I agree that waiving around would get near carpal tunnel for someone like me who plays 4 hours a day, but based on what developers are saying you dont need massive movements for anything, just like a mouse. Plus you can probably calibrate sensitivity in the revolution itself and in the game's menu (i'm assuming, it makes sense). From what i've seen of the Revcon or revmote depending on who you talk to, it can sit in your lap and pick up the most subtle of movements, including rotation. So I really dont see a developer saying "I want to make people wave their arms around like an idiot." unless that's the purpose of the game. :D
there's an interview with Tobias (one of the mortal kombat creators) who doesn't know how to make a complex fighting game work on the revcon. but i think the question is, has he ever made a complex fighting game work with or on anything? he sums it up by saying it will either be genius and welcomed by all or a complete failure. Then there's a message board backlash of course with nine trillion ways people have come up with to play any fighting game you can imagine fluidly with the revcon and in very interesting ways. I'd like to see Namco have somethng at launch for rev, but a super smash bros will do me fine.
but there's no way a complex fighter cant be done with Revolution, so you dont have to worry about Nintendo killing the fighting game star.
