    Does it have analogue triggers? (Sorry if that was mentioned in the vid, I can't remember). Or differently worded: does this function as a general GC controller alternative or is it just meant to optimize Smash controls at the cost of regular GC controls?

      You could always buy the RetroFighters Warrior Adapter. That device lets you use a legitimate GameCube controller on either PC or Switch. I had this and the 8bitdo version. Got rid of the 8bit in favor of the RetroFighters branded one, mostly for its Wavebird support.

    Definitely won't be using the S button for Smash attacks out of competitive pride but a short hop button has been a LONG time coming. I'm sure plenty of people would have something negative to say about not doing short hops the old fashioned way but I've always found it odd that there's no option to take one of the two jump buttons that do the exact same thing and make it a short hop button. I Just think it's weird that there are three different jump input options and no short hop button option.

    As nice as it is to have extra options for our Switch this controller is a very hard pass for me. I like the shape and all, but if you're going to replicate a GameCube style layout to play Smash Bros with then you need to make the face buttons in the exact layout of the controller its trying to replicate. This one doesn't do that at all, its layout is that of a pro controller with an extra button for certain moves and an oversized A and B button. Having turbo and a button dedicated to using attack combinations also makes it illegal for tourney use so its not going to get much love from the hardcore Smash community. That's really a shame to, I love Retro Fighters controllers for a bunch of systems and this one to me is the very first one that I feel truly missed its mark. :(

      @teneesh3376 3 роки тому

      That's fair. Though personally, I don't mind either layout. Both tend to be interchangeable to me. I guess I do prefer the PS layout cause the dpad is a little more comfortable maybe. But I don't have a lot of controllers with the xbox layout that has a good dpad. So it's hard to tell if I prefer the layout or not

    @LS-td4yf 3 роки тому +6

    This thing seems like a cool concept until you realize all of the features are very easy to preform in the first place. Like you could just have smash stick on instead of tilt stick on or just do what me and a lot of other competitive players do and just A plus a direction for tilts. Also if you didn’t know just press A and jump at the same time to do a shorthop aerial. And just press 2 jump button at the same time to do a shorthop. But it seems hard to do on this controller compared to like a pro controller because of the button placement

    • @mf_dva
      @mf_dva 3 роки тому

      A lot of us already know that but why not just have a dedicated short hop button instead of two jump buttons that do the exact same thing? It's like they couldn't think of a purpose for one of the buttons and just put a jump input twice so every button had something assigned to it.

We already have good GameCube style controllers for switch. Also a lot of these extra functions aren't very useful, and not tournament legal anyways.
