I feel like this topic is more divided than for other smash games

No I mean using wasd for a game with an analog stick. It sounds terrible
Not really. Just buffer tilts and you'll get used to the controls. Me on KB is better than me on controller.

Look up a guy named EZ Killer on youtube, he plays keyboard.

This question is asked in a way that won't provide a proper response from the community. The thread title is, "Preferred controller" whereas your poll question says, "What would you say the optimal Smash 64 controller is?"

While some people may prefer a keyboard, it's possible that they believe that an original controller is optimal. I would suggest asking this question again, clarifying the question and adding more choices.

but... but... I was like the first person to vote...

I was just pointing out the obvious contradiction between the title and the question.

I think I meant to put "your optimal controller" thanks for pointing that out

literally who uses GC controllers wtf
People who like the better joystick, I guess

disproving indeterminism
This is just an estimate I make based off observations at console tourneys (this does not include popularity online):

1st party 64: 85%
Hori: 10%
3rd party 64: 3%
Xbox: 1%
Keyboard: 0.5%
GC: 0.4
Other: 0.1%

Take Apex for example, there were like 4 or 5 xbox users, 3 keyboard users, a handful of horis, maybe a GC, a couple third parties and the rest were 64 controllers.

I saw one guy in top 8 with this really weird 3rd party one...

Oh the Hori is so good, if it wasn't so pricy/rare I'd buy it immediately. I semi-prefer it over keyboard, especially for Falcon and Pikachu.
