This controller requires a claw method of sorts, if it gives you a better idea of what people are doing.
For the XBox360 I could see some advantages, like making slide inputs easier.
I still say that you're handicapping your potential a little bit by not using 2 programmable shoulder buttons.
But then, when using a PS3/XBox360 controller I've only seen button mashing scrub stars use the claw...
I was pretty fond of this controller in my Street Fighter days :)
