        50% of the autists who sperg about the cube and it's controller being the greatest are literally the same trannies and flurries you see at conventions. The other half are the smelly, the unwashed, the (You).

          It's the greatest for games made for it. Attempting to play Super Monkey Ball or F-Zero GX on anything else will only result in a lesser experience.

            and not for any others. Third party devs hated the cube layout.

            In what way do the peanut buttons make double presses difficult or impossible?

            I think you're missing the point on this one. There's a lot of games that didn't release on the Cube since the controller layout just didn't work with the game's control scheme. And you have other games like Twin Snakes which had really compromised controls compared to PS2 or Xbox.

              The controller is simply the best for its games. No game is best played on the PS2 controller.

              While this may be true it's literally just a poor job on the part of the developers. I play all my modern controller games on my gamecube controller and just bind the missing buttons intelligently. A double tap here, long press there and it all works fine.

      Gamecube controller has the best ergonomics, best triggers, best button placement, c-stick nub is great for any game that doesn't require you to babysit the stick, octagonal gate is far superior to a circular gate.

      All an updated version would need is a second Z button and the ability to click the sticks

          All the replicas are chink garbage and usually don't even have analogue triggers

          >Gamecube controller has the best ergonomics
          Unless you have to use the d-pad, c-stick or press x+y/x+b in any game (many games require this)
          >best triggers
          Awkward sliding mechanism, Dreamcast and xbox are far better.
          >best button placement
          Tony Hawk games require you to press B+X. At the same time. That's a fricking nightmare.
          >c-stick nub is great
          For nothing. Half the controller is unusable.

          it is for any game that doesn't use the c-stick for camera control, which no game should anyway. Tank controls are better for first person games, action games only need a lockon/camera reset button freeing up the stick for more actions

                Pro wrestling was at the peak of its popularity at that time. It would be fair to say games in that genre defined the generation along with platformers and run and gun games.

      Poo controller has atrocious buttons, takes way too long for my thumb to go from button to button. I should be able to press them all by tilting my thumb from the default position, the moment I have to pull a lower thumb muscle to press the button that should be A and the one that should be X, It's a shit controller. Dpad is better though. I never minded the gc one

    It's just absolutely awful. The central A button means that it's super awkward to press chords of buttons at the same time, the D-pad and C-stick are horrible and the whole things is stupidly limited and overly simplified so multi-plats are worse to play on it. It's yet another reason why the GC is basically "the thing you play Melee on".

      Its always super awkward to press chords. Theres a reason that despite a million years of keyboard games with access to an entire hand of fingers only a small selection will ever have functions tied to chording multiple keys, beyond WD=diagonal. A good game simply makes it so that you dont have to do this.

      • 8 months ago

        Chording is getting more and more common in games but outside of fighting games it's always spread across multiple fingers. BotW, MGS and DS all sprint to mind.

        double presses are either difficult or impossible. Third party game devs are forced into weird control restrictions.

        makes it useless for anything that requires its use, God forbid anything that requires qc/hc movement.

            hes actually right on that one, although its not the shape but the position of the b button thats the issue
            sliding from b to y or y to b is painful and doing it with x is impossible unless you claw, which is why all those smash players have hand/wrist issues
            and honestly the gap between b and y is just BARELY too large, its like a couple mm larger than the gap between x and y, but it hugely impacts the ergonomics and function of the controller
            so you could easily make a better gamecube controller by either rotating the x/y position toward b or moving b up/changing the shape of b to match the other exterior buttons
