What controller do you use?

To be honest I think that the GameCube controller is the best controller to date. I love it, it feels nice in my hands, and I wish Nintendo would bring the button layout back cause it's one of my favorites. Basically I love the GC controller. Just sayin.
It's good that you like it, and I respect your opinion. As a video game collector, I've used many different controllers, and the GameCube controller is one of my least favorites. It lacks the familiarity of so many other controllers, and if Melee never became a thing, people wouldn't obsess over it like they have been for more than 13 years. I can see why it's a popular option, since it's the only wired controller that the Wii has access to and therefore makes it a great option for tournaments, but I find controllers like the SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, and PlayStation controllers to be much more comfortable and tolerable. Different strokes for different folks!

Prolly just feels weird to you because of your muscle memory. CCP feels perfectly natural to me and I did use GCC for a while as well.

I ain't switching to WiiU controller unless I'm at gunpoint though, **** that Xbox knockoff that sticks the C-Stick above the buttons. WTF Nintendo

Different strokes indeed! I loved the Gamecube controller the first time I held it in my hands and I've never been a fan of the PlayStation controllers.

It's not muscle memory. I never liked it even when the GameCube first came out, and I hate having to use it for games like Mario Kart: Double Dash and Soulcalibur II. The controller feels too clunky and gimmicky to feel comfortable for me.

I was replying to 9Bit, not you.

I was saying I prefer the CCP to the GCC, if you re-read my post.

Whoops, my bad. I thought you were talking to me because you said that the GameCube controller still feels fine to you, and it probably feels weird to "me" due to a lack of muscle memory. Sorry for misinterpreting your comment!

YOur right about different strokes for different folks, but damn we have different opinions on controllers, cause I despise the PlayStation controller......
