I've never heard of these life doubling tricks. Links? The problem with the stick lies in the stirrups that the stick sits in in the stick housing. the plastic that they are made of is softer than than the plastic the stick is made of so the friction wears grooves in to them making the stick loose. I don't really see how this is fixable.

Is the hori mini pad anything comparable to an original 64 controller?

yes but with a stick similar to a gamecube stick, but looser. overpriced if you ask me, and makes some things more difficult like plat drop u-air, but mine has shown no signs of wear, and i haven't heard anyone else say theirs has worn out.

Are Hori Minipads even comparable to original 64 controllers?

Looks like hori pads are dropping in price a bit, which is good.
We live in a merciless world however, as I'm beginning to notice a significant loosening of the stick on my original hori pad. The sticks on these things do wear out, but its by far a much smaller problem than an original controller. It still snaps back, but it does have a wobbly deadzone in the center. I'll have to take apart the hori and see if there is a fix, since I'd be surprised if the stick was actually wearing down.
If you are lucky to have an original n64 controller with the last-generation sticks, however, they do last a long while. I've been using mine for over a year for smash and its only first starting to have a noticeable drop in performance.
Also, if anyone is curious, I can confirm that the raphnet adapter, in its current state, does not work properly with hori mini pads even though the seller says it does. I've tried two pads on multiple computers and it's the same issue. I'm in contact with the seller though and will probably send my pad over so the adapter can be fixed.

When I bought my hori pad it was like $35 including the shipping from japan. I think $45 is the most I would be willing to pay for one, but $80 is ridiculous. Also firo, how loose has your stick gotten? Mine deff has a little play in it when centered, but is still accurate.

So I'm trying the whole "get-good-with-characters-you're-bad-at-thing" and damn. I just realized how crap Mario's jab>grab is compared to Luigi (Really it's the jab that's crap). It is pretty much only good on shields or super low percents (and maybe heavies more?). This is a shame.
Oh and I just figured out (maybe a couple months ago) that Ness even had a jab.
Yea I feel like a scrub
On that note. I feel I am secretly bad a some match ups. How I long for online Ness and Pika.

Wut? Mario's jab grab is fine.

Not when I've tried. Don't have the game in front of me, but when Falcon is at mid percent it will jab and then whiff the grab. I kept playing and kept missing the grab, and yes I'm doing it right speed-wise.

Today I discovered that there is like a frame or two, right after you do Luigi's or Mario's ledge-attack under 100%, if you jump, you will do a mid-air jump, even though you're on the ground.
Yes, I seem to discover a lot of useless things.

yea, I just tried it and it was like 50/50. Maybe I just have to REALLY be up in their grill. I went to the hitbox thread and both grabs look almost identical so IDK. Guess I'll keep practicing and only use it when it's safe. The thing is if I whiff (the grab) with Luigi, I'm not really in trouble; if I whiff with Mario, the opponent is out of the jab hit stun so fast it seems like I can get punished easily.

I don't think the hitstun for their jabs is that different lol. If Luigi's is better, I'd wager it's because of his low traction, which allows him to slide a bit forward during the jab->grab, meaning that the grab won't whiff for a larger % range.

Funny 'cause I thought of that, but I didn't think it would affect a standing jab.
Definitely a difference though, and the jab hit stun seems different too o_O
Back to the drawing board...

Or you could just grab them when they're not shielding.

^^What kind of an idea is that! Would never work!
Also: Just did an spur of the moment recording of my hands playing smash haha.
Think It'll freak some people out the way I hold the controller.
Really bad quality. Should I upload?

Hmmm, wait for tomorrow? (Not like anyone's gonna see it until tomorrow)

I'll probably make a nice one and just delete this/video response the new one.

These UGS guys are crooks, I tell you. Crooks!
Just sent them an angry email. Where do these guys get off...
If there was anything in my power that I could do to stop the server from going down, I would. But unfortunately there is not.

So my angry email may have done something....
apparently a "technician" is going to the datacenter and reinstalling the OS with some new hardware. They also put some credit on my payment account. We'll see how this goes.

What a let down. My controller works until I go into online mode on Project64k, then I get nothing. Time to hit the online forums.

Yeah so..I was the high bidder on this. Then you advertised it. Lol
Oh well I got the next Hori pad he put on ebay. The Guy seems to have an endless stock of them out in Japan
