I need to watch this trailer now,but on the controller note, it's up to the game coding to decide how fast a controller can aim and stop. Left 4 Dead 2 on pc us a great example of excellent controller support that lets you do 180s with relative ease if you practice. Coming from a controller user.

I do agree with your design note that the parry system as you described, would be excellent at compensating for bad or average controller support. It sounds interesting.
