I still have 2 GC 1st party controller is great condition, 1 that is ok, and one that I will make who ever I like least use when we play : )

There is no way I'd want to touch this game with anything other than a Gamecube controller and I've always cringed at the thought of the other control options.

Thanks :P 

 Nice trolling on the last generation controller.  You should point out that sony's controller have barely changed over 3 whole generation.  And now they're bringing back a "last gen" feature again!

lol, so does this mean that everybody with a GC controller can pwn some Wii-mote/classic controller noobs now!

ZOMG!!!!!

-Ah, the days of listening to Counter-Strike players....

Why is there a specific jump button? What's wrong with pressing up?  

I always found pressing up on the stick VERY limiting. I always mashed Y or X, whichever i actually pressed when i mashed the outside ring area of the controller lol (Y if i consciously jump).

 Its much easier to short hop (small jump) with the jump button.  Its also much much easier to short hop while moving forward the whole time as opposed to losing some time where pressing jump and directing your character in the direction you desire.  Furthermore, using the separate button also allows you to turn off tap jumping (finally!) so you can perform UpBs and tilt upas much without any risk accidently jumping.

i only have one wavebird, but it is by far the best non-motion-control-controller ever. and i will play that thing to death on ssbb. i wouldn't even think of using anything but the cube controller for smash.

Why? Their controllers suck major balls.

My Brother had one once. (WWF Edition from Blockbuster was $10 cheaper) Here's what went down (Just read the bold if you want the short version of it:

1. Every button was made of 8th-rate chinese plastic.
2. Buttons were sometimes unresponsive, especially Z button (cuz it only had 1 connecter unlike Ninty's 2)
3. It ATE 2 Batteries more than the cookie monster could eat a HANDFUL of cookies.
4. The thumbpad fell off within 2 weeks.
5. The Analog & C-stick couldn't detect which way you went properly. Let's put it this way. It was easier to press the B button, followed by the A button (Random), hoping to get the right character, than it was worth him, or me sometimes when I didn't feel like barely nudging the stick nanometer by nanometer to stuggle through the character select screen on Melee.
6. The Controller also had to be connected each time you plugged it in, because It ran on 2.4 Ghz wireless.
7. With all 3 other Wavebird ports in, the MadCatz Reciever was extremely unsemmetrical (it was about 75% left, 25% right), so you had to plug it into 1st port.
8. Buttons started sticking after like 2 - 3 weeks. The Ninty toothbrush technique did nothing.
9. The analouge stick stopped working after about 4 weeks (the anolog stick got missaligned from it's MISS-SHAPED pin . I took it apart and fixed it, hoping that that was the last of my problems
10. The Z button stopped working after about 1 month, then, to my dismay broke after about 4 additional pushes.
11. My brother got pissed off, broke open the plastic case by pulling it apart with little to no effort, the screw threads sucked, and now I don't even know why I bothered using the screwdriver before, as It came open along the seal of the 2 halves of the controller. Then he messed around with it's innerworkings, Kept the analouge Sitck, C-Stick, D-pad and Rumble motor, and THREW IT AWAY.

I do not support companies that make crap for controllers, and I never will. I've bought Intec Memory cards, and wouldn't mind buying MadCatz Memory cards because It's EXTREMELY hard to screw up on how to make a Memory card.

However, I will NEVER again buy a controller from MadCatz. They suck hairy donkey balls. I'm suprised my dance pad hasn't broken yet.

Anyway, so If anyone has any GC controller reccomendations from Decent companies (anyone tried the GameStop one? I don't know if they have a wireless one.)
