I never said I was a fighting game fan. I more want something with a decent d-pad for games like Bionic Commando, Braid, etc. on XBLA. Hence why I posted about the pads and not an arcade stick.
I may pick up SF2HD if I ever got something with a dpad for nostalgia's sake since I liked the game back in the day, but I barely play fighting games these days.[/QUOTE]
That's fine, it is indeed a great controller for 2D games. The location of the bumpers and shoulder buttons is kind of weird, but most games let you customize controls.
However, as an artist, I have no idea what your problem is with the pads' appearances. Out of 5 designs, those all look bad to you? I'll tell you they're extremely classy and the color choices are great, even if I wasn't in to Street Fighter. But I admit Ryu looks like a monkey in his drawing.
