The controller is incredibly convenient for those of us that feel uncomfortable with the guard system when using the mouse. However, the controller seems to also have severe disadvantages when it comes to countering guard breaks and setting up feints. The issue lies in the time it takes to move your finger to the corresponding buttons (Square/X for guard break, and Circle/B for feint). This introduces a fraction of a second of delay into your ability to anticipate/counter attacks or utilize combos. Many friends of mine have opted to play classes that don't utilize these abilities as critically which I think is a shame.
umm see other controller binding threads guys...
