I've been interested in this, as I'd like to play a good traditional fantasy fighter (and this kind of reminds me of Warhammer too).
Think it'll get translated, and does it look possible for an XBLA release?
When I moved to a stick, I had trouble with the 2 x qcf motion and found out it wasn't my accuracy that was the problem but the speed I was doing it. I think it's because you're moving a greater distance with the stick opposed to the pad combined.
