    I will be ordering this controller in a few days. My only immediate critiques are that they went out of their way to "modernize" a GameCube controller just to oddly stack all of the face buttons together instead of just putting the OG button layout on a modern style controller. The last but more important is that this is obviously trying to be sold as a new way to play Smash but the S button effectively kills any chance of this controller being competitive/tournament "legal" and taking off out of the gate.

      Yeah, I'll probably use a Gamecube controller for in person tournies. But I dont plan on going back to those for a while due to Covid. For online tournies, however, I'll be using this. The short cut for short hop will be big to make up for the input delay from online. I always feel like I short hop easier offline, so this will hopefully make up for it.

      I was thinking GameCube receiver, Wii / Classic-Edition receiver and probably a PS-one / PS2 receiver just in case I want to use an Xbox-style controller on a PS2 console.
      Also, the upcoming Retro Fighters Defender controller doesn't have the Xbox-style left stick and direction button layout.

      @@NeiltendoPower I suggested a joystick/button mapping option to get around this issue but no luck. Said they might revise the design next year after they've sorted the first run. From what I can tell, the D-pad approach is mainly to benefit GameBoy Player gamers.

    I was about to buy it, but the X and Y buttons are to weirdly laid out and small. Otherwise this would be amazing.

    • @NeiltendoPower
      @NeiltendoPower  2 года назад

      Yeah the layout is definitely a little strange there. I think they have another controller coming out this year that will be more faithful to the GameCube. Thanks for watching!

  • @remdell

    I think in their process of reinventing the gamecube wheel, they've created separate problems from the OG layout. For many people, the S button's position would be their ideal X button position to perform both full hops and short hops. Compacting the buttons does make it easier to hit X+Y at the same time to short hop (for smaller/thinner thumbs albeit made useless with S button there) and flick specials quickly off of jumps but at the expense of being too compact for large hand users and too far away from the A button.
    Finally, the controller can't be tournament legal with the S button's shortcuts. I would much rather have two buttons at the back of the controller as additional jump buttons to perform shorthops and c-stick aerials. I also don't think the capabilities of the S button should be left to one button, as I'm sure some people would prefer it in other locations like L/ZL. Aside from the large A button and octogate analog sticks, I can't say this controller would help me more than a standard pro controller.

      It's really not fit for Smash due to its differences. It's really good quality, but it just ain't a GameCube replacement.

    In the future, can you do a comparison with Retro fighter's upcoming (whenever it will be released) ps2 defender controller with Hyperkin's Brave Warrior Ps2 controller as a modern ps2 controller alternative.

  • @LS-td4yf
    @LS-td4yf 3 года назад +2

    This thing seems cool until you realize the functions are kinda useless. Just press a+b for a smash attack, x+a for an aerial, and x+y for a short hop which is probably gonna be easier than having a weird button layout. The only thing that might make me buy this is the notches cause with my pro controller sometimes I accidentally sd
