Can anyone tell me how the new Smash Wii U gamecube controllers feel and play compared to the old ones? I'm specifically wondering about the deadzone in the joystick and the stiffness of the trigger buttons.

I'm considering replacing my controller and I wanna know if I should get one of the newer ones.

Thanks in advance, folks.

the analogue sticks are stiffer. i've heard that the shoulder buttons and all the other buttons feel like they have less quality but i'm not sure if that's true or not.

The new ones are fine for the most part including the left analogue and buttons, but I do have a few complaints. For instance I swear that the c-stick is somewhat non-responsive. I've bought two new sm4sh controllers at this point and both have this issue where I'll try to angle an f-smash and samus will just stand there like I didn't even do anything. I've never had a problem doing it with my indigo controller.

Also, the triggers do catch on the edges of their slot if you press them down at an angle, but this isn't a problem for me, neither is it for most.
