I'm okay with no new Smash for Switch. Not because I'll buy it again, but because that should hopefully mean that Sakurai isn't chained to the series anymore and can finally work on new IPs. I'm still holding out for a good reason to buy a Switch anyway.

Two stage shoulder buttons, really comfortable to hold, and a practical face button layout. Nearly every console game has one face button you press the most, so they made that button bigger and in the center, with the other buttons right next to it for near instant access. The only real downside is that it makes pressing certain combinations of the outer buttons, simultaneously, a bit difficult.
That's not to say I don't think it has issues. The c-stick is great for quick flicks, but sucks as a second control stick. The d-pad is decent, but it's way too small. The lack of a left bumper is just baffling. So is the lack of the select button.

Please tell me how many games have controls that require pressing so many combinations of face buttons that the gamecube controller would be a legitimate issue. There's still four combinations of two buttons you can easily hit simultaneously, which is the same number as the standard diamond layout.

Kinda sorta. My first console was a Genesis, followed a few years later by the N64. My family got a ps2 and a gamecube around the same time, but the ps2 was the earlier console by a few months. I had plenty of experience with the standard diamond layout of the ps2 before using the gamecube.

I don't remember having any problems with how the triggers felt. Maybe it's because I haven't used them in years.
The tech behind them is what makes them good. Push them all the way and they click, which can do extra things in games.
Super Mario Sunshine used this for the water gun. Soft press to run while spraying, hard press to stop. Luigi's Mansion let you fire blasts with a quick hard press.
The Steam controller uses dual stage triggers too. In FPS games you can bind soft pull to sprint and hard to jump, or soft pull to aim and hard to fire. In racing games you can bind soft pull to accelerate and hard to boost. There are so many ways to put them to use but for some reason they fell out of favour.

87c930 No.13656977
>>13656879
A lot of console games don't bother with analog triggers and just use them as buttons. Shooting games tend to use them for firing guns and aiming down sights. Action games use them for dodging or targeting. For these games, any press beyond the threshold for the trigger being on is wasted. It makes rapidly pressing a trigger harder, which puts you at a disadvantage.
Modded controllers solve this by adding something to physically limit how far you can press the trigger. Dual stage triggers have the solution built in, where you just press the digital click to fire.
9e27da No.13656979
>>13656879
How is having a tangible feeling of pulling the trigger fully versus partially a bad thing? The "click" not only feels good, but it gives you more feedback than the triggers of modern controllers.

That's like asking how having analog buttons on the playstation controller is a feature. It gives you more control with no downside.

If a game requires repaid presses of the triggers, the GameCube controller won't serve me any better in that regard. It will take me more time and effort NOT to try to exceed the first stage than if I were just to press them all the way.
Honestly think the Xbone Elite Controller is king for this reason. All it takes is a flip of a switch to change the amount of travel the triggers have.

The Gamecube triggers are a bit stiff for that use. I use the Steam controller for Gamecube emulation because they keep the dual stage design but the triggers are nicer. I just wish dual stage triggers survived a generation or two more before being ditched. Even analog face buttons lasted longer and they're even more gimmicky.
It's nice to hear that the X1 elite has a built in solution for rapid firing. I just figured it was an X1 pad with swappable sticks and dpad.
