Okay, heres a lesson in Game Development 101 for you guys who are telling me the GC and the Classic controller are saying 'hello'. Here's how it works, you cannot make a game using peripherals or accesories as the main form of control in the title unless it comes standard with the console. STANDARD. Those two controllerss do not. And saying that they can be purchased or are readily available doesn't matter. In this case, if we look at the standard controller, the button layout does not match what the game needs.Shensolidus
Here's a lesson in Street Fighter release history for you:
Street Fighter released for the Genesis/Megadrive - its STANDARD controller was completely inadequate to play the game, using 'select' as a toggle between punch/kick type attacks because it only had three buttons. The only way to play the game properly was to buy a non-standard accessory controller with six buttons.
The classic controller is a completely viable option and has a higher profile than the genesis six-button controller ever did. Control is not nearly as much of a problem as you are making out.
