Always enjoy videos like this, I appreciate you bringing attention to all the great modders in the community and sheding light on the hobby that brings so many of us joy!
This is legitimately so beautiful I was super invested in seeing this and it turned out amazingly! You did a fantastic job covering CGCC’s. It was so nice seeing some members I know and even some names, images, and work I haven’t seen in such a long time. Really made me shed a little tear. Definitely will be rewatching this video every once and a while. ❤️
This is a really kind message. My goal has always been to talk about what I love, in the hopes that viewers think about what they love. Im glad this video can help you do that for a community you love.
Got the ping from the CGCC discord for this video and remembered your ad on Atrioc's channel and when ludwig watched your video on The Cheat. Your content is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Look mom I'm in the video at 11:53 !!!! Anyways, great video detailing GameCube controllers. This community is really awesome and they've always helped me with controller problems.
Boy do I have good news for you: Dan Deacon’s When I Was Done Dying - m.th-cam.com/video/A1asdaWs3z0/w-d-xo.html Animal Collective’s My Girls Music Video - th-cam.com/video/LTzDvZbbvJA/w-d-xo.html Vulfpeck - th-cam.com/video/gee3tI2CVps/w-d-xo.html
It’s easier than ever! I’d recommend checking out some of the Twitter accounts of controllers you liked in the video! There’s always someone doing drops and taking commission
As someone who works at a venue who hosts events for Smash, I find it interesting how there are still people playing the GameCube game with the old controllers. And what I've learned is that there are glitches you can do which is why people prefer it a lot of the time. Isn't glitching like that considered cheating, especially in tournaments? And modifying controllers is considered cheating in other games too. It's an old game but that's why there's newer ones. Many people compete on the Switch, I see. Maybe it's nostalgia but it seems very interesting to me how many people still obsess over this 20 year old game.
Love your Melee vids, you do such a great job at showcasing awesome things about our community. Also super cool to see your first tournament (or maybe just first set on stream) was a Rubicon, that was a legendary regional series 🙏
Got my first GC controller this year and after using it daily for a 8 months it blows my mind how much difference you can feel between other GC style controllers
no way! i used to go to the UofC tournaments back when I was in middle school, so about 7 years ago! Ida Noyes hall is such a nice place for a tournament.
Starting opening GC controllers since 2016, and was able to meet and collaborate with a Specific modder to get the controllers of my dreams. Shout out to Sage, and SageCustoms. Best prices, optimal feel!
Resin casting, painting, goom wave mother board. Next are the stick boxes eventually everything will be custom made when Nintendo gives GC controllers the boot.
Great vid, I've only heard small bits of info here and there about this so it was neat to learn about this crazy subsection of the community. Clean presentation too
This video made me know zhu as something other than the guy who got wrecked by the Wombo combo. Now I know him as the guy from that one video about custom controllers
I used to make customs but wasn’t worth the effort people would hit me up saying oh shit looks cool but the minute they realize it costs money they disappear
Panda controller solves the problem of a lack of 3rd party options, but considering they are only doing a limited run at first, it theoretically could run into some of the issues Nintendo controllers have of replacement parts becoming harder to find (I.e stick boxes). With that being said, they seem to understand this and plan on having some sort of system for modders to leverage for replacement parts that will make this less of an issue. As long as the controller plays well, I think it’ll be a really really great thing for players and modders alike, and lead to even more customization options.
Awesome video I wish we had a community photographer just for controllers to take photos of the pros controllers and list all the mods done to them. I have always been interested in this. BUT personally I think boxes and phobs should be banned until we get a proper rule in place. My personal rule right now would be allow the classic mods like notches, trigger plugs, springs, snap back modules, etc... Then as we figure out how to regulate phobs we can add them in but I feel like boxes should have to have an analog stick whether thats from a nunchuck or a fight stick it doesn't matter. But the main thing we need to get rid of is the modifier button on boxes. It causes the no macro rule to go out the window. As it currently stands I could build my own box add 2 buttons for perfect ledge dashes and wave shines or pivot tippers and since the macro rule is not being followed it would be fine. Also button remapping is questionable at best. Z jumping gives a clear advantage making the game SORT OF pay to win. UCF was allowed to avoid a pay to win scenario but here we are... I would say Hax's 1.03 is a good change if it was just z jumping but he added way too many changes and many of them benefit the box. Which he of course has a financial interest in. There is some sweet irony in him changing the game after his whole evidence.zip fever dream in which he said "leffen is changing the game and community we grew to love" then he goes on to release the boxx and 1.03... Also unfreeze stadium you cowards. I am not a melee purist but we have strayed WAY too far from the games original release. But oh well it wont stop me from playing and it really doesn't matter to me as I am not a top level player this is just a pointless rant I guess.
IMO Aliexpress buttons are a good cheap replacement, at least the new ones, even the stick now its good, the only thing its that it doesn't last too long, but having a couple of spares around it doesnt hurt
Loved this video, it explained a lot more than I was expecting in terms of smash's competitive scene with controllers. What do you think of the NYXI Wizard Wireless Joy-pad for Switch/Switch OLED controller?
I wanna build a gamecube controller. So I'm gonna grab an ExtremeRate shell (with all the innards) and an 8BitDo NGC modkit and commit lego build sound.
Melee gets a pass because it's such an old game made at the infancy of modern gaming (To me thats PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and onward. Everything before is retro), but today if your game needs a hyper-modded controller to be played right that's a game-design issue and not a hardware issue. I could never get into melee because I like polish and in that regard the game is a wonky nightmare. 99% of advanced tech is just breaking the game in some way. I'd love for nintendo to make a technically demanding Smash game but they never would, there's no financial incentive. Today it will always be a compromise between 70% casual party game/ 30% competitively minded.
Individual modders have their own galleries on personal sites. Control in Color has a really great one controlincolor.com/gallery.php As does Design Out of Shield theinternationale.com/designoutofshield/controllers/

