Puzzle Fighter II Controls messed up??
Is the controls messed up on puzzlle fighter II or is it my controller? When I press down, at times it would go right or left and down. Any one else encounter this problem?

I was about to say I'm not having this issue, but that is because the D pad on the PS3 is different.
I use the 360 controller a lot on the PC and usually don't have major issues. Guess this game is an exception.

The problem is, the d-pad on the 360 controller sucks. I downloaded the demo for this game on the PS3, and the d-pad on the sixaxis is so much better for this game.

I use the control stick just fine.

Yup, Analog too sensitive, D-pad too stiff

Too true, too true. 
Yeah, I think the Xbox controller was made just to play Halo.. I don't think Microsoft even considered that there would games that would require precise non-analog controls when designing it. It's a really effing shame given the fantastic output of neo-retro software on Xbox Live Arcade. The d-pad is so bad I'm not even sure why it's there as anything more than decoration.

I don't even think the D-Pad is acceptable for things like activating maps and inventory...which is pretty damn sad. It's totally unreliable.
For Pac Man CE, I use the analog stick. Can't remember what I did with Puzzle Fighter..only played it for 15 minutes.
