| Illusion said: Another one worth mentioning was the original N64 inverted trident controller. I love that controller so much. I always held it in a really weird way using three fingers to grip the analog stick, but it gave me a big advantage over everybody else who held it the normal way. I actually even managed to beat a semi-competitive gamer at Smash who would cream me in everything else including Melee and Brawl and I think it is mainly because of how I held that awesome controller: I just had so much control over slight movements of the analog stick. |
I kinda loved and hated it back then but mostly because the D-pad was unresponsive compared to the SNES pad. The analog stick was super loose but it was still okay.
I'd say the bigger issue was that there was just no way to hold it comfortably and easily each every button. You always had to sacrifice something-- the left shoulder and d-pad or z-button and analog. And lots of people just held it wrong. People would be playing Mario 64 with one hand on the left grip and their thumb on the control stick. It was disgusting to witness!
