imagine recruiting a tester, not listening to his feedback, and then threatening him. edit: apparently the video was cut, here is what Tamoray summorized in the replies: "@Sleepy Izaya the video had part cut out i dont know exactly why but it was a segment about how the box existed. Hax had his hands injured playing melee. A company wanted to team up with him to test a new controller. They invited him. He tried it and said it was uncomfortable and gave some criticisms to help. Apperantly they didnt take his advice and put out the controller anyway. He decided to make his own controller instead (the box) and the previous company sued him. Im telling you all of this just based on memory hopefully it still clear. EDIT : apperantly he cut the part because of Hax involvemnt in recent controversy"

@@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.

@@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?

@TheseAreOurGames 3 жыл бұрын

@@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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qth3lJxp2avdj2Q.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.

@@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

@hk7498 3 жыл бұрын

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.

honestly rewatching this video, it just struck me how kinda similar the controller vs keyboard input deal works in a game like rocket league. while i havent heard of anything related to custom DualShock or DualSense controllers for the game, i can imagine it with certain movement techs, which just like Fox up smash, require the same precision of not hitting the deadzone and totally flailing your car and leaving the net wide open, but in the same way the BOXX helps to mitigate analog failings, keyboard is 100% consistent if you know what youre doing, but starting a game like rocket league from scratch is so debilitating just like i imagine it being in melee. somehow people can get really good at both, which is all the props to them. great video 100%

It's crazy that the 2018 version of the ruleset is still the most current one. The permitted controller section really needs to be revised. By default it doesn't allow boxed style controllers, and technically a lot of controller mods can be deemed illegal, giving TO's a lot of room for own interpretation. Seems pretty clear that technically a snapback capacitor should be illegal, as it's a hardware mod. Springs? Plugs? Tactile Z? That custom Gloomwave DX motherboard would also be a pretty big violation.

I like how controllers for Melee have become what swords were in medieval warfare: Very expensive pieces of equipment made specifically for one job and one job only that are extremely easy to break or otherwise damage and require regular maintenance.

@timhorton8085 2 жыл бұрын

Swords weren't used in medieval warfare. Swords were self defense weapons carried by the wealthy to defend themselves from muggings. Even landsknechts, famous for their use of zweihanders, carried them rarely and would use poleaxes in any sort of military engagement.

Fun fact about that gamestop controller: If you press the turbo button and the start button, the turbo speed is changed. What's shown in the video is the second fastest. There are 2 speeds slower than that, and it goes in a cycle. The fastest setting i think actually is enough to be frame perfect. But I've never tested this.

Just the transition from the modified melee controller, an advanced yet still standard controller for the game, the B0XX, a weirdly satisfying and very tactile controller despite not being anywhere close to what traditional controllers are, and finishing it off with the FUCKING KEYBIARD CONTROLLER was oddly terrifying as I saw the frankenstein combination of the two ends of controllers come together to make something both reasonable and incomprehensible at the same time.
