and Gradius Gaiden cause I had absolutely NO intention of playing them with the Dual Shock 2 controller..

default controls all the way.

I always use the default ones too
However I did consider buying the PS2 spiderman controller just for the look of it

I like Microcon' s Xbox controller, its so small and comfortable. However like most controllersd the analogs seem to be a lil loose, but it doesnt really affect the gameplay much.

I alkso like Microcons Gamecube controller and Controller S
