What I had in mind is more analagous to playing xbox with multiple people at your friends house. You get shafted and have to sit in the chair way off to the side. That doesnt affect my Halo game at all. Up still moves the same direction as everyone else, your eyes just have a wierd angle at the tv. And you may say smash tv will be difficult, but I have played Fusion frenzy for the xbox many times when I am way off to the side of the tv, and I never get my calibration messed up.
Am I gifted? I think not, but maybe it is difficult for some people. I never really considered the actual physical constraints of angling p3 and p4. Is there some aspect to this that I am missing. It seems to me that it really wouldnt be a problem. I mean, you dont always sit right in front of the tv when you play madden or duke it out in fusion frenzy. Why would this be different. I am just trying to understand your guys' input. I am glad this was brought up though, because i never really considered it, and I guess it could be problem.

Next time you're playing though, take a look at how you're holding the controller. Odds are you're facing it pretty much forward, or at least towards the TV. Now, try sitting directly in-front of the TV and facing the controller off to some extreme angle. It doesn't really matter where you're sitting, what matters more is how the controller is oriented.
If you really aren't affected by angling, then I would say that you are gifted. A lot of people, myself included, have a hard time adapting to controllers that don't correspond to the display's directions.
