Turbo and the turbo frequency I believe.
This image is old as dirt, it's been around not long after Brawl was announced. It's fake.
Is this for real? If it is do you think it could be a good replacement for the Gamecube Controller? (Notice that it is Pro Controller with a Gamecube Controller Layout, so it works with all games that the GCN Controller do not support and still has the GCN Controller Layout)

It does my heart good to see someone using one of my silhouettes as their avatar

I really love your silhouettes, I like Metaknight, and I want to main Bowser Jr. but i think it's silhouette isn't as good as Metaknight's. Do you think hoy could update it?
Maybe but I tried to keep the coloring consistent with Jr and the Koopalings, unfortunately it made him a little less good looking. We can discuss it in that thread if you like

The pro controller has two shoulder buttons, this would be meant to act as a pro controller being compatible with other games. Why would you disclude the other shoulder button? What benefit is that? Its 2014.

I've seen this before but I hadn't realized that it fixed the GCN controller's worst flaw- the control sticks. I don't think I can justify NOT picking one of these up now
These are the ones that have to plug into the Wii remotes to work. I like the idea of these controllers, but I don't want to plug into a Wii remote instead of the system since I'd be reliant on AA batteries instead of a direct cord connection or internal batteries that charge via cable.
Also, if someone wanted wireless GameCube controllers, they could use Wavebirds. I've left mine on for multiple days by accident and still had bundles of battery to spare.
They are digital, as smash and no other game on wii u recognises analog pressing. I think that is why some people mod their GCN Controllers to remove its coil
Well, that stinks. Thanks for the info, though. That was useful.
The HORI pad will not be allowed at tournaments because it has a turbo function, which are universally banned from pretty much all fighting game tournaments of any kind.
Most arcade sticks have a turbo function, that's pretty standard from what I can tell. Is this just a ban in Smash tournaments or just something I missed hanging out in Evo side tournaments last year? No mention was made of turbo functions in the Skullgirls or Melty Blood side tournaments, at least.
It can obviously vary depending on TO but I know for a fact that EVO for example outright bans turbo functions.
Well many tournaments may run the honor rule (don't use it or you're dq'd) but sometimes TOs don't even want to run the risk of a player abusing it somehow out of sigh, so they ban them altogether. I would avoid using a controller with it if I could just on the offchance this occurs.
For Smash that isn't an issue, the official controllers are what the game was designed for. I'm just really curious/concerned with regards to 2D arcade fighters, as those are designed for arcade cabinets and their sticks rather than any consoles' official gamepad, and pretty much any arcade stick I can find has a turbo function on it. I fail to see how a tournament could be run at all unless everyone happens to have super-basic sticks.
Let me rephrase.
Basically, Turbo makes it so that the controller automatically presses the button very rapidly for you. If you ever want to play Mario Party with your friends, make sure you take the controller with Turbo.
So I press A and the controller keeps sending the A signal?
That is correct.
Essentially it removes all essence of timing by allowing you to hit an input at the very quickest possible frame. This is obviously something that is greatly frowned upon in competitive play, I'm sure you can hazard a reason why.
That's more consistent with my experience. Confusion resolved.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense for this Hori GCN-like pad than for arcade sticks, as the typical arcade stick puts the turbo button far out of the way and makes the button difficult to press, so activating turbo by accident is near impossible. I wasn't considering how in the way the turbo button on 3rd-party gamepads is.
