What color GameCube controller do you primarily use? I always use the only GC controller I own, a black Smash Bros. edition GC controller that I bought of Amazon for $22 and was imported from Japan.

The black, Smash one. I bought it off Amazon because the one I got with my GC had a loose analog stick.

Indigo. It's my first GC controller and it's still going strong without any issues. My black controller from the Smash 4 bundle is still unused. I have a wavebird as well but that's more for casual play on the couch.

I use a black one. It was the easiest to find on amazon. I would like to get a custom controller someday tho...

A black and white controller. It was still good after fixing some screws in the controller.

I use a jet black controller. I used to have a platinum one long ago, but then a dog chewed the cord.

I still have them, my two Gameboys (I don't get why everyone's broke I think its because I have Gameboy Advanced SPs). One is Silver and the other is burgundy/ red. I got two because... I actually don't know why. I played two games when I was a obsessed kid with it (so obsessed my I hid it in my room and sneakily played it so my parents didn't know and I never got caught lol :)) I played three games constantly: Star wars episode 3, Pokémon Leafgreen, and Sonic the hedgehog advanced rush 5(or something like that). Those were good but I've been having this to this day. I have no video game friends, except a few on my ps4 (I want friends dam***) I don't know why one minute we play together and the next we are just a spot on our friends list.
I have these games for the 3ds that I really play with friends (yes I have a plain 3ds):
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (get sort of pumped for generations) This is where I need the most friends
Kirby Fighters Deluxe
FANTASY LIFE (this game is amazing here is a link to see for yourself http://fantasylife.nintendo.com/ )

Used to be the indigo controller with the transparent back, but since the control stick has just deteriorated over the years (1/3 of the grooves are smoothed out and the upper dead zones are wonky), I'm using the black Smash Bros. controller that came with the bundle.
I'm so attached to that controller now. I refuse to use the other GCN controllers since I feel so awesome with that extra-long cord. Until it tangles.

Black, since that's what I've just simply been using. Had it since I got a GameCube and I've had no issues with it. Also have 2 indigo and 2 Wavebirds lying around for when friends come over.

I use my indigo one for matches I go full tryhard in, and my slightly broken silver one for just casuals. The c stick rubber was peeling off so it has a mass of tape on the c stick lol.

Before Smash WiiU came out, my primary controller was a half purple half clear controller, which I've had for so long I don't even remember how I got it. Hell I don't remember how I got half my controllers they're all just sorta there for some dumb reason. I have a silver one I don't even remember owning, and a pure purple one I'm pretty sure I held onto from a friend of mine and he never needed it back and I forgot I took it from him.

Now since another friend ordered me a white Smash edition controller that's been my primary choice.

I use a Platinum controller that came in a GCN bundle I bought at GameStop, 10 years ago.

As some might expect, it's a bit messed up, but decent enough to still be used.

only platinum controller user in this thread...rip

I use a platinum because it was the one that I've been using all my life.

I plan to eventually get a custom Genesis 3 controller but I would kill for the Char Aznable one. Long live Zeon

Platinum. I had the Gamecube controller for quite some time and it still works. :)

I use the black Smash Bros. edition of the controller that came with the game I preordered. I bought another one for my sister to use.

The Black Smash Bros Edition Controller I got in the bundle when it was first released. Before that, it was just a black one I had for years.

I don't remember the orange one being called spice, I love that. That's the color I use. I named it Tangerine Magic.

I use one with a white Smash top and an indigo bottom usually. I swapped the shells around on my Gamecube controllers to make them unique. I also have a black Smash top with a white bottom and an indigo top with a black bottom that has the springs removed from the triggers.

Thinking about buying another white Smash controller and painting the bottom blue and swapping it with the indigo bottom.

This one:
Lmao but really, I collect gamecube controllers and I have ton to choose from. I will be modding a Pearl White as soon as I receive it tho, as it's my favorite controller.

I love my Indigo/Clear. I did get it off of amazon used, and its main joystick moves REALLY easily (which some people think it's a problem). Oddly enough, I love how slippery and quick the stick is.
The C-stick has a lump on it which gives it some character and I've actually gotten so used to it that normal C-sticks don't feel quite right.
It's my tournament go-to controller and it feels and looks perfect to me. Idk I'm kinda going overboard with this but for a long time now I have needed a place to bask in the transcendent glory of my controller.

EDIT: also, I kind of wish clear and starlight gold controllers still existed. They're awesome and I never got how they were so rare

Platinum. It's the one I've had since I first got my GameCube. Although sometimes I use the black Sm4sh edition and the plain black.

I used to use the indigo controller, as that was the only one I had at the time, but ever since I got the White Smash Bros. controller as a gift, I've been currently using it.

I'd like to have an Indigo controller, but the controller I use is a Smash 4 controller with a smiley face drawn on the logo. Endearing, eh?

The black Super Smash Bros. Edition controller and I fully expected to see it as the most common controller on here. Though I am a little bit surprised it's by a very slim margin.

I also have an orange one that I like to use, but pressing the A button on it doesn't feel right.

whats wrong with wavebird?
It's a bit taboo as people think it's not optimal. While there is no noticeable lag, it's better not to use it in case you run out of batteries during a set lmao.

For now I'm using a Pearl White front with a Symphonic Green back, as I noticed my trigger on my Pearl White was broken so I changed it for now - but it looks good so I might keep it this way.
