What control is better in melee? Help

[Goty Rase]

I am trying to get a gamecube control to play melee but i don’t know if the original gamecube control or the new version for ultimate is better? Someone can say me what control is better, i hear that the ultimate version can’t light shield but i am not sure about that, can someone tell me?

I'm still using a gamecube controller from when 4wiiu came out. Controllers I feel are a deeply subjective topic so you won't get a definitive answer for melee. Having said that if you buy a ultimate branded gamecube controller the shoulder buttons will still have analog shoulder buttons allowing you to light shield. Controllers are an entire rabbit hole you can fall down in and of themselves so my advice would be to just buy a new controller so you can start learning the game asap! As you find out who you like to play and what your style is you could look into more of the custom options that suit your style as a player. Hope this post helped!

as a new player, just get any old (working) gamecube controller made by nintendo and start playing. as long as its an official nintendo controller, itll be fine. the new smash ultimate branded one's internals are the exact same as the original gamecube controllers, so youll be fine. and yes, you can lightshield with them haha
