After seeing the ed boon interview on how the Wii controls will work, it gave me the idea on how MK8 controls might work, as i hope they do end up like this.
Left analog stick: moves your character around, up to jump, down to duck, thats it.
Right analog stick: Performs special moves with a up down motion, or back forward, or circular motion.
To me this would be great, especially on the xbox 360. I have a hard time trying to pull moves off with the 360 controller using the dpad or the left analog stick. Mainly trying to do a move such as back forward without accidentally jumping. This new way i discribed above would totally cut that out, since the left analog stick is JUST for moving, and the right being only for special moves. There would be no need for a added button at the end of a special move either. Just make these special moves easy so grandma can pull the off too.
Of course the face buttons would be normal attacks, low kick, high kick, low punch, high punch. Well thats the real main issue for controls, at least for me.
