Alright, but you should realize that the Sega Genesis already had a similar 6 button controller, long before the Saturn. However, there's a reason why Sega abandoned that layout when designing the Dreamcast controller.
Joysticks are better for all fighting games, not just 3D. And I find most 3D fighters to require no more button smashing than old 2D fighters. Only crapass players resort to it, while skilled players are able to navigate through the battle system a little more gracefully. Besides, since Capcom fighting games are all but dead now, I find PS2's control layout appropriate enough for titles such as Guilty Gear, Soul Calibur, and Tekken. Heck, even Marvel vs. Capcom 2 used a 4 button layout, which may be a sign that times are changing.

Macross. An experience often imitated, but NEVER duplicated. Shame on those who think otherwise.
