Current Events > The gamecube controller is straight gabage...

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't fully understand the GC controller boner. For Smash even, the C stick is the only big advantage it gives, but distance wise, it's not exactly closer or easier to use than a standard dual stick controller. Jump button is also further away than the B button than a standard controller, which makes jump b shenanigans harder to do than the standard diamond shaped button set up which has both x and y as jump on default setting.

People are just so used to the GC that they'll use it, but logically there isn't like a huge advantage it gives lol. I guess the A button is bigger? But then the B button is smaller

Only good controller Nintendo has ever made

It would be great if Nintendo released an updated Gamecube controller with a Z button on the left side, a D-pad that isn't trash, and clickable sticks.

It's funny that you say that when this exists

EightTwoSix is probably hey

I hate the GCN controller for most games, yet there are some that I absolutely can't play without it (e.g. Smash). The main problem is the layout of the four right-hand thumb buttons; they're extremely limiting when it comes to rolling your thumb or hitting other buttons while holding one down.

The issue is perhaps best illustrated by the Mega Man X collection on GCN. You can't hold a charge-shot and combo your jump / dash at the same time.

This is an issue on the playstation as well for me, gotta move dash to a shoulder button

Oof thinking the GameCube controller is better than any Xbox controller. Even the Duke

the GameCube controller is better than every Xbox controller

except maybe the Xbone, that one's pretty good

GameCube controller is not better than 360.

Skinny grips, convex sticks, tiny C-stick, tiny D-pad, and only 3 shoulder buttons for some reason.

The 360's fat grip is the worst part about its design, and the octagonal analog design on the GC controller is brilliant and I wish other controllers did it too

3 shoulder buttons was a bizarre decision though

If you have baby hands I guess.

We're not talking about the OG Xbox controller.
