The gamecube controller was created by based god himself for Smash. Every future iteration of smash brothers need to come out with a controller packed inYep, for this game, I'll probably stick with that (the gamepad is actually really comfy for most reg. games though, like the platformers, mario kart, etc.). The pro controller is pretty damn good tho. Feels like a better xbox controller to me, since those analog sticks aren't flictedly diagonal.
No but it's purely muscle memory. Since Smash Bros Melee, people have used the GC controller for that game and when Brawl came out in 2008, GC controllers was usable too so that's 13 years of muscle memory.
