not sure..it's possible more people have that
as for waggle..yes..timing is key
just like your regular fighters..I guess..like Naruto..timing your attacks into supers
(you could waggle to attack..but if you don't time it..you can't get nice chains..and you're too open for counters)
hehe..so yeah..it can be a bit annoying at first..but get used to it..since it's the best control setup..any other feels a bit weirder
