The Best Smashers use the Classic Controller

[ThaRoy]

I dunno, I just posted here so my post count would increase ^_^

 

[brentlouis]

Wow, so the cats out of the bag, are you trying to become a mod? nobody cares about your post count unless you're posts mean something and show analysis of some sort.

I don't see how the gc is better. I was used to it, but I switched b/c I knew the classic is better.-more buttons, closer buttons, smaller controller, and much more sensitive(so you don't have to mash in the buttons as hard to get the freakin char to jump!)

Edit: the only problem I've had is SHnair b/c I use x to jump, and it's hard to move my thumb over to the small a button accurately. The bigger A button on the gc controller helped, but I feel like I don't have to work my hands as hard using the classic.

I agree. Thank you for the relevant input.

[Lezard]

I use classic because i found that since the c-stick is very close to a jump button auto canceling became alot easier. I also like how both the a and the b buttons are next to a jump button also. In the GC controller the b button is far away from the jump buttons. One could argue that someone could set a jump button to special but i would counter argue that the way both jump buttons are shaped that each has a small slope leading to the a button and is unnatural for a slide against each jump button is.

 

[Tyser]

So people like the Classic more because they dont want to move their fingers 1 cm further? Please name some pros who use Classic and win tournaments NAO!

 

[DKKountry]

GC controller fits in your hand better. That simple.

 

[cmpr94x]

As stated earlier, the "pros" do not use the classic because

1. They do not want to learn a new controller configuration. They played well with the g cube controller in melee so they are going to stick with it in brawl.

2. People do not realize the classic controllers potential so they do not use. It is not given a chance t "prove itself."

3. The classic controller is too small. It feels kind of awkward in your hands unless they are tiny. This can by remedied by buying the Nyko Classic Controller Grip. The problem with this is that several people do not know about it and many others are too lazy to get one. By the way, it is only five dollars and it is very comfortable.

The classic controller is better when combined with the grip. It is a lot easier to press the buttons because they are not far away from each other. This does in fact give an advantage.

anybody who has the classic controller, how long (prefferably in the imperial system) is the wire from the plugin to the controller?

I use a classic, the cord from the controller to the wiimote is between 2feet - 3 feet (just barely over 2 feet though)

I'm by no means an amazing player of Brawl, most cause I'm new to this competitive community thing o.o
But my reasons for using the classic are as fallows:

1. I can stop carrying my Sensor bar around with me. The classic lets you use a joystick to move the hand at the wii menu. It's not a big deal, nor does it pertain to brawl, but it's reason.

2. It's wireless. Well so is a wavebird, but then again it's much lighter than a wavebird too. (i have nerdy weak limbs :[) tAlso at my local game tourney place it's easy to stand in the back and not being tied to a cord. (Then again a wavebird can do that too)

3. No Clacking. The joysticks don't require you to "smash" them inorder to do smashes.

4. I can time my shielding better. What? You can? Why yes I can, since the GC has the amazing R and L buttons you have about a tenth of secound it takes to push the button down and a tenth to release it, Alot of wasted time compared to a button

I dunno i find it comfortable and I'm lazy so most of my reasoning deals with item 1

EDIT: my god I look as though I am illiterate

 

[DanGR]

idk what the imperial system is, but it's about the width of a door in length.

 

[kupo15]

its all pref. I use the nunchuck setup. It is good because it doesnt screw up the muscle memory from melee as much and vise versa. I think the nunchuck is more fun for brawl. The gamecube makes me think of melee when I play and I get annoyed.....

 

[Flowbeat]

I used CC up until recently and I found it just as good as a GC in all aspects except the analog stick. The GC analog stick is much better for me, feels more precise.

 

[ShadyGT]

I use the CC, was hard to play with it at the beginning, but after a while its very easy.

 

[Shy Guy 86]

I use both, but the gamecube more, I have 2 wavebirds, but both of them are faulty plus its too heavy for a controller(I don't have weak limbs, it just messes up the feel), The 360 controller while heavy as hell for a controller, seems to have similarities with the GC one(this is a bit off topic), but the Classic one is almost like a gamecube one(but with a lot less weight) I just changed the controls and swapped the A and B and made R the grab(I never use R as a sheild anyway).

 

[Frozt]

I've heard a lot about
"People are used to the GC controller because they played a lot with it in melee, so they will stick to it in brawl"

I can say just give the CC a chance, you may find it better for you, I found it better for me after 6-7 years of me playing melee. didn't you guys get used to the GC controller after the original SSB (If you played SSB first) of course we had no choice, the gamecube had no n64 ports in it but you still got used to the new controller out there.
Give it a try, give the nunchuck a try too if you want too, after all if you stick with the GC controller it's all about what you like most.

 

[CUsmasher2011]

I agree with Frozt....give the classic controller a chance. I used to play with the GC controller while in college, but I bought a classic controller when I bought the game for home. I like the classic controller better, because, for me, it's easier to grab opponent than with the z button on the Gamecube controller.

But if you do use a GC controller, use an official one, not a wireless or a knockoff

The CC is to small for me to use...

Get the grip. It is only five bucks and you can wrap the wire around it.

I just prefer the CG controller just because I am more familiar with character commands, especially with Bowser's moveset. If I want to do a Bowsercide, Bowser does the Bowsercide.
Plus it works well with my hands.
In addition to that, the CG controller is perhaps the best way I can control arrow looping with Pit, which plays a major role in my strategy... like mindgames.

I have no troubles bowserciding with the classic.
