Smash Wii U Does the Gamecube controller analog have better accuracy than the Pro contoller/Gamepad

[Xperious]

I didn't see a "questions" thread so I decided to make a new thread, If this is considered spam, I apologize.

Anyway, to elaborate on my question:
I use the Gamepad since I don't have a pro controller or Gamecube adapter and sometimes I find that I will accidentally push the analog stick the wrong way slightly, causing my attack to be different than what I wanted (Like accidentally using dair instead of fair) causing me to SD or become open to attack.

I notice the Gamecube controller has "grooves" around the analog stick to help guide it to one of 8 directions, and I was wondering if it makes that much of a difference or am I just more scrubby than I thought?


Again, not trying to spam, I didn't know where else to post this.

It makes a huge difference, but if you're used to not having them there, it's completely possible to use the gamepad and consistently hit the right direction. I suffer the same issue though with the gamepad. Trying to get a wii u pro controller.

I feel that the Game Cube will be better since it has those "grooves." I find myself SDing sometimes and even miss-inputting using the Pro, where as I almost never make a mistake using the Game Cube.

Does Zelda's Uspecial become harder to special

It makes a huge to , but if you're used to not having them there, it's completely possible to use the gamepad and consistently hit the right direction. I suffer the same issue though with the gamepad. Trying to get a wii u pro controller.

I used to use the Gamecube controller back in melee but I don't have the adapter to connect the to my Wii u. Does the grooves make it harder to teleport consistantly with a charactor like Zelda? What I mean is, do the "grooves" make it harder to teleport with Uspecial to the correct location or does it only allow you to teleport to 8 directions?

For example, I use if Zelda's Bair when trying to get back on stage, does it teleport to wherever the analog is pointing or is it tied to one of the 8 directions of the analog grooves?

As someone who moved on to the Wii U Pro I can say I like the Wii U Pro better than the gamecube in every way. More comfortable, easier inputs, faster inputs.... I still miss the octagonal rig though, it does make the inputs easier for those specific moves. I am waiting on someone to come out with some octagonal rig faceplate or the Wii U Pro.

Do you know about the Hori Battle Pad? It's like a combination of the Gamecube controller and Pro controller.

It has virtual throwback, so I wouldn't get it.

As for the GC Vs. Pro Controller analogs, the gamecube one is more accurate because it has indents around the analog stick for precise accuracy while the Pro Controller is just a circle.

Thats what I thougt but didn't know if there was an adantage to usng the pro controller. Guess I'll invest in a gc adapter.

I am personally using a Pro Controller but will be converting to either Game Cube or HORI Battle Pad whenever they are in stock.

Personally, I like using the Pro Controller because of the C Stick being next to the jump button. It's not something I myself worry about until I play megaman and I wanna throw angled metal blades. It still is possible but a little hard to do at first.

Don't get the Hori Pad. If you can't find a gamecube adapter and you're stuck on having the get a wiimote plug in controller get the original classic controller. It has the octagonal analog stick sticks. The reason I say not to get the Hori pad is because it has virtual throwback, meaning when you flick the control stick you'll do perfect pivots or run in places. Its not like you can make a use out of it either because it's inconsistent.

i use the wii u pro controller. its so comfortable and works so well i have no intention of getting a GC adapter. i dont feel like i have any disadvantage against those who have a GC controller. also it fits my hands well and they never get tired while im grinding for hours haha
