Rumble On or Off?

[Hype]

Do you play with Rumble on or off? Why?

I personally play with mine off because I've been playing all games with it off for years. I find I can keep the controller more steady With it off.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Vibrating controllers can weaken your hands, so I turn mine off.

I turn it on for item/final smash/painbox matches though.

 

[Hype]

Really? wow, I never knew that. That's good to know.

 

[Flamestar666]

Doesn't affect me one way or another

I have actually disassembled a controller and took out the motor completely

 

[PKSkyler]

It depends who im playing. and what im playing with. and what im playing.

 

[TwinkleToes]

I keep the vibrator on.

Ladies.


Just kidding.
I turn the RUMBLE off.
(Calling it "vibrating" gives it certain connotations, Hype).

I already beat you to it.

 

[Sosuke]

I keep it on.
I think of it as a sort of "reminder" to step up my game every time I get hit.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Doesn't affect me. I play with it On.

I don't even notice it... I don't realize it's on when I play, though I guess I would probably notice if it was turned off. Regardless, it doesn't change anything for me.

 

[Sean²]

I can't just see the hit and be satisfied, I have to feel it too.

I have to have it off because I use a Wavebird :<

I have to have it off because I use a Wavebird :<

Wavebirds have so much lag on the Wii though, how can you play it .

I play with Rumble on, it helps with ftillt locking with Sheik and it makes resting with Jiggs enjoyable.

 

[nigioh]

wait does the classic controller have rumble?

lol havent noticed

 

[keeper]

Always off.

 

[Edds]

lol havent noticed

it doesnt have a rumble. only the wiimote/gamecube controller has a rumble.

 

[Frate]

I tried a round without rumble and it felt like I was playing with a piece of plastic.

 

[Crow!]

Brawl rumbles far too often for my taste. Do I really need tactile response to the fact that I am dashing across the stage? It's kind of ridiculous. If it only went off when you got hit, I'd totally have it on, but not with things the way they are.

 

[PCHU]

You fool!
How could you even POST such a topic?
Keep rumble on!
Doesn't it feel GREAT to absolutely MURDER your opponent in an AWESOME combo, ending it with a METEOR, or even better, a STAGE SPIKE, watching them fly HELPLESSLY into the COLD, HARD WALL, and INTO THE ABYSS?
Yes, it does.
It feels very good, and PUNISHING your opponent (who's trying to gimp you) WITH A STAGE SPIKE IS THE PWNSOMENESS!
AND DOLPHIN SLASH IS THE PWNSOMENESS!!
So yeah, keep it on.

 

[Oosband]

It doesn't affect my game play so I leave it on.

 

[arrex]

i play with it on, i honestly dont give a rats poop.
its just a fun addition to gaming IMO...

 

[TheStagesmith]

I play with rumble off on my nunchuk/wiimote; batteries are expensive

 

[SothE700k]

I dunno, its like another sense of what i'm doing or what I should be doing. Weird I know, but I love having it on. Plus it helps me judge if I sweetspotted an attack/smash (Marth's tipper for one). Trying to play it off just has me left in the dust going "Ok, wtf am I doing?"
ESPECIALLY when you're in a massive brawl and its easy to lose track of your character. Feel a huge rumble? You probably got smashed and quickly refind your character (Guess its just me).
I have no clue how many times i've played without rumble and ended up killing myself simply because I couldn't tell what was going on thanks to rumble being off.

And it feels so good to feel that rumble when you get a sweet smash off someone to their death =)

 

[PCHU]

I have trouble on 64 because of no rumble.
It's like I don't know who just died.....or how hard I'm hitting.
It sucks...
It has no feeling in it, so it's meaningless to try and 'be' your character....
I'm worse without rumble.

 

[CheeseCakeHoneyPot]

On. I like to feel each step Ganondorf takes.

 

[Peck]

I prefer rumble to be on.

 

[3transfat]

The rumble function has never bothered me, so I play with it on.

 

[Crizthakidd]

i love the rumble feature. just lay it on my pants while i get fsmashed.

If you talking about on the console and not the emulator, go find yourself a Rumble Pak. Super Smash Bros is compatible with it.

Oh at topic creator: Sakurai said he was purposely allowing the Game Cube controller to stay because he likes how it vibrates well. If you don't have Rumble on, you're not playing Sakurai's game! (just kidding)

 

[Cyan_]

Doesn't affect my gameplay at all, so I just keep the rumble on.

 

[nightSN]

does vibrate really weaken your hands? o.o

 

[Sosuke]

Vibrate actually strengthens your hands. XD

 

[AbsoluteZero255]

^This has got to stop! At LEAST POST IN REGULAR ENGLISH LIKE YOU DID BEFORE!

ON TOPIC:

I personally like to turn rumble off.

Unfortunately, I can not post in this topic anymore because of the Jakadactyl attack.

 

[OmegaXXII]

well.. Rumble on simply because i'm already used to it and been playing with it for years so having no rumble is not an option unless of course the game I play doesn't support it, but nowadays which game doesn't? *doesn't wanna hear PS3*

 

[I Pika]

I play with it on because I simply do not care.

 

[Hype]

Vibrate actually strengthens your hands. XD

Can someone corfirm or deny this because one person says it strengthens your hands and one says it weakens your hands. I'm curious to know the truth.

 

[Red Alloy]

I don't really notice it all that much unless I'm playing a really laggy Wifi match and I get hit. It just keeps rumbling forever...

 

[Sosuke]

It weakens your hands a little as your holding it while its vibrating.
It strengthens it after its done vibrating.
It's kinda like lifting weights, know what i mean?

 

[Hype]

That makes sense.
