    Hey this is ScepKo from Vizwar Gaming. I work very closely with Nfreak from Mute City Customs and I just wanted to let you know that they do not make any custom buttons. Both Vizwar and Mute City Customs only specialize in painting controllers or consoles.

    Hey, If I wanted to be more consistent with inputting a pivot in melee, which thumbstick adjustment is recommended from battlerbeaver's?
    Stock: No modifications to the Mechanism. (Legacy Users may experience small deadzone from being used)
    Loose (soft): (Recommended) Lowered thumbstick tension, decreases effort to move the stick side to side and lowers the return to center force. (Legacy Users may experience small deadzone from being used)
    Super Loose (super soft): Lowest thumbstick tension offered that still maintains some return to center functionality. **You may see a slower return to center action when releasing the thumbstick from a shell contact point.**
    Increased (Tight): Increases the amount of force required to move the thumbstick from its center position. Great for small movements where you would not need to fully hit the shell.

    • @zenithSSBM
      @zenithSSBM  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What stick looseness you choose should be based on what tightness you like. Pivoting is a thumb movement (at least for me) idk if you use the sticks snapback or anything to pivot but i believe most people just move pivot inputs with their thumbs lol for that reason there really isnt a best option I believe. I like pivoting with a tight stick but thats just me. Just pick the option you like the most!

      You can buy used ones on amazon or ebay in good - new condition. Just bought an orange spice and silver one recently. The orange spice was in good condition and the silver was in very good. Upon arrival I was satisfied with both of them. The shells were in good condition and the cords as well. However the sticks were used and dont have that new feel. I plan on replacing them soon with maybe custom sticks or even sticks from other consoles like xbox or Wii pro controller.

    Really helpful video bro! I just have a quick question. I just recently bought an official GQ controller from a swap meet and I'm in the process of refurbishing it. I've looked into Battle Beaver and I like what I see but what I noticed was that they don't have the 3D joystick that goes under the joystick cap in stock. I have a bit of dead zone in the controller I bought so I'm thinking about replacing the joystick assembly entirely. My question is do you know of a place where they sell those where they don't wear out like most 3rd party ones do when playing smash?

    • @zenithSSBM
      @zenithSSBM  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Best buttons (readily available): Battle Beaver
      Best value (if you arnt the most picky on feeling like the originals): cheap ebay button sets. they come with sticks and triggers too. just quality control isnt the best so its sort of a gamble if ur set comes out good. theyre like $3 tho (made a video on them)
      If you need the feel of the original control sticks, unfortunately the only option is to swap with an official controller. you can find these for cheap on ebay sometimes tho, you dont have to buy new. if your lucky youll find a broken controller 'sold for parts' with a stick in good condition!

    • @zenithSSBM
      @zenithSSBM  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      they could be fine! by the looks of it, it seems they just buy cheap chinese buttons in bulk and sell them under their own 'brand.' In which case the buttons (despite being cheap) work fine! I would just buy from a different retailer if you can find them for cheap since youre essentially buying marked up buttons through a middle-man

    • @zenithSSBM
      @zenithSSBM  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      dpads from cheap ebay button sets ive reviewed work pretty well! (at least compared to original gamecube dpads which are not the best to begin with) and as far as sticks go, the ones from the cheap buttons sets are the cheapest "alright" alternative available right now. however nothing on the market completely replicates the original so if thats what youre looking for, you need to buy a new official controller and swap sticks (or buy a broken cheaper "for parts" controller on ebay and swap)
