They should make a fighting pad with a touch pad on the left side instead of a dpad. That way you can do all the moves quickly, easily, and accurately. It'd be much better than a thumb stick or a dpad. The problem with thumb sticks is that they're too slow for doing quick taps in one direction. And dpads are bad because it's very hard to do what I call a "roll" move, i.e. where you push down, then diagonal, then right. But I think all these things could be done with a touch pad. Therefore it would have no shortcomings. You could easily do both short taps and rolls with a touch pad. The touch pad should have a small bump in the center so that you can feel where the center is. The fighting pad should have a long cord instead of being wireless. Of course it should also be very ergonomic, unlike PS3 controllers.
