GameCube controller or Classic Controller?

[Peregrinus Falconidae]

I was wondering which one is considered the better of the two, because I have enough money to buy one now.

 

[WhoIsMrBlack]

Keep in mind when buying that you will gain an extra controller if you buy GC, but if you buy Classic you have to connect to an existing controller.

Personally I prefer GC controller anyway. =]

Personally, I prefer the air!

Anyways, I use the GC controller because of it's comfortability and I'm used to it because of playing so much Melee. I thought there was a thread for this already.... w/e

I chose classic for a different feel...so Gamecube if u wanna feel comfortable...classic if u want alittle bit of new experience not too much though. Almost exactly the same...lol

 

[Peregrinus Falconidae]

Eh? Well I'm not too sure of it.
Anyway, I think I would prefer the GC controller because of how comforatable it is, and good point; I get another controller.

GC controller all the way.

The big gripe that I have about the Classic Controller is that if you press the analog sticks in towards each other, your fingers touch. I feel like I'd slice my thumbs open with my nails if I played with the **** thing.

Also, I've just used the GC controller forever so I'm used to it.

 

[Pero]

classic play isnt that horriable and u never need to push them together... ._.,
and If P-Diddy can get a manacure u can to u...wildabeast...
(j/k)

It still scares me...>.<

GC controller has something the Classic doesn't.

definetly Gamecube controller, but I suggest you buy the new Wii vesrion of it which is basically a white Gamecube controller with a 3M cord

I second this. I bought mine about a month ago; it looks, feels, and plays awesome: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-23-49-en-70-2ola.html

Oh so awesome.

 

[King_Gt]

How'd you get a picture of my floating controller and my blank white wallpaper?... stalker
lol That's the only thing I use on my GC controller for brawl and melee
Personally, I never tried the classic.
This may seem narrow-minded, but why would anyone WANT to play with another controller?

 

[Kros]

Oh so awesome.

This is one god scary picture.

Simply Amazing

Classic has a c-stick and extra buttons gc doesn't have. >_>

 

[Igneous42]

I don't think it really matters. I bought a Classic controller because they are easier to find and I don't like having a controller come of of the wii......lame reason I know. Also because with our set up we'd pretty much have to use wavebirds (or buy a GCN extension cord) and they are a lot more expensive then a classic controller and harder to find. I actually like the buttons better on the classic controller too. But the GCN is more comfortable.

 

[Dark Nemesis]

Doing advanced techniques are a lot easier with the classic controller.

 

[popsofctown]

The classic controller HAS a second analog stick. Please quit ASKING "Dude, how do you play without a C-stick". I don't. Mine's just bigger.

Both are good controllers. With little doubt. It's easier to taunt on the classic.

 

[Yeniths]

GC controller, no question here

 

[Negi-Kun]

Obviously GC

 

[GrEeLeYeStAtEs]

my gamecube controller had war signs and the stick will not be sooo comfortable without a part of it XD
i only want to ask if the classic controller is the same as the gc (the c stick can be used as smash???)

 

[SinkingHigher]

GC. All the way.

 

[cj.Shark]

gamecube controller fanboys.
CONTROLLER DOESNT MATTER(cept wiimote)
there is nothing wiimote+nc-Gamecube controller or classic controller can do that the other cant.
Learn to set up button controls

 

[Korea4ever]

With the obvious fact that GC has the c-stick, I feel tha it's better contoured to fit your hand, and the placement for A, B, X, and Y are a lot better. And c-stick. But try them both anyway, and if you prefer the classic, I say go for it.

 

[paul1290]

With a classic controller you don't really have to tap the stick to do a smash attack and doing a tilt only requires an ever so slight push.

I guess that could go either way depending on whether or not you have problems doing tilts. If you can do tilts and smash attacks with the classic controller you do eliminate some human lag because of the shorter distance your fingers have to travel, but I'd imagine the difference would be so small that the effort needed to get used to it after using the GC controller for so long would more than offset it.

Also you have jump buttons right next to both the A and the B button on the classic controller. So if you play a character where short hopping B attacks is important then that could help somewhat.

Other than that they're similar enough that your choice between the two probably wouldn't help or hurt you much at all.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

GC definitely.

My GC broke and I'm using a CC til my new controller comes in the mail...I don't like it at all

 

[UltraPuff]

Classic... I actually find it easier to use.

 

[ginobeeto]

Most people will use the GC controller just because they're used to it from melee.

 

[meta master]

this thread hasnt been lock yet? that strange

 

[TLMarth]

I am probably biased, having used GC in Melee forever, but GC.

 

[ihatemybrother]

The Classic Controller has more buttons. It allows for more customization of controls. If people are willing to break old habits, they will see how the Classic Controller allows for optimal play.

Using Zr for jump is too amazing.

It like clawing without sacrificing your hand position.

Try it.

 

[Tangy]

GC, we're all used to it. Too bad they're not selling them anymore.

Only in America.


Now where have I heard that before...

 

[Shana]

Yeah, but if you were referring to the lawsuit -

Nintendo is appealing it because a patent on all joysticks is too broad and if they still lose they can still settle then make more controllers.

No reason not to use the GameCube Controller tbh. I know it is a little rough to find them if you live in small areas, but you can order nice ones from PlayAsia (the white ones XD).

I wish everyone would point out the fact that this is only in America. People who haven't heard of this might freakout and buy 100 controllers...
