Why is using a Gamecube controller on Smash such a big deal?

I mean jeez, it's hottest trending topic on twitter and on the front page of reddit. New game announcements don't even get this much attention. Am I missing something here? It's just a controller. 

Same reason why sony fans believe that their PS3 controller which is a 1996/7* PS1 design (= tacked on analogs without much thought put into it to counter the N64 controller) is superior to 360 controller.

People are simply used to the controller and it has better analog sticks than the WiiU controller. + no delay because of Wired. Wireless is just dumb for tournaments.

(*1996/7 because of analog stick version original was obviously earler)

I'm a Sony fan and I've never once said that the PS controller was better than the 360 controller. Stop generalizing. 

I never said you said that so stop jumping to conclusions okay?

Its like saying "same reason german sounds angry" or "women buy shoes"  its common sense that not everyone does it  I didnt think I had to state the obvious....

Chill please.
