it's weird I'm a long time GC controller user and the pro controller feels amazing in my hands .. the triggers and buttons are way higher quality too .. have you ever taken a GC controller apart? it's not that high quality my friend
@@dana9796 Well when talking about something like smash then... Yea, It arguably is. But in just normal casual gaming either or is fine both have pros and cons.
@@spectral5939 because people are used to it from melee til sm4sh. all other options besides gc were garbage until pro came out. pro is finally a competition to the gc controller.
After playing with the pro controller since launch and going back to the GC controller, it honestly feels great to come back to it. Idk if it's just me but now I find the GC controller to feel much better in my hands
Nintendo has yet to put out a single pro controller that I actually like using. All the GameCube needs is a c-stick shaped like the left stick, another shoulder button, and clickable thumbsticks. With that, every other controller that could ever come out would have some SERIOUS completion
I'm pretty sure something that already exists from power A if I'm not mistaken. I'm surprised you don't like any of the pro controllers in my experience they are some of the best controllers I've used. The Wii U pro is like the 360 controller in shape, but it's slimmer and less clunky. The Wii classic controller pro feels like a DS2 except the sticks feel nicer and are spaced out more. The Switch pro is kinda like an Xbox one controller, except it feels higher quality and has more features. EDIT: Both power A and PDP sell enhanced GC controllers. Power A has the extra shoulder button and clicky sticks, however it still has the c stick. PDPs has the extra shoulder button, clicky sticks plus you can chose between the regular c stick or changing it for another regular stick.
As you probably know there is a smash 5 camecube controller coming to the switch, I was curious if it has 2 shoulder buttons on the left and right side of the controller, or is it just 1 shoulder button on the left and 2 on the right
JonDoesGaming Same here man. I’ve been playing Smash 4 since it released, and I transitioned to using the GameCube controller. It just felt better overall.
My problems with GC controllers: 1. The grips are too thin 2. The C stick is too small 3. Only one shoulder buttons 4. The triggers have too much travel 5. The D-Pad is stiff 6. Not all games work well with it 7. After awhile, the controll stick gets loose 8. The overall feel seems cheap 9. The buttons are too stiff 10. Nobody shuts the hell up about them
The sticks feel looser and have less resistance on the pro. Not a bad thing just different makes doing thing like pikachus up b feel different. Its not harder but it is slightly different muscle memory. I do like the x and y buttons on the pro tho as it feels like both a and b have their own dedicated jump buttons above them. I end up using both depending on which button I pressed last., where as I only use the y button on the gc controller. The c stick is better for smash attacks tho.
I'm a say this. The game cube controller has certain things that the pro controller doesn't. The pro controller doesn't have a C stick. So if you were to try to flick the pro controller's R stick it doesn't feel to great with it being big in size. The game cube controller also has notches on it's control. That allows for more precise movements. For example, if you were to try to angle a characters f-tilt, the game cube controller allows for easy movement between your fingers that I could barely get working on a pro controller. My problem with the pro controller in smash bros. (and this one is probably the most subjective) is that the four buttons are all squish together. I have a hard time trying to do a short hop because my fingers sometimes accidentally hit the B button sometimes. With the game cube controller, both jump buttons are strategically placed next to each other so i can press both at one time and then do an Ariel. However, the pro controller has more shoulder buttons. Personally, I see no use for having another button because I use two shield buttons and one grab and having an extra button doesn't seem to help me. Now I don't speak for everyone there. It would be cool to learn weather some people map shoulder buttons to other inputs. Also and this is important: the pro controller builds up high levels of sweat. That really annoys me
I'm currently in a similar dilemma. I want to preorder the smash bundle with the pro controller, but there is also a bundle selling the gc controller with an adapter.
@@colin3ds1 its def. not a necessity for competetive play. the reason its so commonly used is that most competetive people play since melee so they played like 3 other smash games with gc and are now well trained with it. also before the pro came out, all other controllers for smash were pretty bad compared to gc. pro is actually now a decent alternative to the gc.
I love the game cube controller and the pro controller I gotta say the d-pad on the pro controller is very nice to use I use the GameCube controller to for smash 4, pm, and melee and I love it but I also use the pro controller for all of my gaming needs I personally like the pro better for most games but I like the GC controller for smash I can’t wait to voice my opinion on this after I use both in smash ultimate I can’t wait for smash ultimate dec 7th piranha plant :O
I got a pro first and a GC later Honestly love the GC, the triggers are very satisfying lol Idk, the overall controller has a really nice analogue feel to it
Same! I like the Gamecube controller for back in the day, but I don't like the octagon shape of the perimeter of the joystick (which is handy for a few game tbh) and the grip hurts my thumb after a while. And the triggers take too long to press (which I have an issue with any analog triggers lol) and the controller feels light and cheaper than the pro controller to me.
Some Dude I agree, the A button being the biggest is super great and the b button being a little bigger can really make a new controller better, but apart from that, the pro controller is superior in every way imo
Gabriel Collins For Smash if you don’t have one any of any if these two yet, I would recommend the pro controller. I think it‘ll have ~1 Frame more input lag (at least in the wii u version it was like that) but the extra button really helps ingame. You can map one of the very common actions to that extra button and have it accessible faster compared to the a, b, x and y buttons. Also due to the analog triggers in l and r the input will be realised faster by the game. Also the Pro Controller is just better with a lot of other games, if that matters to you. Hope I could help :)
@@redlethe8679 yes I fixed it. You're right, but in smash it said I was still using a pro controller. I fixed my controls on the pro controller and it worked. The reason for this is as I have a PowerA controller and it has an extra bumper unlike the original controller.
Overall I still go for the Switch Pro controller. Bcos it has more features. GC controller on the other hand, the XYAB button is quite confusing ya. So... Pro 1-0 GC 😊
I can feel the biased a mile away 😂.the pro controller is 100%better quality then a GC that has been made the same for 17 years. The reason why so many pros have 10+GC controllers is because each one is slightly different. Pros have controllers just for Melee same with smash Ultimate and project M when that was a think. Pro controllers more reliable then GC controllers. I love the GC controllers but they sre probably one of the worst controllers to use to play smash and even pros have said the same thing. Technology has advanced so much since GC were produced.
The only thing better about the GC controller is the A/B/X/Y layout. Otherwise the pro wins every category hands down. Those triggers used to give me the worst cramps. The switch is butter. Plus it's wireless.
B L Absolutely agree, maybe even the abxy layout is indeed better of the pro controller because they are close to each other so you don’t have to move very far while the gc controller has a very weird layout that has x y different shape from a and b (those are two different sizes)

