In detail: The 1.X.X models of phobs required more power and had to use the rumble motors 5V power line and on some wiis that power line can stop working temporarily which on an OEM or 2.X.X phob only stops the rumble from working while on an 1.X.X stops the entire controller from working.

    The panda controller was actually doomed from the beginning. 2 days after the kickstarter launched, Nintendo told them to shut it down. Alan said they would have to get actual licensing from Nintendo and planned on doing it and restarting the Kickstarter but still same deal.

    The fact that they didn't have a license wouldn't have been a problem. There are no laws that require a manufacturer of a controller to get a license it just makes developing and selling it far easier. What would have been a problem is the fact that Nintendo has a patent on the gamecube controller which doesn't expire until August 4th of this year.

    Smash players are terrible at hardmodding controllers. Every time I see soldering jobs for $300+ controllers, there's always way too much solder on one point, way too little, cracked soldering, board and point burning and flux left on the board. This is even a problem for really big modders. I guess its about right for a community that's horribly scared of new controllers to not know how to properly mod them.

    I’m pretty sure part of the reason the goomwave dropped off because there was multiple people, all approved as goomwave modders who started to have beef with each-other, with different people claiming stuff like they were the real ‘official’ goomwave modder, the best one, or better than specific other modders, and people got confused by or scared off from the situation. Also people got tired of having to buy a well made but expensive controller that required regular maintenance since it would still develop pode. Also, the phob was coming out, so it was pretty much better since the magnet sensors don’t have potentiometers, so pode isn’t an issue. And since it was open source there’s less ‘official modder’ drama, you can get whatever decent modder (who knows what they’re doing) to make you one, and it’s cheaper if you have access to and can use a soldering iron

    Melee's controller situation has gotten a good deal of criticism for being "pay to win" but I'll be honest, I find the further and further advancement of controllers super fascinating to witness. At a local I went to recently, I chatted with a local controller modder and the level of technical know-how some of these people have is absolutely astounding. The guy had installed a screen into the side of his Wii so he could check the controller input polling or control stick angles (I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what it was for, it's been a minute since I saw it and I was talking with him about a lot of stuff beyond that). And witnessing the technical arms race of gamecube controller and box controllers has been kind of fun to watch once you just let go of all the accusations coming from people about "cheater controllers." It is genuinely a shame that the range of $60-ish controllers for people to start out on is quite literally non-existant, anyone looking to buy a controller these days is pretty much looking for 10 year old controllers from back when smash 4 was reproducing the controller, or something highly customized to the point that they're essentially designer 3rd-party controllers. I don't know if pay-to-win is 100% the correct term to use, it's not like professional athletes are playing with cheap equipment like tennis rackets, bats, balls, bowling balls, shoes, etc, it's not an entirely inaccurate statement to make if a new player is just trying to play some games on slippi and is looking to move away from using some x-input controller they've been gaming on pc with.

    I've been using a xbox pro controller (x-input) into slippi for years. Also the controller input screen is a gimmick you can use to see your opponent's inputs during the game. It allows you to know the exact angle of a fox/falco Up-B for example, among other ways you can glance at their inputs to take advantage of a situation.

    I think one of the reasons boxx style controllers are not more common is because basically all of them become instantly sold out. It's actually really hard to get them. In fact even right now your options is usually wait months for a controllers. Though in the last two years there was like 3 good options but now there are like 8 good options so the scariccity of controllers are slightly less of a issue. It's still super expensive and hard to get.

Just the Idea that panda global has some or any control of a multi billion dollar company is just absurdity and the hate hinged on this being the case. So now there are no leagues for smash, any hope of a governing body formed ruined, and one of the biggest organizations contributing and subsizing smash, that included a major news and content channels for smash, is defacto dead.

The amazon ones are insanely cheap but break after 1 week. I bought a few random controllers and I found the Retro Fighter BattlerGC. I ordered it and had to wait over a year to get it. It randomly showed up one day. I tried to use it only to find the left stick had inverted controls. They ignored me when I asked for a swap or refund. I ended up finding an original orange one for 10$ at a garage sell, plus a silver one from a highschool friend who did play competitive melee.

    My take: Gamecube controllers are just awful; they are terrible as far as ergonomics goes, and makes it impossible to do certain things consistently. The second we are no longer talking about developing SKILL to pull something off, but simply nerfing clearly superior input methods to match the lack of consistency of a controller that is garbage, we should just admit that these controllers need to go and we should allow these new types of controllers without the majority of these nerfs. Hell, if you want to talk about a barrier to entry, you will spend LESS on one of these box style controllers than you would some modded controllers... and the controllers WILL wear out, and fast.

