The DC controller was huge, lumpy, and generally awful.
The GC controller was utterly obsessed with it's dang analog sticks; that stupid tiny D-pad is the main reason why I hate the thing. Utterly useless for high-level fighter play. I wont touch the thing...... not that I like the GCN anyway, mind you.
There's 2 controllers I use for my shmupping right now: the PS2 controller for my imports.... which has the best D-pad, I think. I've absolutely no trouble with precision moves in shmups or wild comboing in fighters on that thing.
And the 360 controller for my MAME stuff; I dont care for the D-pad on that one though, the circular thing, not as accurate as I'd like, but better than me yelling at and banging on the keyboard......
