    I realize that it requires much less skill, but I just prefer the buttons. When you press B and wap someone, then the controller shakes, you feel powerful. :D
    Glad they're listening to some of us.

        I completely agree. I will definitely buy the game now. I've only played the demo, not the finished product, but it seems like it takes forever to knock an opponent out with the new controls.
