Have a lucky controller?

[HideousBeing]

So I'm sure a lot of players have a favorite controller that they use. What does your controller look like? Analog stick wear, grimy all over?

My favorite controller is the same one that came with my GC originally. It's got little of the grooves left on the analog stick, and a big slit in the rubber. I've given up trying to keep it clean- after one thirty minute session of smashing its all sweaty and got grime where your hands grip it. Sweat on my controller I actually used to consider a huge distraction, but I now realize that it doesn't matter if your hands and the controller are a bit sweaty. It used to be a common John of mine.

I personally prefer the regular orange (spice?) gamecube controller. I don't know, I just like it better than the purple ones. >.>

I used to love the orange controller, then I switched to black. It looks like it's in perfect shape, though the A button seems to be bopping up a bit.

I don't think it's gotten THAT dirty...except for the joystick. >_<

i bought the cube i use second-hand off some guy; he threw in several games and four controllers (two standard, two wavebirds that suck) and a while of ******* around i found that i really liked this one he had painted to be dark blue on the front and green on the back (though the handles are starting to chip and you can see the black in some parts by now)

My platinum controller I got in 2001 <3

I use it for tournaments, hasn't any grip on the control stick, massive battle scars on the back, and somehow the c-stick was mauled...

too bad it doesnt work =p

I like my original controller; I don't know if it's just me (probably is) but it always feels weird playing a different controller. My friends say that it's weird playing with my controllers too. There are probably slight differences that we just get used to (like how fast the control stick goes back to its neutral position if you let it go, do the buttons stick a little, etc.)

My controller has a yellow shoelace on it. Very lucky.

Eh, I don't have a lucky one, but the one I do have is so old it's about to fall apart. The R button doesnt click anymore, the C-stick is inresponsive sometimes, and the yellow plastic/rubber is worn down. My control stick sits almost off to the side, doesn't really have a neutral position anymore. And the paint is worn as heck. I fear the thought of breakin in a new controller tho.

My original purple controller. The analogue stick has been worn down so you can barely see the circular ridges, and has several bite marks (don't ask.) The A button is slightly screwy and the c-stick's rubber covering is threatening to come off. I have pressed the L and R buttons so many times you can see scrape marks where they've rubbed against the body of the controller.
It's my favorite controller because the slightly dodgy spring on the Y button makes it easier to short hop, plus there's the sentimental value.

I use 4 controllers depending on my mood. My main one is platinum front with a clear back and green LED lights. My second favorite is my Pearl White controller (that the king took >.>). third would be my emerald green controller. and 4th being my gold/clear controller.

Simply brilliant sig cubaisdeath

I use my re-re-re-repainted controller

My controller is currently white.

I bought a spice controller for college for other people to play with, but it felt oh so good to play with, so its now the only controller I use for smash... I use the black controller that came with my cube for all other games. Sadly I even painted a brand new controller brown but just doesn't feel the same as my spice one.

 

[Spacecadet]

I'd have to say my repainted blue controller is my lucky one. The joystick is loose, and the c-stick is really tight, because I don't use it. (it makes me feel cool )

 

[vericz]

I've gone through 4 controllers in 2 years. Right now i have a black one. the others either broke or my friends cat messed them up, my controller is at his house since I don't own a cube.

 

[TakDragon7]

I have 3 controllers. 2 that are my bros and don't work due to smashing them to the ground and getting mad after losing. The purple one I have makes me get lucky.

 

[Rage.]

I used to have 6 contollers.
then it went to 2
I just bought a new platinum one that I use
but I want to paint it black and red soon

 

[Samael_78]

i play with a spice gamecube controller. wear and tear marks include black smudges from when i lost my temper and slammed it on the floor (surprising that it still works flawlessly), and the usual gunk that collects around the round parts of the controller

 

[Fiiii]

I use a black controller that I got a long time ago. Amazingly, years of playing has not worn it down one bit.

Yeah, I think I'll keep my controller after it starts playing faulty, because a person gets to be quite attached to it.

haha why thank you. I forget where I got it, I think Zelgadis or someone sent it to me. I love bobby, hella funny.

i used to have a spice controller but i dont think they make them anymore, so i had to switch to platinum =(

 

[Andromeda]

My "lucky" controller is a blaqck one. The stick has perfect grip even if he controller is bout three years old. And its trademark: it's half-molten. (no, really, I'm serious!)

 

[Banks]

maybe its time...to get a new one? just maybe

 

[Andromeda]

I have two other controllers but they're just not as good.
