Generic GameCube controllers

[Greed-checkTheTek]

Does anybody actually use those generic GameCube controllers in tournaments? I bought my little brother a white generic GameCube controller off eBay for 6$, the really cheap kind.I tried using it against a level 9 marth and I got completely rekt.I couldn't wave dash because the shoulder buttons are awkward and soft feeling but I must add that the analog stick makes it very easy to dash dance.The buttons themselves are also very awkward feeling but I got a bit used to it after a few matches and can now defeat the level 9 CPU's with ease.The official purple GameCube controller that I own is much easier to use than the generic white, but does anyone use this controller consistently? For me it's impossible, just a thought.

Nobody does. It's widely known that any controller that's not an official one is terrible for smash.

Yeah, the white ones on amazon that you can also find in the site's store (advertising lol) are about $30

The Smashboards store sells normal controllers . I plan on getting like 4 of them soon. Although I have no idea how the Smashboards store gets their controllers.

Man I was thinking why dont people just buy these controllers they're so cheap lol ,glad I didn't use these at tournaments, you get what you pay for & I'd rather spend the extra cash than set myself up for controller failure, I still would love to see someone be technical and good with the generics though THAT would be a sight to see.

That's kind of like saying "I'd love to see someone perform heart surgery with a butter knife and duct tape." I mean, professionals use professional equipment. I'd love to see how Hax would perform with a fight stick tailored for melee.

Kadano made a youtube video about the new smash controllers and the adapter as well.
