To be honest, I find the controller committee to be a little childish or argumentative by not including you in discussions before submitting their proposal. You are the main manufacturer of the most popular arcade style 3rd party controller. You know more about melee mechanics like this than just about anyone. They *know* you don't agree with their changes, and that this would be contentious, and chose to publish their ruleset anyway without consulting you. Disappointing and childish from them, even if you do have bad blood in the past with them.

It is b cause some of the solutions are uninformed and a bit impulsive. The Neutral SOCD choice was just stolen from Hitbox nerfs following the past couple years of FGC discussion. The viability of nerfs for leverless controllers in those games hinges on the fact that certain characters get more intuitive controls, like charge characters and grapplers that use 360/720 inputs. In melee it'll just fuck with your dash inputs, which isn't intuitive at all considering the GameCube controller NEVER has this problem unless your controller has dash back problems. At what point did we go from fixing inconsistencies to manually programming them back in due to "compromised" competitive initiative?

On GCC, when you dash dance you're moving your stick through neutral all the time (this is fine, granted it's probably not usually polled exactly at neutral). No one is saying that a neutral input breaks dash dance. It is most intuitive to press Left + Right repeatedly to dash dance on the box. Given Neutral SOCD, pressing Left before you've completely let go of right will cause a neutral input, which would break your dash dance most likely unless you decide to input Left again (which ofc no one dash dances like that lol). So usually you'll get Left, Neutral, Left for example, which will cause you to fail your dash dance unless you press Right again (which would be for your following iteration of Left then Right).

The Gamecube controller cannot physically input 2 separate directions without letting go of one, the same as the SOCD requirement. The stick necessarily moves from making 1 input to the other in order to change directions, which you can emulate on the box by using 1 finger to swap directions. That is the NSOCD penalty the Gamecube controller has, the requirement of moving the stick from 1 side to the other. If you'd only use 1 finger, you would be subject to that same restriction of being unable to exist in 2 places at once. The possibility of using 2 independent fingers that can actuate 2 opposing directions simultaneously on the B0XX without going through any transition periods is why SOCD is required. SOCD enforces the same physical restrictions to the B0XX as those that exist on the Gamecube controller. Complaining about the need to release an input is a skill issue. Using C-stick inputs as a work around is fine. On a stick, you must physically transition through neutral/other positions, the B0XX should need to do the same. Not sure why you say the Gamecube doesn't run the risk of a dash not coming out when you can absolutely be polled in neutral while transitioning directions if you're too slow, just like SOCD would cause on the B0XX. That said, the travel-time algorithm could also handle that issue imo There is an extremely simple and easy argument against being able to input the exact same perfect angles repeatedly: It's inhuman and might as well be a cheat. The interface is circumventing skill limitations/execution difficulty. While it is true that RNG reduces the impact of skill, the B0XX already does that by default via perfect reproducibility. The intuition aspect is one that the GC controller suffers from already, as it is extremely difficult to note the exact angle you are inputting before you see its results, the feedback is not perfect. Otherwise top players wouldn't fail firefox angles as often as they do, despite the large amount of time they have to react to the "intuitive" feel of the stick position. It's your opinion that the values you've chosen for the B0XX angles are balanced, and that angles must be mirrored. These aren't facts. The L and R modifiers can also be used, despite the introduction of travel-time RNG. It is not a fact that they can't be used. Unless the rules specifically ban them, it isn't true that they can't be used. Even with them not used, it isn't necessary that you keep the angles you've assigned to the B0XX without them. The non-modified angles can still be nerfed as a compromise if you see the air-dodge potential as being too great, even if there is collateral to such a change. Regardless, I'd rather see these nerfs later, when the "scourge" of the B0XX threat starts consistently taking tournament wins in 20XX. Until then, I think the committee should chill and take a step back.

This is highlighting the glaring faults of the so called "controller comittee". Neither considering how Melee and the Boxx work, either due to incompetence or bias, shows that the people involved should not be the ones making decisions for the community in that case.

Would it be possible to create a box controller with pressure-sensitive buttons, but with the button pressure values mapped to the values of the analogue stick output? Might sacrifice some ergonomics for a more equal gamecube controller alternative.

I don't understand what "data" would be needed before switching from a 4 frame to 8 frame lockout on up tilt unless that data was empirical data compared between users of different controllers, which you've disputed as being arbitrary
@EdDevil

"data" could imply anything from new tech being discovered to new applications. If they lock it at 8 frames but then something is found that can be done on that 9th frame then what? Or if the lockout is at 8 and the GCC can do something within that same equivalent on the 7th frame. Otherwise I think he argues more for it to stay at 4 unless there's any non arbitrary reason to raise it to a specific frame.

The ability to do things normally impossible with normal controllers is real and doesn't have a solution. Its impossible to not let leverless sticks input 2 opposing directional inputs without making it a shortcut making them able to do things that are impossible to reproduce with any other controller. If there was a way to make it physically not possible to press opposite direction at the same time, then it could be legal. Because that would make them work like sticks and directinal cross. Its not possible to make pressing opposing direction impossible therefore leverless sticks and keyboards have to be illegals. Its as simple as that and apply for any fighting games.

@@jiaan100 Unfortunately US copyright law gives the power to nintendo as gameplay footage/streaming is considered a performance of their copyrighted material rather than the streamer creating something new. They could likely do whatever they want off stream but of course they would lose a ton of money doing that. There are potential loopholes like hosting the stream from a country that does not comply with US or international copyright law but that's a whole new can of worms. They could also create a game that plays exactly like Melee but with legally distinct characters and call it Mega Slap Sisters Close Range Fighting or something, but no one would watch that and it would still accomplish nintendo's goal of killing the scene. One thing you and I can do is never ever give them even one cent again and pirate all their games.

