I'm fine with banning pads with analog sticks or limiting the use to only one of them. It's not realistic, since that's how standard controllers are built, and would be hard to enforce, but limiting players to only pad/stick/ etc. would be fine with me. Pick your input device and stick with it. <edit> I'm okay with limiting the button to the 3 basic buttons too. - though the combined input buttons are universally available to all controllers, so not an issue <end edit>Ya it is awkward for but I did take advantage of both analogue and d-pad in Soul Calibur 4 for a certain character I use. But it really depends on the person's comfort of utilizing it.
Point is if you're banning Hitbox because of extra functionality regardless of how it is positioned then why not pads with analogue sticks and to what point is extra functionality too much when we also are permitted to assign extra attacks to extra buttons.
@d3v - I'm not sure if I follow what you're saying. I think it's that the hitbox doesn't have extra functionality, because you can't input "impossible" directions or is it that the d-pad/analog stick does allow you some wierd things? - Also 8 overrides 2? Interesting..
