This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
Do you think i should add a 3rd party controllers article to SmashWiki? I'm really just thinking whether a third party controller article is notable enough. Please leave your thoughts below. Thanks!

Oppose
- Oppose As I stated in the comments of this, only the Smash Box and Hori Pad Mini are truly notable 3rd party controllers (I may be forgetting some, however). Speaking as a competitive smasher myself, 3rd party controllers are generally considered vastly inferior compared to 1st party due to being typically made of cheaper plastic as well as the buttons either tending to be not responsive enough or too responsive. As such, most 3rd party controllers are generally avoided and therefore have very little significance in the competitive scene. Disaster Flare

- Oppose I'd say no as per above. My hesitation before was how notable third party controllers are in terms of Smash, but it seems like it's not that notable/used. Cookies

Conclusion
Comments
Aside for use in competitive play, what significance does 3rd party controllers have in Smash? The only one I can think of that has any use is Smash Box, which has a page on here. Cookies

- Personally I think if any 3rd party controller needs to be mentioned somewhere, it's the Hori Pad Mini. It's considered the tournament standard controller for Smash 64 tournaments, so I'm surprised I haven't seen it pop up anywhere on the wiki. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:47, April 9, 2020 (EDT)
