I've convinced my parents. You guys can sleep in my yard. We have a pergola you can sleep under and a garden; we shouldn't even have to feed you! And jump in the pool for your shower.

LOL i really do Vorguen...but in all honesty i probably wont be able to. Just considering the drive is around 6 hours I would have to go with someone and it a be a pretty large tourney to warrant this. Im just giving thought to goin to more OoC tourney...u guys are too cool. San Antonio too.

Genesis is gonna wipe so many people out >.>...wish i could still go. OH WELLSIES.

Me and razer, after being reunited for a little bit, made quite a sexy team.

RGV needs housing for HOBO 17!

Somebody let me know if they can help us!



Gnes I understand. Our tournaments keep getting considerably bigger, if you think they aren't big enough yet, they will be soon.

Either way, if you come, that's probably going to bring a lot more people too.


Keep me posted.

All 3 of my normal gamecube controllers are now messed up :/ One has a sticky Z button, one has a sticky R button, and one has a messed up C-stick. If I could get myself used to using L instead of R then I'd have a good controller... but **** I wish it were possible to buy new CG controllers in stores now. My options are to either continue wearing these controllers out more, switch to one of my mini wireless controllers (ain't gunna happen), or use a Wiimote and Nunchuck and main Snake...

/rant

But anyways, are there any good 3rd party brand GC controllers?

KRD, you could ask someone who knows how to take apart controllers to fix them/replace the parts for you. I think there are several people in Houston that know how. Or at least find the right type of screwdriver...

Or you could order a controller online/try used ones at Gamestop.

The white controllers ones are good but cost about $30-40 bucks if you include shipping, unless you're lucky to find them cheaper elsewhere. D:

White Controller, including shipping and tax, is like 34-35$ I think. GC controllers new were usually $24.99 to $29.99, not including tax. I wouldn't mind paying even $10 shipping for a brand new GC controller from nintendo, especially since you can't find them at regular stores much anymore.

Play Asia... I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

About fixing controllers, is there anyone here in Houston on smashboards that does it?

Edit:
I know how to. So if you are willing to wait until HOBO 17 I can do it for you KRD.

I have the tools I need to do it as well, so I'll take them with me.
Sure, I wouldn't mind waiting until HOBO 17. The only controller I care about is the one that just recently had the Z button get a bit sticky, so I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Edit edit: Oh yeah, would it also be possible to make my control stick less loose? It's annoying and makes it harder to do tilts.

I think Ozz and Gea have some experience and tools for modifying controllers...you would have to ask them.
