If this is the case then why did a pro player quit a tournament because he couldn't find a controller that was defective in the right way to allow him to do a specific movement strategy?

because gamecube controllers are finnicky and often have high variance of builds
when you get used to your pad its incredibly difficult to play with someone elses off the bat.

this is an analogue fighting game so yeah, theres a lot that can be affected.

if you think he dropped out because of a "glitch technique" then you're going to have to explain yourself a bit.

I mean Nintendo doesn't push the Mario Party scene either so I don't know what they're expecting. Free balloons and cake?

Imagine if they actually did that? I'd love it.

kotaku kind of explained the whole thing.
can't say how much accurately though since i'm not a smash player

I would avoid playing Smash for a living. The Melee player scene should be happy Nintendo is not actively trying to shut down events instead of just ignoring them.

This is some incredibly myopic shit right here.

That's a ridiculous reduction of what the issue actually is. There's an inconsistency with how the game polls inputs which makes moving backwards only consistent with like 3-5% of controllers. That has nothing to do with strategy or abusing a glitch to win.

How can you expect a pro player to play at his peak when there's a random chance he's randomly get stuck in the turn around animation?

These fave Smash version wars are utterly embarassing. You guys should be proud to be part of the same community instead of acting like giant diaper babies towards each other tbqh.
