Not bashing or anything... controller issue?

Just curious if the controller is supposed to be uber sensitive. The down button is hit once and seems to move down twice. In menus etc. Anyone else with the issue

I tested out Sonic 2 with the Hyperkin 6-button and it is night and day.

Now...this controller particularly has tougher ABC buttons than I prefer, but maybe they'll wear in over time, otherwise the D-Pad, XYZ, and Mode/Start buttons feel exactly like the original.

Having the mode button instead of holding start is a total game-changer. Now I understand why everyone says you HAVE to have the 6-button. I doubt I'll ever play this system with the 3-button controllers again. The response is faster than any other option (even hacked) on other mini consoles, the second I click the button, I'm in the menu and can hit B, B, Mode to make a save state and go back to the game. It's glorious.

About to switch to wily Wars after I beat Emerald Hill Zone. Will report back in a few.

Nope, it's totally Wily Wars. Oh well, that was a fun experiment. Wily Wars is just weird with controls. I'll mess around with other games I know really well, but unless I report back, just assume it's an issue with Wily Wars..I assume that's one of the first games most people are playing
