Banned Controllers for Melee (Legal Ones too) 

That’s the main reason I do not like bootleg controllers. Once you feel the real thing everything else feels so off

Hearing those squeaks brought back repressed memories.....

I used this controller for Melee with friends. The joystick cover came off. You played with an analog stick of hard plastic. It *sucked*.

@@bb010g wow

no it was his hands actually did you even watch the video or did you just look at the trans script my god oh my god god

It is a nice slinky tho

Accessibility is fucking awesome.

@@LoneWanderer905 Indeed!

Heh. Nice.

@FightingDreamerS4 A shame few people are interested in accessibility as anything other than an excuse to make games easier. Usually the ultrawoke journo types.

​@@KopperNeoman no one is doing that? tf u r talking about

Why don’t you intend to?

​@@zachsteinerI think the section on how much the controllers alone cost is as good of an explanation as you can get

He reminds me so much of EmpLemon...

​@@lemonov3031i emu play with an old PS3 controller, basically for free.

Same here.

I’ve always wanted to show up to a tournament holding that thing so I’m glad someone actually did.

That one dude in guilty gear got top 8 at a big tourney with a wheel controller

@@jamieyakimets839 i actually did. the ASCII controller's sheer girth allowed me to play smash ever so slightly longer before my hands would cramp up. The price of these controllers doubled ever since i got mine, so i figured i'd try DIY' ing a b0xx controller, which ended up being a cheaper alternative to getting another ASCII controller. I can now play melee for hours on end without any issues, though it took me a month or so to get back to the point i was on GCC.

@@TheseAreOurGames A diy b0xx sounds very interesting. At it’s core, it’s just a box with big, easily replaceable buttons on top. Probably registering inputs via an arduino or something. Seems so simple and cheap in my mind, which almost surely means I’m missing something. How much did that run you and was it hell to make?

@@OGSumo Actually, you hit the nail on the head, as i used an arduino micro and keyboard microswitches with circular keycaps to put it all together. It's actually pretty simple to make, and can be done for as little as 25 bucks if you already have a soldering iron ( though i mostly used jumpers myself to make things easier). I do have to stress that it's mostly simple to make because Crane provides the source code for the arduino, as well as schematics. His video on building a DIY Frame1 out of a cardboard box ( found here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-trGa98tEy_0.html ) covers just about anything you'd need to get started. If you find the idea of building all this a bit too daunting, or if you want to simply try the concept without the time or monetary investment, there are also scripts available to turn your keyboard into a b0xx.

i mean, isn't that the case with most TAS-run games? or am i missing something

this has been the case with many speedruns for different games for a very long time now as well

@@altreon3608 Tool Assisted Speedruns (and Superplays) are different in nature from a player versus player environment. Sure, you can make some absolutely beautiful superplay sequences - just look up SSBB TASes, there's some good decade-old videos out there - but it's more of a spectacle written frame-by-frame before being played back in sequence, rather than two separate players playing to win in real time. TASes are composed over days, weeks, months; the outcome of a match is settled by the seat of your pants.

@@JulieLamia i'm referring to the "held back by physical bodies" bit. aren't TASes mainly meant to show what could be possible were we not limited by our human capabilities? thus meaning all video games have skill levels that are unachievable due to our natural limitations?

I mean any game with reactions is being held back by human reaction times

Yeah like how did V turn to ひ, i don't really think they made this keyboard well

I saw aziz at a local here in MA, and asked him where he found the energy to keep trying and keep going thru all that bullshit. he told me it was all 4 the game. melee is a masterpiece lmao

Hax$ and his controller henchman: "My lord, is that legal?" "I will _make it_ legal."

Hax knows so much about melee it's absurd. One of the most passionate people in the community.

Why wasnt it legal at the start?

@@kallixo people were afraid because the original model could potentially allow macros for easy multishines, Wavedash back, and shield drop. He had to patch it to make it more comparable to GCC if I recall correctly

Thanks GRsmash, very nice

They didn't want a tester. They wanted an endorsement, pretending to be a tester.

@@NickyVideogames Sauce?

Will say Hax has a special skill for pissing people off but yeah company looks dumb af on this one

I'm assuming squishy and greasy rubber

The stick probably goes Tack instead of Tick

@@tekaname4188 Not at all. It's shaped slightly different, but it feels identical to hold. The control sticks are a sizeable improvement from the official controller (at least over my official controller), with the left stick having a really nice rubber grip that surprisingly hasn't degraded or melted one bit over the last 9 years. The stick's travel is great, and has almost zero snap back (which is something I can't say about most of the controllers I own). The c stick is also quite a bit larger, which is nice considering the tiny stub that was the official gamecube c stick. As he said in the video, the L and R buttons suck, the face buttons feel a bit cheap, and the d-pad is a bit worse (although I think he over exaggerated how much worse considering what the actual gamecube d-pad is like). But I'm pretty sure his Z button is just defective, since mine feels perfectly fine. All in all, I don't know if I could make the statement that the Gamestop controller is a ripoff, considering it is better in some ways and worse in others. It's certainly the best 10 dollar controller I've ever used, probably the best controller under 30 dollars that I've ever used, and I think it's unfair to group it in with all of the other terrible bootleg nintendo controllers. ...Although the buttons do squeak if you press them a certain way

I own the black version of it, and its way different than the white one. You can feel when the shoulder buttons hits, the buttons don't squeak, the d pad actually works nicely, there's no bump on the front the plastic doesnt feel that cheep just glossy but the back is textured and matte, But there is a problem with that the z button is definitely not great and the switch should have been placed higher up.

I own the gamestop controller

“Hm, this man has a literal keyboard paired against my controller... Either this guy is insane and gonna be a pushover... Or this guy knows something I don’t...” “WAIT HE’S CHOOSING GANNONDORF?!? I YIELD! I REFUSE TO FACE THAT MONSTER!”

Art is a french peach/fox player who plays on a FUCKING KEYBOARD with an arduno to translate inputs for the console. and yes, I get bopped by him in pools, I know the feeling.

@@Jreamzzz the community isn’t what it used to be. Back then channel swapping wasn’t really a huge thing, there was always people on every map and you’d either party with them or share parts of the map. The towns, all of them, were always FULL of people. Back then, kerning used to be the most populated town. Drop parties were also very common. Party quests, jump quests, all of those fun little things to do with other people are just void of any soul. All maplestory is now is grind and bossing, with henesys as a hub for socializing. Hell, I remember even back then in the era of private servers, those still had more of a community than maple does now. Maplestory isn’t dead, but it might as well be for the old head fans
