It's a bit windy, but these are true feelings of a smasher and his controller... You should all feel something...



I just got my brand spanking new.... 2003... jet black.... gamecube controller... and it has opened up a can of ****ing amazing, wonderful, awesome worms...

For the past year and half or so I've been using this white piece of **** stick garbage controller I got from play-asia. That white pile had me believing that I had lost a good amount of tech skill in a year and a half time period from not playing as much. No shdls, no shine jc shdls, no running turn around shdls, no shine jc shffl'd aerials, no backwards waveshines, minimal moonwalks, poor teching time, horrible power shielding, missed L-Cancels, ****ty wavelands, slow jc shines, ****ty dash dancing... this ****ing white ****ing hunk of plastic had me believing all the aforementioned **** and MORE were my fault, my own degradation of skill from being out of touch with the community for so long...

I decided to finally unpack this beautiful, beautiful black controller after having it for a day, freshly shipped from amazon. I was like a kid on christmas morning. My eyes were wide, my breathing heavy and relatively rapid, my hands a tad bit shaky, and my entire body surging with excitement. **** the plastic was hard to get through... but I got through.... and placed my hands and fingertips upon the pristine relic...

You know that ****ing scene from harry potter where he picks up his wand for the first time and light comes from ****ing nowhere and his hair blows all over the place and that old dude pops a boner staring at the kid... yeah.... **** was like that.

I slipped my 3 fingers of both hands under the smooth, black, rounded edges of the controller's two handles, let my hands set in place, and proceeded to hover my thumbs and index fingers over the buttons and triggers (I had to brace myself for it had been so long since I've held such magnificence...). I gently lowered all respective fingers to their default melee resting positions and was overcame with joy, OVERWHELMING JOY...

The joystick's movement was smooth and not at all tight, a slight bit of resistance from being new but nothing a few hours of melee can't work out, but jesus ****ing christ was it responsive.. The buttons were... well they were just new buttons, nothing special there, BUT THE TRIGGERS... oh the triggers. I could feel the smaller springs hiding just below these plastic triggers... and they were small... they were definitely small... I pressed down my index fingers... slowly feeling the slight resistance as I indented them down to their final resting position... and yes, they were small.

I felt absolutely taken aback... **** I hadn't even plugged in my controller or turned on the GC yet and I was already pre-ejaculating! So just imagine what I felt when I plugged in my controller, turned on the gc, and picked fox and performed my first REAL shdl in over 1 year and a half... perfection (mind you I shdl with the analog stick). The rest of what I did is everything I couldn't do thanks to that ****ing gay *** white piece of **** controller.

So yeah as you can imagine I'm ****ing thrilled and overwhelmed right now at 3:43 in the ****ing am and can't sleep for ****, but it's ok... it's really, really ok.

I know pretty much everyone in this forum has felt the sorrows and joys of their controllers. I thought I'd just share my joy with you. That's about it... yup <3

You can't and it's infuriating!!!

I seriously can't believe how ****ty the white controllers are. I'll be using that controller for my windwaker and metroid prime nostalgia trips now and that's about it (or backup for *******s that don't BTOC).

In total it was a 54 dollar investment worth my while. I am so happy.

the new ones that you linked to are really expensive but there are some really cheap used ones on the same page. Would you recommend getting one of those?

My theory is as long as you have the motherboard and the proper analog stick box, a used one is rock solid as long as you are willing to maybe put in some work if you have to.

Otherwise the legitimacy of these used controllers? Yeah I have no idea.

a rule of controllers is to never take a good analog stick off the board and put it on a new controller

by removing it from the original board you'll **** up/lose/modify all the sensitivity and stuff that made it good in the first place

Oh dude. I've been thinking about it. All fox players should play with Y. I just can't get over using x though. My body just doesn't want to conform to it.

So for now I'll use the analog stick for all my shdl jc shffl'd crap.

Joe we should just go all analog for everything. Freak people out.
