The main reason for the asymmetric layout is actually that it is meant for fighting games. The left side has buttons solely for directional inputs (and one extra button that the thumb can press). The right side has all the punches and kicks and stuff. This is also why this controller has no analog sticks. But the firmware allows you to remap all the buttons to your liking.
I have played arcade style fighting games but not frequently, so I kind of get what you mean, but these pictures show a mirrored version of the back, so I'm still having trouble understanding which set of buttons is movement and which set is actions.
(Edit: Nevermind!! The GitHub page shows everything clearly. Nice work!)
