Game Development / Fighting game control schemes

« on: September 12, 2011, 08:23:58 AM »

As part of my college course, I have to come up with three ideas for games, one of which is a 3D fighting game. I have decided to make this thread to see which control schemes people find easiest to deal with (of course, this will only really be of use if I can get enough opinions by very early tomorrow/my idea gets picked).

Essentially, the idea is a 3D fighting game with buildings as the fighters. It will be played on the Xbox controller if made, so if you have any other suggestions for button layouts, use that.

...I think that about covers it, just tell me what schemes are good/give me a new one, and possibly an explanation as to how said scheme works.
