Removing the springs in your controller

[So Fatal]

Does this really help? Does it only help power shielding?

and is there a guide on how to do this anywhere?

and the search is busted so just link me to another thread. Thanks

Removing the springs from your L/R only does one thing.
It makes it so you do not have to push the L/R all the way down to click it. (The buttons are resting on the "click") This makes it so you do not waste frames pressing the triggers all the way down.

So, yes, it can help you PS.

 

[rPSIvysaur]

It will **** your ability to play other GC games tho.

 

[So Fatal]

:3 thats ok I don't play any others really.

[gallax]

No, that's the PS3

 

[So Fatal]

Ask JJ, he told me he did it to his controller.

 

[castorpollux]

yeah i did. it's easy

 

[King~]

you need a tri wing to open the GC controller, and a small regular scredriver to get the cover off the triggers

1. open the controller

2. remove front and board carefully(just dont break it lol)

3. remove screws from covers and remove the cover

4. push the trigger all the way down and remove it from the controller(ALT: you can take the bottom out and remove the spring from there and just place the bottom back in the brackets it rests on)

5. after springs are removed put the cover back on.

6. when putting the front and board back on, carefully line up the pegs on the back of the board with the holes on the trigger(this part will be sticking out after the cover is back on the triggers.) if you dont do this right the triggers wont work.

7. screw back together and enjoy

once you get it open its pretty self explanitory, or easily figured out

its just gettin a tri wing is sometimes inconvient

theres pics on the first page of that thread explaining the peg thing better

 

[So Fatal]

thank youuuuuuuu

Melee? It prevents lightshielding>_>

Although you can have different controllers lol (I do)

You can lightshield with the zbutton.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Remember that it's against the rules to play with modified controllers.

 

[gallax]

fatal, be sure u leave like 3 rings when u cut it. i would recommend cutting about half of the spring then keep taking more off until u like it. if u cut too much off for ur liking then u wont be happy.

what he said. Helps u shield alot faster. Other ppl think its useless

no, these aren't considered modified bc springs dont do anything in brawl. They just get in the way.

yeah me and gallax didnt want the springs taken out completely, so we trimmed them with wire cutters about halfway and tested it till we were happy. All preference

Takes like a week or 2 to get used to it.

 

[So Fatal]

wait, is it better to cut it or just take it out completely?

 

[Toneh]

We like cut springs more but try no springs 1st. We didnt like how close it rested on the button. Its w/e u like

 

[o-Serin-o]

This is Brawl ffs, not Melee.

You don't really neeeeeed this.

 

[Kewkky]

It gets in the way? Then YES it gets in the way. By removing/shortening them, you're giving yourself an edge over every other person. It gets in their way too, why shouldn't it get in your way? What makes a person so special that they have to buy something Nintendo made, open it up, tinker with it (AKA modify) and give them an edge over everyone else?

If you take your controller and change it in any way as to make playing the game easier, then you're modifying it. And that's not allowed, just as using controllers with turbo-buttons in fighting game tourneys isn't allowed because of the unfair advantage they gain over the rest of the players.

And if you guys think that it's the other players' fault for not doing the same, then explain to them why turbo controllers aren't allowed either, even though they can fork over a couple of bucks for a just-as-easily obtainable turbo controller which is easier than mustering the courage to open the controller up and running the risk of breaking some part of it or losing a screw or two.

 

[joeplicate]

i'm kind of curious as to how you would really use a turbo controller to give yourself an edge in tournament

 

[So Fatal]

d00d press 1 button for dacus. hell yea

Removing springs from controllers have been one of those things that are not hampered on by most people.

The modified controller rule is more in relation to replicating inputs perfectly (i.e. the inputs required to do ics cg maybe?). As someone said, turbo controllers.

turbo would be good for mashing out of grabs basically

 

[gallax]

turbo button for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its ur choice really if u want to use springs or not or cut them. everyone can do it with the standard gamecube controller. if there is a turbo button then hello, its not a standard controller and has been modified in some fashion.

 

[Kewkky]

Tampering with your controller makes it a modified controller, just like how tampering with your Wii makes it a modified Wii.

And of course, people have failed to understand what I tried to say by bashing at my example instead of just swerving around it and into the message. How much clearer can it be?

MLG allows it, therefore no one else cares.

Impractical method is impractical.

 

[joeplicate]

well it's not quite like you can drop 15 bucks or whatever at your local gamestop and buy a controller that will multishine for you

the most they usually do is spam one button while turbo's on, not replicate a whole series of inputs

i understand the sentiment behind not wanting modded controllers for competition, but i still think the idea of using a madcatz turbo controller to best the competition is pretty funny

Reflex will still grab break faster than you

turbo controllers for brawl is crazy.

on the upside, it allows moves that require multiple inputs (such as marth's side B and multi hitting ftilts like snake and mk) come out super fast and super easy by simply holding the button.

on the downside, you can't do things charge a smash attack or stuff that requires you to hold a button, like hold snake's grenades.

that downside, however, is under the assumption that we're talking about the turbo controllers that have one turbo button that makes all of the buttons turbo. I don't know if there's a GC controller that allows separate buttons to go turbo and others to stay regular, which would allow the greatest advantage for any given situation.

Snitch? More like a reminder. Learn your vocabulary... That wasn't even a constructive comment.

they sell them at gamestop, i got it used and it was the last one, but now it broke because i set it to every button one day to out spam a pit user. i remember if you set it to z you can instathrow automatically, which was amazing

QFT, I have to see him play in person someday XD

Removing the springs is perfectly legal. This was discussed before.

2. Players may not use a controller that has been modified in such a way that it alters their Character’s abilities and/or in-game mechanics. Players may not use a controller that has been modified to include a Turbo button. Players are allowed to make cosmetic changes to their controller, however, Major League Gaming reserves the right to deny the use of any controller suspected of providing an unfair competitive advantage. (Note Removing Springs is legal as it does not provide an ufair competitive advantage)

It's legal where it matters, the end.
