the reason? Ive been obsessed with doing this in for glory:
Walking away extremely slow while they keep trying to approach, read their approach, attack, rinse and repeat. This to me is more disrespectful than any taunt.
The only issue with this was it was very hard (for me anyway) to push the thumbstick just enough to get this super slow walk, either i wouldn't push it hard enough and stand still or i would push it too hard and dash or walk normal speed. I would be fiddling with the thumbstick and wasting valuable walking time trying to get it right. It was time to find a better way.
I knew the controller read resistance values relative to the position of the thumbstick, all i had to do was find out what value would trigger the slowest walk possible.
after about 45 mins of testing:
It turns out the magical value is 28k ohms. Cool. I started out by putting electrical tape over all four contact pads on the d-pad. Bye taunts! Next I soldered a resistor from the thumbsticks "Left" x-axis point and taped the other end to the d-pads conductive pads.

I then soldered a small wire from a ground point on the controller to the other side of the conductive pad. Meaning: when i press left on the d-pad the GC controller things theres a 28k ohm value on the thumbsticks x-axis left, so it gives me a very very slow walk.
I did the same thing for the right side, and mission accomplished.
Had an issue where if both the left and right were mapped to the same resistance value, one side wouldn't read until I input a either a jump or a move first. so I set left to 24.8K ohms and right to 28k ohms. problem solved.
In the future I may add new buttons for the slow walk instead of using the d-pad. I just wanted to do it without drilling holes in my poor gc controller.
