I'm sorry, I like my wavebird as much as anybody. But the Wii's Classic Controller Pro was a way better overall design than the GC controller. The worst things about the GC controller, even though it was still a decent controller:
1. Tiny ass d-pad. horrible for fighting games.
2. Tiny ass "z trigger", hidden away in front of the R button. Just not intuitive at all.
3. The analog L and R buttons having SO much resistance. That alone was absurd, and unnecessary. For games like Mario Kart or Zelda, etc., where you find yourself holding down R a lot, your finger gets fuckin' tired and stiff as hell after awhile.