BRO THAT MF DOOM CONTROLLER MADE MY JAW DROP, THAT IS THE SICKEST THING I THINK IVE EVER SEEN.
dawg i don't even play smash and i watched this entire well made video
Not too late to start 🥶
This was a really great watch Seth.
Glad you enjoyed Walt ^_^

It was my pleasure, glad you enjoyed it
the CGCC Discord has been incredibly helpful. Wonderful community :)
This video is sooo amazing. Thank you for doing research into the community and sharing this with everyone!
Thank you for all you do as an artist! Love my sticks and have been buying more buttons just to match with them

Im so happy my Jiggs is the thumbnail, thank you!!
I tried a few controllers in the frame, and it just felt right :)
everything is perfect in this CGCC scene, only thing I could wish for are more people selling sticks xD
I would personally also add #melee in the description so the TH-cam algorithm picks it up to the wider melee community
Added :)
@@SethLovestoTalk it workd cuz im here lol
glad i was able to find your channel, its not often that a small channel comes along with this level of production value
Excellent watch!!
This video is so well done! Definitely deserving of more views man
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video
that MF DOOM controller goes hard, may the GOAT rest in peace
Seeing you talk about MF DOOM a little bit, I’d love for you to feature some music based videos. Been enjoying the content and keep it up!
Boy do I have good news for you:

Underrated! I want this to go viral. Great job.
Now we have the panda controller!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Love you for covering this amazing scene and the history
Thanks for putting a spotlight on our little niche community.
It’s well deserved ^_^
subscribed mostly because of the atrioc stream with your ad, definately looks like that was the right choice
This video was so good dude keep it up!
this makes me want to get a piece of art controller now

Didn't even notice the Allston Melee shirt when I first watched this. Their content is so sick
This was fantastic, great work cuh
dude you deserve more subs . you're content is so good

WAIT I GOT THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED AND PASSED IT UP UNTIL I LOOKED YOU UP AFTER THE ATRIOC VIDEO LOL