I use a fight stick because I enjoy the feel of it, but the difference is with proper technique I can avoid injury. The fact is it is both inferior ergonomically, less consistent, doesn't last as long, and is more expensive than the newer types of controllers.

    ngl i simply disagree, I've played melee on gcc, Xbox controllers, briefly on b0xx, ps4 controllers, switch pro controllers, and of all of them the face button placement for the gcc works best for my hands personally. I think they're poorly made on a production and material quality level, and need to be held under more scrutiny when possible, but a lot of the raw design aspects i really like. I like the stick heights and placements, I like the L and R triggers vertical feeling over the hinge design of most others, I like the octagon gates around the stick as opposed to circular gates like the Xbox or ps4, there's just a lot i really like about it. I agree with the barrier of entry to some degree, but I think it's so dependent on your history with games that like, no answer is a perfect skill curve for everyone. I grew up with a gamecube, not a pc or hitbox, so learning melee competitively was likely a lot easier for someone like me compared to someone even like, a nintendo fan who skipped the gamecube or wii, even more with someone who's already played on a boxx or on pc where keyboard inputs at least acclimate your hands to that board-style. but yeah, gccs are really poorly built, but I do think their design is almost my perfect controller no joke. Just gimme a ZL button, clickable sticks, and I'm sold for eternity lol

The GCC is just the standard because of the legacy melee has had on the scene and because it was practically the only good controller you could get for two smash games (melee and brawl). If I remember correctly, in smash 64 you can use almost everything and people have entered with keyboards. I think the same also applies to PM but I'm not 100% sure.

    The melee scene should make an open source clone of melee that has all the nintendo IP removed. This way people can implement not only the controller fixes, but also online play without having to deal with copyright BS. Nintendo may have built the pitch, but they shouldn't own the game.

    Hey I think this is a great video, but I have 1 small criticism, and that is that it seems like you didn't review your script before doing VO. I noticed some factual errors and awkward wording, some of which you noticed and corrected while in the editing process, but I would recommend editing your script a bit earlier on in the process when you're doing this video essay style content. Ideally your script would be able to stand alone as a normal paper essay so I'd just recommend reading through it a few times and maybe even getting a friend to read it, see if there's anything that stands out as incorrect or unnecessary. Clearly a great deal of effort and research was poured into this video and it's a very comprehensive history, I love how it's laid out, I think the one extra pass of polish will take you so far and I'm excited to see more from you!

    If like to add something in defense of Alan of Panda. He did several interviews and released a statement that gave his side of the story. He said that he knew SWT was struggling to get a license so he was advising that if they didn’t want to potentially get shut down by Nintendo, getting Nintendo approved would be the safest path. No one knew what Nintendo would do and how strict they would be with their new licenses so it was smart to tell TOs about the danger. Also he left the company to separate the hate being targeted towards him form the company as not only that would potentially allow for its survival, but also because he and several of the employees, including the players, got doxxed. I recommend reading his statement and listening to his interview yourself but I really disagree the idea that he was to blame for SWT getting shut down. A random esports guy is not ordering around goddamn Nintendo.

    I mean the move to step away was definitely the right idea probably for the right reasons and he wouldn't have been able to influence Nintendo much but I feel like he and you both are seriously underselling the impact he had on TOs, especially when Nintendo's decisions during that time were under such strong scrutiny by the community and they very possibly might have reverted their decision to shut down SWT

    I feel like the wave dash values should be based on timing instead of randomized. If you want that perfect wave dash length you have to hit the buttons at a frame perfect timing, otherwise you'll get a weakened angle. I feel like this would also allow players to adjust their timing for mixups and gain more analog range in the digital input.

    Technically if we’re really thinking of where to put up since it’s right by your thumb which u use a lot when controlling your characters movement on a gcc. Plus your pinky is the least used finger along with your brain normally not thinking of using your pinky as often as it is using its other fingers. (Mainly what I’m saying is the important buttons should be regularly accessible ) where the least are further away i.e top to bottom instead of bottom to top as for other inputs in and out is best and make sure to cross your fingers as little as possible when doing more complex inputs. Cuz tbh the Boxx in terms of layout is kinda bias.(aka only favoring fox and falco) not trying to to complain im just saying if we’re making a product for-gamers(in this case melee players it has to be able to be use for any character they play)

Maybe i should design a controller in the shape of a sphere. I could sell them in packs of two called balls.

    The way you went about the panda cup story should have been done in a more neutral way. You went out of your way to say allegedly and then accused him of doing things for personal gain which makes saying allegedly earlier completely pointless. The general consensus of the community at the time of the controversy was colored by a lot of strong emotions for obvious reasons so I feel like when you look back at the facts and statements said at the time when it all went down you get a much more reasonable view of the situation. In my opinion Panda's CEO could have done things better, but it really wasn't as bad as everyone seemed to think at the time. It's really not obvious if it was just him being bad at optics or if it was malicious.

    controller software macros are explicitly banned in traditional fighting games too if it leads to illegal inputs like multiple button presses on one button, the in game macros are a completely different matter and are mre comparable to how everything in the controller remapping in something like P+ would be legal, external combinations and modifications are not allowed.
