Why I Switched to Smashbox
Ойындар
Switching to Smashbox happened last August, and I want to explain some benefits as well as dispelling some myths about it.

also one of the biggest positives of the smashbox to me is just build quality and consistency, seems like gamecube controllers can develop annoying problems with little use, like in my own experience and others I've merely heard of

I am using the same Gamecube controller that I have had since 06. How dare you call the build quality of GC controller into question. They are the most robust controller ever made (in my opinion) . This smash box thing has been barely out for two years so who the heck actually knows if it's build quality will have it last the test of time

Would it be possible to map directional inputs on buttons on traditional controller (gamecube or procon)?

Do keep in mind what ESAM says from 7:05 to 8:55. I bought a box controller and regret it, cause I don't really use characters that would play better on this and it's a massive commitment to learn. I highly recommend that you ask someone to lend it to you if possible so you can test it out before buying, or build a cheap DIY box first
ESAM can you make a video outlining a movement training regiment for general "movement things" you should be able to do consistently (like what you described with "attack cancel backward upair into dash attack", etc.)
is there a mod to get a button to have max walking speed on forward and back that is downloadable some where. Also how are you getting so many angles with up B
What are you using to visualize the inputs?
How do you turn off jump with left stick
Great frickin video. I JUST got a box (guy on eBay) and this video could not come out at a better time! =)
Esam, after you explained this it made a lot of sense. I'm a player who sweats in their hands which has been a huge thing for me in tournaments. I have tried wearing gloves and training in gloves, fans, and wraps. If I just had this, I wouldn't have those issues. Every time I have messed up a recovery because my finger slips and I am pushing the core of my hand and the length of my thumb to aim in a 'guess' ... all of that could be fixed with this. -----off topic I wish there were an organization of pro players, developers, and media available to come together to turn Smash into an Olympic or professional sport. Then maybe we could see these cheaper and more accessible perhaps.

Accessibility is why open source controllers like Phob and OpenFrame1 are really important. It isn't good to have the production of reliable controllers in the hands of a few individuals and companies. Since anyone can access those two they can create their own implementations and try to bring the cost down and supply up

I feel like controller is easier to learn and understand the game well, then box might be an option to take things to the next level. And I’m thinking controller because you’ll lean heavily on KZread videos to learn about tech and how to do different things, and I’ve never seen any videos like that specific to box but maybe that doesn’t matter

Controller is easier to begin with, but it's easier to begin learning box without as much muscle memory on controller
I prefer to use a Frame1, B0XX or LBX just for ease of use (although with the LBX you do have to download firmware, but the most common is to use one that mimics the B0XX). With the Smashbox you gotta adjust angles yourself for whatever character you plan to play. The Frame1, B0XX, and LBX have pre-programmed layouts that can accommodate most, if not all characters without needing more than two modifiers.

I should get a controller kind of like this being primarily a PC gamer for most of my life. WASD feels a lot more natural to me. These things are just way too far out of my price range. There are arcade style sticks for far less but I have the same sort of issue with them that I have for a gamepad joystick. I suppose an arcade stick has more feedback though.

not to be a hater, but legality on smashbox specifically will start to come in ult as it has on melee. 1. double up zip angles are banned in melee for pika melee. it will come for pika ult as well. 2. SOCD cleaning has to be mandatory. There is a reason why it is called CHEATBOX and SOCD is one of the key reasons why. First/last input priority shouldn't exist. 3. As a smashboxx player you should declare your angles and modifiers [there will be a set of angles that players can only use]. It will be most likely that you will have to run on default (only letting you have x1,x2, y1,y2 and the two modifiers as in Smashbox videos) 4. No extra profiles, you can only use 1 profile (it does not matter if you multi main, you can only have one profile, which likely will be default) as i said not to be a hater, but if melee people are adamant of rectangles (and SMASHBOX specifically), then yeah this changes will likely take place, in ultimate.
