well, actuaully... they still are and you should never whine in this game. what I really meant to say is that sometimes cotrollers really are whats messing up. heres my story:
It all started when the z button on my favorite controller, a wavebird, simply stopped working. so instead of doing jump-canceled grabs I would do full jumped fairs, and instead of holding the light shield when I held z, my char would put up his shield, let it down, grab, lightshield again, etc. Magnebula came over a week or so after it stopped working and after one match he said to just stop using it so I picked up my other wavebird and played horribly (I could only fastfall my shl half the time ) But I just thought I was having a bad day and didnt think anything of the change I'd made
Then, just yesterday another buddy came over (using my oldest controller, the one I first had when I played smash at launch) and we smashed and it was pathetic! I was doing full jumps instead of wavedashing, I couldnt rshl, I couldnt fast fall my shl's, it was like I regressed my playing skill by a half of a year. I actually got so depressed that I considered giving up falco, I mean, what kind of falco cant shl or waveshine. so we went out bowling with some other friends (which was a moral booster cause I bowled the best games of my life )
but I went home and decided to just play around and fix w/e I was doing, so i just picked up the wired controller and was immedaiately back to being ablke shjl waveshine and combo and now play fine thanks to having a broken in controller again.
the moral of the story: next time your buddy johns about the controller igve him the benefit of the doubt, but if he complains more than once tell him to shut the hell up.
