Best controller ever?
>pic related
i would agree, and i say that as someone who grew up with and loved the ps2.
gamecube controller is flawless.
>>320335236
GameCube and the PlayStation controllers are the best. I had a 360, and while the controllers are aesthetic as fuck, the controllers are meh.
Needs another shoulder button and for the c-stick and d-pad to be slightly bigger, but for the most part, yes.
>>320335407
I guess it would have trouble with FPS's, but for the games being developed at the time and even today's non FPS games it's great.
>Z button uncomfortable to push
>missing a shoulder button
>analog sticks hurt my thumbs after a bit of play
>B too far from X, Y
If it wasn't for my hands going full retard when I try to play Smash Bros with something else, I'd drop it completely
>>320335236
when will this meme finally end?
>>320336578
when a better controller beats the GC.
the lunar xbone one is a contender, but that shit is the price of a full game
>>320335236
Why won't this meme die? The GC was a horrible controller.
Shit button layout
Shit trigger
Shit D pad
Shit C stick
Cheap plastic feel
The thing was ass, and fags here only love it because the GC was probably their first console.
I consider the Gamecube controller to be heavily flawed, actually. Here is a list:
>bulky shoulder buttons that make Z uncomfortable to reach, since your finger is usually resting on R, and moving your finger from R to Z takes more "efford" than on other controllers due to the "dent" in the R button that your finger is resting in.
This can be avoided if you are resting the index finger on Z and the middle finger on R. However I personally consider that uncomfortable.
>only one Z button, thus limitting potential gameplay options
>short and slippery sticks, especially the C-stick
>sticks can't be pressed (however this was not a standard back then)
>only one button for options (Start)
>tiny and thus imprecise d-pad, starting Nintendo's trend of having tiny fucking d-pads on their controllers and also handhelds (ignoring the original DS)
>The button layout is heavily limiting and only really works for games that are especially designed for it. It is not possible to press any button combination that is not involving the A-button. Compared to the traditional rhombus button layout, it also takes more efford to press the buttons quickly after one another, since the way from X to B or even from X to Y is way longer.
This can, again, be prevented with a claw grip, but that is even more uncomfortable, especially if you try to rest one finger on both right shoulder buttons each.
>the cable is way too short for some reason
Everytime I post this list I get no replies, but I might aswell try again here.
It definitely the most comfy controller, the way your hands fit into it is unmatched
>>320335498
I disagree, 360 controllers are superior in almost every way except for the d-pad and maybe the face buttons.
I say this as someone who prefers the ps3.
>>320337149
>tiny and thus imprecise d-pad
Come to think of it, were there any major 2d fighters released for gamecube? (not counting smash, obviously)
>>320338915
Yes. I actually heard people say "Well there were no 2D fighters on hte Cube anyway so you didn't need a bigger d-pad.", as if that was Nintendo's thought process when designing the thing.
>>320337149
I dunno, it definitely isn't the perfect controller but i enjoy it a lot still. I enjoy the C sticks feeling and the d-pad is at least usable, though the controller could definitely do with some more middle buttons and a longer cord. And honestly for a Smash game I don't think you could do better.
>>320339449
I think you can do better for Smash if Y and B were closer together, so that you can jump and on the same frame start a special attack.
I know, pro players can do that, but I am not a pro player, and it is still an unnecessary flaw of the controller.
Also, grab on Z is junk.
>>320339895
Yeah I'm not a fan of z, i bind grab to L if I can help it.
>>320339895
That's why we use command grabs anon.
PS4 WOULD be the best if it weren't for its shitty build quality. Otherwise I'd probably go for an Xbox 360 controller.
>>320335236
tbhh
>>320340085
For me shield will always be L and grab will always be R, simply because I played Smash 64 so goddamn much.
>>320340141
Not every character has that.
>>320340186
Yeah, it's cool.
>>320338915
Capcom vs. SNK 2
And I feel like there was a Samurai Showdown collection, but I'm not sure.
This desu
>>320335621
Actually I used to play the living fuck out of Night fire and it worked fine for me. Actually for a while I couldn't get used to playing fps with an xbox controller. Didn't feel right compared to the gamecube.
>>320340186
>PC adapter coming in the mail soon
The pro controller is like hand sex.
>>320335236
>>320340451
>>320340591
>Hands get sweaty
>Shiny plastic feels like mold
>>320336578
It'll only get worse because after the Gamecube nostalgia kiddie era we're currently in comes the 360 nostalgia.
