Does anyone read edge occasionally or regularly ?,
personally i think its a bit of a rip of being £4, which is why i only buy occasionally,
one thing that annoyed me this month though, was their review of Mario Sunshine, they basically slated it the whole way through, from the camera angles, to the graphics and the size and number of levels, and saying how its taken six years work and its doesnt really offer anything new over mario64, yet they still gave it 9/10 at the end.
ps. Capcom vs Snk Eo only got 3/10 i was gonna get this but now im not so sure,

I think the GC controller's works perfect for anything, it's the developer's fault if they can't work with it. Look at Super Smash Bros. Melee. Though not a conventional beat 'em up, the foundations are there and the controls are perfect.
The wrong person behind the wheel of a car can be dangerous.

I don't like beat-em-ups so i don't care, but i did like ssbm.

i buy edge every month , i started buying them after i bought the one with the big black gamecube on the front , i missed on though about atari coming back because i couldn't find it in the shops. I read it all the way through and love every page , and the mario sunshine review , i though was well written and they gave it a good score. If the camera isn't perfect , or you can see through walls when you stand at the right angle , which were problems in mario 64 , and they weren't fixed for sunshine then no matter how much fun the game is it can't get a 10 ,because the problems can be fixed but weren't and the fact that it isn't a completely original game (much like mario 64) means that it can't get a ten. (if the first two problems didn't exist then i guess that it wouldn't most certainly get a ten.)

Good question.
At the moment it's the GC pad. But, it tends to change on a daily basis. My fundamental problem with the PS2 pad is that they aren't very robust, I'm on my third one already.
The DC pad is quite comfortable. For me at least anyway. And the XBox S-Controller is quite nice too.

Don't read Edge, It's crap.
What is your fav controll pad, mine is either Ps2 or GC, the N64 was ok but i dislike the X-box control pad.

It is quite awkward. Well, for me it was, I prefer the PS2 layout for my 2D beat-em-up's.

Tempting, but if you played it multiplayer then there'd always be the argument that the guy with the PS2 pad had an advantage. I ain't played a beat-em-up properly with the GC pad yet. Well other than Smash Brothers. I'm waiting to try it out. Can't be all thaaaaat bad. Well I reckon it'd be ok for 3D beat-em-ups as you could use the stick, but for 2D beat-em-ups you really do need to use the D-pad, and I've never actually used that yet!

I don't mate. I wasn't aware Capcom were developing a new control-pad for EO.
The other alternative is to get the PS2 adapter and pop a PS2 pad into and play using that or something.
