Rewired Controller for Smash Taunting

[8-bitBishop]

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I decided to rewire my N64 controller specifically to make taunt cancelling easier.
I simply took a razor blade and slit the trace from the up-C button to the button mapper chip. I then soldered a wire from the L -Button to the up-C button.
After playing with the Hori mini pad for a while, I liked the ease of taunt cancelling but could not get used to the small controller. The joystick was awesome but I didn't feel as in control as when using a regular N64 controller.
So, I went back to the good old classic controller and made this funny little modification. I chose up-C due because of character color. Up -C is the button linked to a characters original color, so all other colors are still available.
Anyway, if you'd like me to post a picture of the circuit board or a video , please let me know.
P.S. I did this because I like taunt cancelling (especially with Mario, and Falcon) , and I liked the idea of doing it while not removing my right hand over to the L button. Ridiculous? Maybe. More comfortable, safe, controlled, taunt cancelling experience?......YES!
P.S.S: Show, show , show me your moves!

Clubba will have this banned just you wait.

I wasn't even aware that was possible. I'm going to look that up, thanks.

Why would he do that?

he wants to ban everything thats wasnt in the ssb 64 original box. So its nothing to worry about. The rest of us are chill with it =)

I see. Well thanks for the heads up.

It's a joke, clubba doesn't seriously have problems with taunt canceling (I don't think)

Its a joke. Taunt cancelling has no effect on gameplay so its okay. I just want keyboards banned from console. This sounds pretty cool though!

Nah, totally not ridiculous ;P One of the biggest reasons I wanted to stick to Hori was so that the taunt button is not in a ******** location. Yeah.

Not to add fuel to your ban-everything fire, but taunt-canceling does affect gameplay. Not hugely, but it does. For example, in the Puff vs Samus match-up, when Samus is recovering low, I like to stay a little back, then dash -> taunt-cancel -> DSmash when she tries to sweetspot her up-b. Like this, I can DSmash perfectly on the edge for maximum range off the stage, reaching her as-far-away-from-the-edge-as-possible up-b that a lot of people normally struggle to hit safely. I could obviously achieve this maximum range by just going to the edge in advance so I don't need the speed of a taunt-cancel, but this staying on the edge obviously puts me in danger of being hit away. Also doing this encourages people to try to sweetspot like I want them to because people see me just standing there away from the edge, and think I won't be able to hit them easily from that position, because nobody but me does this **** lol.

Another example is using it to stop the Dreamland wind from pushing you off the left side if you want to do an on-stage edgeguard on the edge. Basically you can use it for a quick way to dash to the edge, or to stop yourself from being pushed off (or quickly canceling Kirby's power wut).

Well, i guess its banned then.

Why not just rewire L to Up-C?

I did rewire L to Up-C. But it is necessary to cut the connection from Up-C to the chip, otherwise you would have two conflicting inputs.
Step 1: sever the copper trace from Up-C to chip with a razor blade. Step 2: Add a wire to the L-Button, and run it to the C-Button(NOTE: There is a small blank copper circle next to the Up-c button, this is where you want to solder on your wire from the L-Button.)
This way, the L-button and Up-C are now the taunt button.
