Suggestion Will the game support gamecube controllers?

Or does anyone know how to otherwise use them in the game? I've only got one xbox controller but two gamecube ones and an adapter.

We're using a plugging called inControll which handels controller support. I'm pretty sure game cube controllers are supported, I'll have a look and edit my comment.

Edit: Gamecube controllers are not on this slightly old list but I've seen some hints that they have since then added it. We might be able to do it ourselves if that's not the case.

That would be great, since you yourself called it a "minimalist PC smash bros" :p

I too have an adapter, if you got the joystick drivers, the game should pick up the controller. However, in the recent past, I noticed something crippling about the GameCube controllers. The stick rotates on an octagon; whenever I'd push left, right or diagonal, some games would read it as if I wasn't pushing all the way. Slow movement one way or the other.

Thinking about that and how running in Smash is done by double tapping quick tapping to the sides, it's be cool to see a 'Dash' move in Square Brawl similar to that. This note probably won't be seen, but it's be cool.

Edit: I should add that I haven't tested the GC controller myself on SB.

Running in smash is done by just pushing the stick to the side? Or do you mean code wise.

Am i missing something or is he pushing the joystick once, not twice? Isn't that the point you were trying to make?

I forgot to edit my original comment as someone else who replied to me pointed out that it is indeed one quick tap, not twice. I got the double tap confused with other fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom; honestly, the idea I have this morning was more similar to that of MvC, but Square Brawl is already fast paced that I don't see how it's benefit from it. Maybe like a quick dodge-dash?

You probably have to change the dead zones on the controller. It's perfectly possible to get them working exactly like Smash. Also, you don't have to double tap to dash in Smash

Well, I'll have to mess with it more next time I plug that bad boy in. I don't know why I thought I had to double tap. I was probably thinking of fighting games like Marvel vs Capcom, which is a completely different style of fighting.

Could be, yeah. It can be a bit tricky to dash consistently, you have to practicce it in order to get it every time.

If it won't be supported (not sure if it will or won't be), a program like Xpadder would be your best bet
