I watched a video on YouTube about CC2 (the recommended one) and left stick = movement, right stick = attack, leaving d-pad for camera. So you basically can't move and rotate the camera at the same time. I don't see how that's better. CC1 was like the PSP one right? If so, then the left thumb is either rotating the camera or moving the character. Or does the PSP method have the camera mapped to the right stick? If so, why is everyone recommending CC2 (old school MH)? I don't want the claw ever. So if this ends up being a claw setup, I'm going to get MH3 with Wii Speak separately instead of the complete bundle.
By the way, I know what you're suggesting with those quotes but that wouldn't make sense, because otherwise I would know firsthand how it works =_=
