I haven't seen alot of discussion on 2-ways, so I was just interested in what everyone is using. If you choose other, please explain.

I still want a defender/joust 2way so that I can setup defender with the reverse button close enough to hit it with my thumb.

but other then that... I don't think it's needed...

Lilwolf, when you say you don't think its needed, do you mean that you don't play games that require a 2-way or that you you use something else instead of a 2-way.

The reason I am asking is because if I can get away using a dedicated 4-way as a 2-way without it being too sloppy, then my CP design and artwork looks a lot different than if I use an Oscar restrictor to get a good 2-way "feel".

I have read the debates over using an 8-way as a 4-way and how it just isn't acceptable for many people. Do those same people not use a 4/8 way as a 2-way or is the feel good enough?