>>320338740
>>320340228
>>320340297
shit taste xbots
>>320336786
$60 is the standard for new controllers
ill just leave this here
>>320335236
with that tiny japanese limp dick control pad? I think not.
>>320338915
there was capcom vs snk 2 EO but that's the only one i can remember
>>320336786
even the N64 controller was better.
I know the NGC controller.
>cord too short
>handles too small
>c-stick is atrocious
>>320341053
That d-pad.
>>320336786
GC was worst controller of that generation, and still really bad.
Probably only things worse are the NES1 controller and gen1/2 controllers like the C64.
Shit was a misshapen ball of plastic that only manlets find comfortable.
>>320341231
I thought that the GC controller was perfect when I was 10
Now it's small as shit and I can barely even hold it properly
>>320340451
I have one and its pretty good?
>>320341956
the question mark was a typo
>>320341943
>having child sized fingers on a child sized controler
>>320341956
Yeah, it is good
>>320341407
Holy shit your hands are huge
>>320342193
Just like my HUGE WEINER
they mostly do the same shit so it doesn't matter which is better except in cases where you need more buttons (like for PCSX2 where pressing down the analog sticks or the extra shoulder button would make the gamecube controller useless).
>>320342308
post picks of that big fat long dick of yours so i can jack off
>>320341943
This picture is retarded. I always my finger on the button that I'm going to use the most. And for most Gamecube games that is the A button.
>>320341407
>>320342193
I was sixteen when the GCN dropped, and I've already been a really tall/big kid. I was 5'10" at age eleven.
The GCN controller is literally for manlets and babbies.
Oh fuck off you meme loving shits its this one, followed closely by the 360 controller. Now shut the fuck up holy Christ.
>>320342503
I always rest my finger in the middle of the rhombus.
Anyway, I think the point that anon was trying to make (or the point I am making now anyway) is that design wise you have to design your game around the gamecube buttons because you won't be able to use all four of them in a quick alternating manner.
>>320342503
Great for certain games like F-Zero, horrible for ones involving button combos like Soul Calibur.
>>320342459
My phones dead so here's an artistic representation
>octagon thumbsticks cavities
>good
>>320335236
Real talk: I love the GC controller but it was far from perfect. The face buttons had great arrangement, the left analogue stick was tight as fuck, and the shoulder triggers were inspired (mostly.) But I'll never ever praise that god awful c-stick, their shitty vestigial d-pad, or their equally vestigial z button.
The world needs a GC controller sequel that does what the 360 controller did to the Xbox controller S.
its shit for fighting game and 2d games
shit dpad
shit triggers
shit button layout
>>320344153
>shit for fighting games
yea but to be fair fighting games aren't fun.
2d games you have a point though
>>320344936
>to be fair fighting games aren't fun
scrub: the post
>>320343401
Nintendo includes the D-pad on every new console they produce. This is because they want to keep the patent for their D-pad technology active. You'll notice that the Xbox controllers have a terrible d-pad and are known for such. Playstation 3's d-pad is actually 4 separate buttons and does not feel as great as sliding your finger across the Nintendo d-pad's button face. As vestigial as the d-pad is on this controller, it was necessary to preserve the patent and maintain Nintendo's dominant and superior d-pad technology.
>>320345254
idk man i like a lot of games i'm bad at but fighting games are really boring
>>320336482
>analog sticks hurt my thumbs after a bit of play
Are your thumbs made of tissue paper?
if you were talking about the razorblades that are the edges of the dualshit 4, I'd understand
>>320340186
I agree, but I can name some flaws.
>Non analog triggers
> rumble is occasionally lackluster
> not merging power and home into one button
apart from that, it's flawless.
The triggers are also a matter of opinion and only matter for driving games, but just feel a little cheap.
Dat 80hr battery life though
>>320340297
I like the 360 controller a lot but it's not without it's flaws
>buttons feel a little cheap and squishy
>dpad dear god the dpad
>wireless requires AA batteries
>connecting to pc requires addon
>super fragile
>analog sticks are shit-tier. Although you can replace them with nicer ones like I did.
>>320340591
I've got a super generic bluetooth adapter I bought for like $1 and if you set it up right, it binds it to
Xinput. God tier pc controller
>>320344936
you have shit taste.
>>320335236
Sure isn't that piece of shit.
>>320342741
>garbage tier shoulder buttons
>AA batteries
>meme rumble triggers
I'll give it to you it's not bad, but it's second to the wii u pro
>>320342827
The whole point of combos on modern controllers is to make performing actions artificially harder in the first place. Seems rather Sisyphean to design a controller around making deliberately obfuscated inputs easier.
