Gamecube Controller question

[SwordSaint]

Decided to take my new GC controller out of the box and use it but now I don't have a parry button. Not that I used it effectively anyway lol but what do you guys rebind to?

[Poole [>'']>]

left trigger

I use GameCube controller as well. I binded the Parry to X because I only use Y to jump. I don't use the Strong/Smash attack button at all, and use the C-Stick or Tap Strong for those.

I've always used C stick for tilts so thats gonna have to be a no for me. I use left trigger for short hop and even had it binded to jump in ultimate so I can do certain combos so it's just baked in my memory. If I could just bind directional pad to parry I would do it but it just won't let me. I might just have to play on an Xbox controller... this sucks lol

i switched to the retrofighter battlergc pro. it hase the gamecube layout but with an additional left bumper.

EDIT: Editing out 1st part

There's at least one or two default binds that are superfluous on it.

With a Short Hop binded to L and tilts on C-Stick, you could bind Parry in the place of your Strong button and use Tap Strong (flick left stick + Attack).

The reason we like to use the GCC is because it feels good and is extremely responsive and accurate, i doubt any modern controller can be as accurate as a GCC, i considered buying one of those switch GC controllers but i doubt the sticks will feel as good as genuine t2/t3 GC stickboxes, having an extra bumper would be nice though.

i have been playing all smash titles on a GC controller since melee. trust me: the battlergc pro is the next step.

Just looked it up.

Honestly, I have a really hard time using the Gamecube due to the tiny, distant C-Stick and a lack of 2 Z buttons. Also, clickable Joysticks would be really cool, so this thing looks absolutely amazing!

Are the Z buttons more clicky? They felt sooo unresponsive on the normal GC controller.

the ZL and ZR buttons are most likely the worst/weakest aspect of the controller. while they are technically very good, because they use micro switches, the button it self is made of hollow plastic so the click itself feels a bit hollow, too. its not "bad" but its just average and feels en par with the original GC controllers Z button. which sticks out when everything else on the controller feels high quality.

I wish there was an expensive as hell GC controller with all the extra features (2 Z buttons, clickable joysticks, actually good C-Stick) with no downsides...

I play claw, so i dont have an issue with the c stick, my index finger sits on y while my thumb deals with aerials and tilts on the stick, i wavedash and shield with L

there is/will be actually. google "GC Ultimate Controller Kit". they had a very successful kick starter and plan to ship to backers in the next 2 months. afterwards they will sell to anyone else on their page. the only "downside" is that its a self assembly kit, but according to early testers its a very simple process.

Not a Melee guy so I can't imagine what that feels like, holy moly.

It feels natural, belive me, once i came back from not playing smash for 17 years i automatically clawed the controller within 5 minutes of gameplay.
