The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller features similar layout of the Joy-Con Controllers when used in the vertical configuration, but in a similar form factor as the Wii U Pro Controller. Discussion arose among the professional Super Smash Bros. community as to whether the new controller should be considered legal for tournament use. In December 2016, Huffer was told in a private conversation with Genesis 4 organizers that the controller may be banned from the major Smash Bros. Melee tournament. After Huffer explained the situation to professional player Dustin "Gravy" White, the topic caught fire on social media. Huffer himself described the potential ban as "definitely unfair." [2] Tournament organizers were worried that allowing the Smash Box controller to be used in tournament play would allow other unconventional and possibly game-breaking controllers to be used as well. Genesis 4-organizer Sheridan Zalewski announced later that month that the Smash Box controller was allowed to be used in the tournament, noting that this would initiate a "test period" in which players could determine whether the controller gives an unfair advantage over players who use the traditional GameCube controller. [3] [4] Zalewski later stated that this concession was only made to accommodate competitors who had signed up without realizing their controllers would be banned. [5] The Wii U GamePad is fully compatible with Smash 4. In most cases, the touchscreen on the device will show the same video as that of the console itself. Furthermore, the game's Stage Builder supports the creation of custom platforms via drawing them on the touchscreen. If the GamePad is not used to play an actual match, then damage percentages of players are displayed on the unit; tapping the screen in this mode changes it to show the actual match in progress. The game also supports Off-TV Play, allowing players to potentially play the game without the need of an external television set. The controller's microphone can also be used in With Friends to talk with other players while waiting for matches to start. But one thing that's bound to happen is other people playing on your console for local matches (or if you need help against the insanely tough AI), and the whole switching around of settings and whatnot. Fortunately, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has made it super easy to keep everyone happy. The buttons are well placed and easy to get used to on the Switch Pro controller. Some users may find it tough to get adjusted to the shoulder buttons (trigger buttons) initially, but it should get better with time. The Nintendo Switch Pro controller has a long battery life, with up to 40 hours of usage with a single charge. It usually takes up to 6 hours to fully charge the Switch Pro, which is somewhat longer than conventional gaming controllers available today.

A later hardware revision of the console, the New Nintendo 3DS, added a small, secondary analog nub to the console on its right side, to the upper-left of the face buttons, as well as two new shoulder buttons; while such functionality is available for the standard 3DS via the Circle Pad Pro accessory, Super Smash Bros. 4 cannot support the accessory due to technical limitations involving how the Nintendo 3DS runs Smash 4. The New Nintendo 3DS also comes with built-in compatibility Near Field Communication, allowing for players to use amiibo with the console without any other accessories. Well, there are quite a few third-party and Nintendo’s own controllers that can significantly up your skills, and to some extent, performance. If you’re in the market for a new controller for your Nintendo Switch, particularly for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, this list will help you a great deal. We will talk about wireless controllers, wired, as well as GameCube controllers for good measure. D'Anastasio, Cecilia (2016-12-28). "Big Smash Bros. Melee Tournament Will Allow Controversial Controller". Kotaku.This was the first controller to be used in Super Smash Bros. and is one of two official controllers along with the Japan-only release, the Hori Mini Pad; or Hori for short. Compatible with the Nintendo 64, these two controllers see the most use in tournaments in Smash 64 with the original controller being more common. This is partially due to preference and also since Horis tend to be expensive as they need to be imported. Many players however also use a variety of other types of controllers such as GameCube, Xbox, and even keyboard. The scene is in general open to any alternative as long as the controller has no macros and only as many buttons bound as a Hori. To use this controller with Nintendo Switch, the GameCube Controller Adapter is required and is sold separately.

The GameCube controller is supported on Nintendo Switch consoles running system version 5.0.0. or higher.Programmable Macros or other mechanics that can make complicated sequences simpler to perform in ways the game does not account for. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an insanely fun game, as we've been playing it all weekend. There's a lot of different ways to enjoy Smash together with friends, and now you know how to get the most out of the game with various controller setups. The B0XX is an ergonomic alternative to the Nintendo Gamecube controller intended to service the competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee community. Designed by Melee professionals, the B0XX allows players to compete on a level playing field while preserving their hand health. In July 2017, a committee of five prominent Melee tournament organizers, including Zalewski, released a recommended ruleset for professional Melee competitions. This document includes a lengthy section imposing a "tentative ban" on the use of non-GameCube controllers such as the Smash Box controller, stating that the classic controller is "somewhat intrinsic to what we consider 'playing Melee' and the skills involved in doing so." Alex Jebailey tweeted his support for this decision and stated in an interview that alternative controllers "should rightfully be scrutinized and tested at a local level before being allowed to used in a major scale event." [6] The tournament legality of arcade controllers have been controversial, and they have been banned at some tournaments due to concerns over how much more effectively they could theoretically perform compared to a regular controller.

The general understanding is that every version of a particular controller model has the exact same latency. However, this is not always true. Aside from defective controllers that simply do not work as intended, errors during production could lead to two identical looking controllers having different amounts of latency. While the difference does technically affect gameplay, the difference is usually so miniscule that it often goes unnoticed. This is especially true among third party controllers, as there is no guarantee they went through the same type and amount of testing officially licensed controllers have gone through. Modifications like the Universal Controller Fix and others like it exist to midigate these minor discrepencies. Compatibility Play on GameCube out of the box - and Switch and PC with an adapter (more info in details below) A number of even cheaper options are also available, as adapters that plug directly into the Wii Remote instead of the console, though most of these adapters cause the game to read the GameCube Controllers as Classic Controllers instead. Due to global chip shortages, current Smash Boxes do not include GameCube adapters and do not have Gamepad Mode (ie, native PC plug-and-play). Within tournaments for Brawl, Project M, Smash Wii U, and Ultimate, the GameCube controller is by far the most popular option, due to the still-strong tournament scene of Melee and most players having the opinion of the GameCube controller being the best controller for Smash. Additionally, GameCube controllers do not have battery issues and they are considerably easier to connect to a Wii, as they do not require devoted processes for syncing them to different consoles. The Wavebird, however, is generally banned at large events; the controller allows for only sixteen potential channels between it and its dongle, and a large number of such controllers being used at once can potentially lead to interference issues between different players at different setups. In addition, players could set their controller to the same channel as another player on purpose to interfere with other players.

The 20MX Kit reduces the actuation force required to press the buttons by converting the default Sanwa buttons to mechanical keyboard switches. It also has increased durability and degrades less overtime. The DIY option allows the user to self install the switches with the included tools (about a 30-60 minute process). The installed option means the B0XX will come with switches pre-installed and ready to use. The GameCube controller can also be used as one of the four options of playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, via the Wii's built-in GameCube ports. The release of Super Smash Bros. for Virtual Console also added the ability to play the game with the GameCube controller, with the controls even slightly updated to make the controller manipulate the game more similarly to Melee. In tournaments, especially large ones, the wireless nature of the Pro Controller can be problematic, both for the users and the people around them. Tournaments typically have large amounts of wireless interference, which makes using the Pro Controller wirelessly potentially unreliable. In addition, wireless Pro Controllers can still send inputs to the console they are synced with even when the controller is far away if not manually disconnected, which often results in unwanted inputs being sent to consoles by accident. This has become less of an issue over time, as the Switch operating system has added the ability to disconnect all wireless controllers from the console in the system settings and because Smash Ultimate was patched to let any player disconnect a controller, even other people's controllers. Only one GamePad can be synced to and used on a Wii U console at a time, so if two or more players wishing to use the GamePad were to play a match, only one would be able to use it. a b D'Anastasio, Cecilia (2016-12-09).
