I can't really confirm it but from playing it with the analog stick on the 360 controller, it feels like something's broken. I consider myself at least an average player of fighters and I've used the analog for all of them, but I simply can not get HCB-F moves to come out no matter what I do. The Half Circles and DP motion just seem to work when they want to.
D-pad works fine but I really think there's something wrong with the controls. Would love it if there was some others who could test it out as well.
