I felt the Gamecube had the worst button layout of any major console by a current manufacturer, ever. Try playing 2D fighters or even 2D platformers more advanced than Super Mario Bros with that thing, they're practically unplayable. Also, the tiny Z trigger was easy to miss.

There's a reason no other controller was made like it.

I played Soul Calibur 2 and Melee just fine on the Gamecube. Didn't have any problems with those or any other of my games.

On the other hand, they made QTE's much easier for me, as one could feel the right button just by it's shape (and the fact that the button prompts also generally had the shape of the button). I always needed to look down for these on Playstation (I can never remember which shape is where), but never on the Gamecube.

Whenever my husband asks me how to do something in a Playstation game, I'll often say something like "Oh you need to press B then Y" and he looks at me like "There's no B or Y here!!!" "Oh sorry, X then Square".
