Seems to be mixed in this topic. I seem to use my standard controller more mainly for the fact that I hate buying batteries for the Wavebird, waste of money and they'll just get nicked from the wavebird anyhow. I don't mind not having a rumble feature, I really don't notice.
Hmm, if it were down to looks I'd choose Bahamut, he has the coolest entrance. But since he isn't there I'll vote for Yojimbo, because nothing beats the Zanmato move.
