I don't think I've ever played games with a bad controller. The Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, and Dreamcast controllers are all perfect for gaming, however, if 2D fighting is your thing, the small D-pad on the Gamecube controller will limit you severely. It's a good thing there's only 1 (traditional) 2D fighter available for the Cube. Bad controller? Hardly. I'd expect that sort of comment from bitter fanboys though. Rise above that petty shit.