Hax, I strongly believe you need to work on limiting 'verbal diarrhea'. Eliminate most adjectives like 'many' for example, and word sentences shorter. At 2:39 for example. The last sentence of the second paragraph could read "The discussion is disorganized and rarely quantifies why the boxx is the problem." For the start of the third paragraph you could put '"In this video I will explain the intricacies of the two controller types.'" Same message being delivered; more digestible. As a whole, if taken the time to revise what was written there it would be about half as long while conveying the same information. Another thing is put down the thesaurus. Instead of using the word 'vitriol' why not use the word criticism? Using unordinary words doesn't make anybody sound smarter or any argument more impactful. In my opinion doing these simple things can make your videos better.

calling gc users disabled is rude, i don't get this argument are you saying that because gamecube controllers are flawed even tho we have a way to fix alot of the design issues, we shouldn't because it still wouldnt be equal, so instead of giving the swimmer with one arm another just as good arm, we till him that we can fix his arm but that we aren't going to, and that he should get fucked. but still it lacks any solid reason on why they wouldn't be equal with the proposed gc buffs, worse yet even less reasoning on why buffs to the gc would be bad in the first place, to top it off you hardly make any sense at all, your whole argument is based on things you clearly know little about and is barely readable, please log off.

I think there's a few major differences in how you Hax and the committee view nerfs of rectangles and what their goals are. Firstly they care about all digital-only input devices, not just the B0xx, explaining the L-R mod buff. And secondly you seem to care about finding some sort of skill parity in the list of specific gameplay mechanics you identify as being a potential advantage for B0xx users. Whereas the committee seems to aim to get digital control inputs closer in behaviour to an analogue stick. Two very fundamentally different approaches to nerfing rectangles. It's a miracle the B0xx is legal to begin with, it was technically even banned in the official ruleset all the way through 2022(?). It was just tolerated because we don't have a single authority when it comes to the competitive ruleset. I think it's kinda telling that a player like Pipsqueak intentionally didn't do certain techniques because he deemed them too strong on rectangles... IMO rectangles without an analogue stick should just never have been legal to begin with. There'd be way less nerfing discussions and probably more stricter controller modding too. From a spectator POV it is IMO also a bit lame that you can identify two different groups of players based on just gameplay alone. A choice of controller shouldn't have that massive of an impact on how the game is played.

Censorship is crazy man. Maybe I could redo it and let’s see if u keep deleting it. Chatgpt changed the entire thing :) My comments are getting removed by the channel moderator, which I find to be extreme censorship. I'm sharing evidence on my KZitem channel. My suggestion was to create two leagues: analog and digital. It doesn't make sense to enhance controllers or diminish digital capabilities. Digital formats have their own set of pros and cons, and striving for absolute parity isn't justifiable. Take the case of the Nike Vaporfly shoes. They were banned in competitions due to the significant edge they provided, despite their health benefits. It's a similar situation with digital formats; prioritizing them disrespects the traditional standards of the sport. In sports like competitive swimming, you don't see swimmers with a physical disability using flippers to level the playing field. Or in baseball, a player with a disability using an aluminum bat. Such measures don't truly achieve equality; there will always be disparities and ongoing debates about their fairness. I'm incredibly frustrated as my earlier, more detailed explanation was deleted. To clarify, think of the Olympics and Paralympics as separate entities. If we apply this to the controller debate, by segregating digital and analog into their respective leagues, the controversy becomes irrelevant. Hax, I'm directly addressing this to you and your team. Deleting my comment was an unfair action. I've saved this text and will repost it with additional proof if further action is taken against my new comment. I'm also prepared to present more evidence on the subreddit, so I advise you to reconsider your approach.

This will be the same thing as MnK vs Controller + Aim assist, the boxx is much more precise and consistent because of angle modifiers and digital buttons there is no real way to balance a digital input vs an analog one (input lag would create a weird feeling for digital buttons). The fact that the boxx on itself is allowed to be played in tournaments is baffling to me. I dont know how this is going to evolve but I predict is gonna be in a similar way of how Apex Legends is rn with inputs, one will slowly overtake the other, many people will swap to it and gonna start finding loop holes, more rules will come over and over again nerfs and buffs, loyal people will remain in GC and will always have a hatred for BOXX, which on itself will cause more division and that is something that the melee community does not need, we're already hated by nintendo and are 20+ years old. Hax if you see this plese answer to me this: *What about introducing an analog stick just like the arcade pads? Wouldn't that just resolve every single problem with angles and digital inputs/reactions?*

Up front, I played on GCC as a technical Fox main for 8+years. I switched to B0XX in March 2021, and after 2.5 years, I switched back to GCC (using full claw/javi claw, which offers access to more buttons and less abuse to my right thumb). To address your final question - the reason an arcade-style stick is not going to work has to do with the reason the b0xx was made in the first place - ergonomics. Dash-dancing with your thumb is one of the least healthy motions about the gamecube controller. I visited a Physical Therapist after using the GCC gave me RSI, tendonitis and trigger finger in my right index finger. They took one look at the dash dancing motion and said "that will give you thumb arthritis." EXPANDING this motion to your wrist would be even worse and would cause damage to your wrist joint over time. Not related to your question - I switched back to GCC because having access to all angles is, imo, FAR BETTER than having access to the few values b0xx gives you. I have felt the buff to my control of my character and ability to reactively change my wavedash / firefox angle, and can confidently say GCC is incomparably better in this regard. The only advantages B0XX has, imo, relate to flaws in the game's code + the microscopic advantages of consistently reaching 1.0 cardinals one frame quicker than GCC.