Why else is it still being used today?

so you're telling me that a controller made out of cheap plastic from almost *18 years* before the switch pro controller is better than it..
I like the pro controller more
Gamecube controller is kinda worse on my hands since i also got a silicon grip on my pro controller

Lelaine Morato same here. I have the pro controller for my switch so I’m trying to see how the gameplay is compared to the GameCube controller.
they did for the reveal thing
I prefer gamecube when it comes to smash.
JonDoesGaming Same here man. I’ve been playing Smash 4 since it released, and I transitioned to using the GameCube controller. It just felt better overall.
@@anscrailfanner6812 it's almost like the gamecube controller was made for smash.
Nobody gonna talk about how he scratched the word "Nintendo" on the top left lol
I can agree with your choice, I will always use a gamecube controller when gaming, Switch games, Wii U games, and more. Thank you for the video.

Actually the pro controller is better. But the gamecube controller is only comfortable when you are playing Super Smash Bros.
What about performance, is the pro, Faster than the cube in terms of reaction in game ?
You are my favorite CZcamsr
I have a question. In case of multiplayer, Can we use one joy con and one pro controller together?
yes you can do that
@@elitetimbo455 ok thanks ✌
Is it best to just use the pro controller for smash since I’ve already got one, or go buy a GameCube controller with the adapter

U didn’t talk about how the GameCube controller doesb’t have press able sticks and the pro con does

I have a PowerA Nintendo switch GameCube designed wireless pro controller

Is the GameCube your favorite console
Bro what happened to ur table
Pro Controller over GCN Controller! (Just my opinion) I hate the feeling of the gamecube controller.

Same the gc controller just hurts my hands when I use it for a long time especially if I’m playing melee
Why haven’t any new controllers tried to use the gamecube button layout?
Some Dude I agree, the A button being the biggest is super great and the b button being a little bigger can really make a new controller better, but apart from that, the pro controller is superior in every way imo
I just wanna know which one is more viable competitively

Hello! I use a PowerA gamecube controller and the switch thinks the controller is a pro controller for some reason, I cant change it. Can you help?
It's supposed to read as a pro controller.

The gamecube dpad is based off of gameboy advance dpad
I know this fool didn’t just say the GameCube controller feels quality it’s a cheap piece of plastic bro
Todd Crane so is the pro controller
raptorwolfgaming no the pro controller has superior material. The GameCube controller is LITERALLY just plastic.
gamecube is looking very unique
I prefer using the Wavebird.
For smash it can lag when playing intense gaming
Pro controller all the way
You cant click the sticks on the gc controller. Its outdated just a smash bros tool
You sound like Squidward with that nasally tone
Game cube controller all the way
