So does everyone here use a GameCube controller too?
i try to, but i had to use the gamepad when we played

Why?

I actually like using the gamepad, the only problem I have is the shield/grab thing. But apparently that can be changed.

there has to be some design that hasn't been invented yet that would be optimal for playing this game

I have to reach further on the game pad so I do certain things just a bit slower than I could do, and in Smash that matters. Not a method I like to play.

How do you like it? Do you think it's better than the Gamecube controller?

I think it's actually tournament illegal to use anything else other than the GameCube controller. Not sure. CK can confirm that.

What? Why?


Care to weigh in?

When you say "tournament illegal", you mean at actual physical tournament locations, right? Not online tournaments that SSB4 provides?

I don't see myself ever going to those, so that's okay.

Pretty sure Pro controllers are the only alternative actually.

Havent played Smash 4 with a gamecube controller. I expected to try and play Melee's speed if I was using one so I just stuck with the controller I had. If I get another job soon I'll get the adapter and buy one finally.

From what I'm hearing, the Pro controller isn't half bad.

It's the gamepad's button layout, but way easier to reach.

I won't say it's better than the gamecube controller though since I haven't used it on Sm4sh.
But it's clearly the more popular choice than the Pro controller.

Yeah,  wireless controllers (Gamepad, 3DS, Wiimote) tend to be banned at tourneys, the ones in my city included. Pro controller is allowed, however.

In terms of Fox players to watch, the two best ones out there right now are Larry Lurr and Megafox. Megafox actually happens to be in my city and we're good friends, we're heading to Shockwave together this summer. Me and him played some online friendlies tonight so if you wanna see some replays of us playing, I can send them (albeit our play was somewhat sloppy due to it being online >_>).

What's the general concensus on their quality? Are they a viable option, or is the GC controller still recommended?

I'll watch them if you send them to me.

I use the Gamecube controller so I honestly cannot answer that question accurately

Dabuz is top 3 in the world.

I love it when you guys find stuff for me to watch.

Anyways, Rocket, I tried out the Y button for jumping -- holy hell. Once I get used to it, it's going to change my game completely.

Right now I have X to grab and Y to jump with joystick jumping and vibration turned off.

What region are you in? There could be some weekly tournaments in your area.

I live in Toronto. Though I hardly think I'm tournament ready.

Like right now, I just wanna get good at Smash so I can compete with you guys and my friends (though you guys are waaaay better than my IRL amigos).

It all depends on how much I improve over the next couple of months.

Until I finally did that, I'd consistently do a double jump when I didn't want to and miss so many opportunities.

I don't play with people on Smash regularly so I'm always up for it.

Sick, dude. I don't have much of a life so I reckon I'll be playing this quite a bit. Especially considering there's so many characters I still haven't played as.

Just wish there was a way for us to communicate during matches for maximum improvement.
