why exactly are wavebirds any better than a regular gc controller besides the fact that they're wireless?

that makes them better than a regular controller. what else could there be?
on the downside, there's a tiny bit of lag that usually equates to poor player performance in fighting games (ok for other games) and there's no rumble feature

i have never noticed any lag, trust me i play street fighter alot.

wireless rules, the only downfall off the wave bird is no rumble.

and I played Soul Calibur and SSB:M a lot and trust me, against a human opponent who you will notice a difference.

Rerun will back me up on this.

You dont notice lag, you just notice your character not performing as well as usual. It doesn't make a difference in racing, adventure, shooting games, etc, just the fast paced fighting of SSB and the combos in Soul Cal

well than damn...i would rather have rumble and no lag on a cord than a controller with a bird name and no other difference besides no wire...i have kind of a small tv in my room so i have to be close anyways...i thought the "wavebird" would be something cool...especially 50 dollars a controller...i can get a GC controller used for 10 or 15 the most

Yeah exactly, I'm a huge DD and SSBM fan and it's next to impossible to get a double dash using the wavebird and giga bowser sucks with it, you effectivley aise the difficulty of the game your playing AND they cost more, their heavier, bigger and more uncomfortable...

i guess we're gunna have to disagree then. i also love SSBM and MK:DD and was undefeated amongst my friends and i am the only one who uses a wavebird. i am goin to go with the notion that "a bad trademens blames his tools" applies to you. further more i rate SF as being a much quicker game than either of the previously mentioned games.

i.e. Your Rong (with a capital R) WB FTW

They are only very slightly heavier than a GC controller because they took out the rumble and added in the battery section.(lighter if you count the cord), the biggness of them makes didly squat differance when they are almost identical weight, and you cant really say they are moe uncomfortable when it is an identical controller with the middle filled in like a 360 controller or something. I personally havent noticed any lag, but wavedashing and stuff in SSBM would probably be harder. I personally have never tried wavedashing since Nintendo themselves admitted it was a by-product of a glitch in the game. If anyone needs to take advantage of a glitch in a game, they automatically suck at it, very simple.

i'm sure that's coz you only use a wavebird. Back when SSBM came out i hd a number of controllers and prefered wavebird until i found out (for a fact) that I performed better with a wired controller.

perhaps it's a psychological thing, but I'm willing to bet that it's due to the lag. And the rocket start in mario kart that rerun argued kind of proves my point.
