Now that it's been a year since covid killed in person melee and moved everyone to online play via PC, I'd like to see if the controller demographics of the game have begun to include usb controllers. Here is my survey link:


I will cross post to Reddit to broaden my sample size.
Thanks in advance!

This data was collected from respondents on Smashboards, /r/SSBM, /r/SmashBros, and the Slippi discord.

While the GCC is still king, slippi only players are less likely to use one. Its neat that boxx + keyboard (which is most likely imitating boxx) has almost 10% adoption.

Thank you to all the respondents!