Stellar documentary!
Thank you for your eloquent words at the end! Summed up the community perfectly
i like when you introduced zhu and then him getting comboed :P
Ive watched this vid like 3 times through now, amazing stuff!

this is fascinating and I'm only here because I started to repair my gamecube controller... wow
Great vid, I've only heard small bits of info here and there about this so it was neat to learn about this crazy subsection of the community. Clean presentation too
Great vid this make me want more mods for my controller now
Bruh melee + doom? Already love this guy.
necessity is truly the mother of invention
for the algorithm!
fantastic video man
Appreciate it, glad you liked it!
awesome video, loved it
Love the video. I'm in the process of Modding a JPY and cannot wait. Where did you get your Bob ross cardboard cut out.
good stuff, good stuff.
Rest easy Metal Face
Ayy huge shoutout koalakat
dude I am in love with your MF-Doom controller. thats just special !
I. LOVE. Controller shit. Suuuuper sick video.
This video made me know zhu as something other than the guy who got wrecked by the Wombo combo. Now I know him as the guy from that one video about custom controllers
I used to make customs but wasn’t worth the effort people would hit me up saying oh shit looks cool but the minute they realize it costs money they disappear
i think the custom motherboard is the coolest, at that point we could just have people making gamecube controllers long after gamecubes lifespan
Beautiful video
This video is art
great vid!
Why does this man have so little subcribers? This video is up to par with video's that 100k or even 500k youtubers pump out.
What are your thoughts on the Panda Controller? The pricing makes it so accessible that I think it might just be a game changer for the scene

Randomly came across this video and you start with a MF DOOM controller and say ypu love doom and smash bros. Two of my all time favorite things 🙌🏼😂
im only here because of the doom controller but the vid got me curious about your channel.
great stuff
I’ll have a video about the Big A tournament out soon as well! Will be sure to give you and the rest of the TOs a shoutout
@@SethLovestoTalk looking forward to it!
Great video but I really wish you had gone into some detail on internal/functional mods as well like remaps, snapback capacitors, trigger mods, etc.
If my boy goomy isnt in here I'm gonna be mad >:(
Good news my friend
No love for KingKirb64? :(
I remember seeing that exact MF DOOM controller on Twitter a while back and wanted to buy it so bad but couldn’t afford at the time
Ngl did not expect an MF DOOM themed controller but that is dope.
Great video! Super sick.
Also, 1:30 song?
Glad you liked it :)

I am not a melee purist but we have strayed WAY too far from the games original release. But oh well it wont stop me from playing and it really doesn't matter to me as I am not a top level player this is just a pointless rant I guess.
Commenting for the algorithm, amazing video
Wow, Leonard from Big Bang Theory is still playing GameCube!
You have a good voice Seth don't let what quack says get to you
Great video and such a nice MF DOOM controller! Love that A button.
IMO Aliexpress buttons are a good cheap replacement, at least the new ones, even the stick now its good, the only thing its that it doesn't last too long, but having a couple of spares around it doesnt hurt
This video was great
great video! however theres one issue, the eq on the microphone has a bit too much high end and hurts my ears in my headphones.
Great vid subbed
This is why I prefer GC controller better than Boxx controller.
I really love design, button and stick of gamecube controller.
great vid brah
Great video Gamecube and Smash Bros are amazing
great video!

Fiiiire video
That white controller can be easily cleaned by putting 70% isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip and rubbing out the grime.
Is there a gallery website to showcase the community modding work over the years?
Individual modders have their own galleries on personal sites.
Control in Color has a really great one controlincolor.com/gallery.php
As does Design Out of Shield theinternationale.com/designoutofshield/controllers/
where are the stick boxes coming from? there are several options on the web but I have been searching for new ones.
Ahhh MF Doom. A man who knows lyricism and NY Long island hip hop
Amazing vid
that's litteraly asumsaus but diet, and i love it x)
I just play whatever I’m comfortable on. Been looking at esty but don’t know which one to get
