The Pursuit For The Perfect Controller

What happened to your nails… is it some kind of nail cancer!?😢

Where can we buy this phob contrôler ?

you like cs?

I played with dozens of these controllers and only got stuck drift once

This is an amazing video, very indepth and interesting for an outsider to the melee game

I just want a controller that never gets drift.

If you guys want a decent phob just get a drop in phob which you can find online from 80-100$ cheaper and all you need is a scrap controller to get a great controller

The fingernail paint doesn't work

Another reason other than being cracked at the game to mod a controller is just because it's super fun! I love making my own stuff, have built my own pc keyboard and headphones in the past, and play smash like a tryhard casual. I am currently decking out my smash 4 gcc both because I enjoy smash, and because I find it fun. Just thought I'd mention my own perspective because you guys made it sound like getting a decked out controller is pointless unless you're taking smash seriously. I get that it kinda is, and it's overkill as can be, but for some, its not about the controller, but the experience of making it.

I'm just using a ps4 controller

Of you're going to paint your nails atleast make it look nice

I really like your fingernails :)

Hear me out: GameCube layout with a bigger D-Pad, but the Nunchuck’s C & Z buttons as your back buttons on both the left & right sides of the controller. Not sure what it would cost to create/build but I know it’d be super comfy for me.

the take away here is the gamecube controller is so awful that ppl have resorted to modding their controllers. lol.
it would be so embarassing to lose to someone who uses an awful 10$ pelican controller.
i mean i wish they'd remake the gamecube controller out of nicer material with a better weight, less clacky shoulder buttons and that icky half assed z button. i'm amazed that guy had his gamecube controller for 20 years i had over 20 controllers. they all developed problems sticking buttons, buttons not working like ACTUAL problems not like whiny tornement high level gaming problems.

What’s the song used in the intro?

taht's great... let's see Paul allen's controller...

Why 2 C sticks?

I don’t see why there is so much hatred of the Boxx. The gamecube controller wasn’t designed for consistency or competitive melee while the boxx was. in competitive rowing we aren’t still using wooden symmetrical oars because the design has evolved to be more consistent and functional

Lost me at the fingernails... Screaming I hate my mom

It’s crazy that a controller for melee costs more than 1st place payouts for tournaments

The boxx looks CRAZY

Me who plays with Joycons from the thrift store [the left one has stick drift allowing for perfect Shield Drops] for $20.00 👁️👄👁️

There's no such thing as a "perfect" controller, because its a completely subjective topic. If there ever was one, it would have to be mouse and keyboard as a controller.

Where can i go to have a PlayStation 2 controller custom modded? There's a game i play from time to time and i feel that the controller is holding me back from kicking butt perfectly.

i thought the gc controller was dead- glad to see its actually quite reviered. its very comfy for games made for it. i got 3 second hand and canibalizsed 2 knock-offs with huge analogue dead zones to replace the button rubbers except the d-pad that didn't like the firmer upgrade!

“You can tell it’s a box because of the way it is” lmfao

A GameCube style controller is hands down the best 3D platform, action/adventure, sports, and rpg controller ever made. The only two genres I can think of that I prefer a different controller is FPS and fighting games

I'll give you one better: Melee controls suck.

Jump is up lol.

What about ultimate :(

It's kinda like the people who want to be a bowler, you could go and just rent a bowling ball and be casual, or you can buy your own custom ultra top of the line bowling ball and Shoes and be top tier. Being a pro can be expensive, but pays off if you're successful

What hell is with ugly trend of guys wearing black nail polish, I get dirt under my nails too, take the time to clean em.

Serious helath issues from playing smash...bro...

Isn't the box controller basically a keyboard with less keys?

I wish that controllers were more accessible cost wise. I also wish there wasnt a war on people who need to use alternative controllers to comfortably play

“And boxes are tournament legal”

For now

The gamecube controller is so much more comfortable than it looks.

It just molds into my hands

Jmook will be examining this shortly

Wait, people still playing melee?
And is able to online?

bruh your nails are distracting lmao

Man, one day I might get a box, mostly because if I have to MOD my GameCube controller, then yeah I’m getting one of those one day.

i wanna see someone kick everyone's ass with just an old OEM controller, top of the top with just their old childhood gamecube controller because i'd think it would be funny and somewhat poetic

The gamecubre controller is trash in general

You’re all wrong. The wii nunchuck is the superior way to play smash

So is melee technically pay to win

Jesus, I could smell the sweat from this video.

I just use the platinum one that came with my platinum gamecube

Xbox controllers are the best for shooters. Feel good, form to the hands well. And can play other games well.

Who woulda thought this game would’ve gone this far since it came out. I remember staying up to play the All-Star mode like it was yesterday.

i see that hair style and black nail polish. happy pride
