When I brought up Smash, I wasn't really referring to tournaments.  Even outside of tournaments, GC controllers are still a big deal for those who are into Smash, and any detectable lag will be a deal breaker for most.

I was more referring to Tech's comments  ;)

But you're right, if there is lag, this thing is a dud.  However, since this is geared towards Smash players, I can't imagine 8bitdo would put out a product with noticeable lag for common players.  It also connects to PCs, so I would think they would fine tune it before putting it to market.  8bitdo has put out dozens of blutooth/wireless controllers, and they have been great.  So fingers crossed this is as well.

Lag shouldn’t be an issue either, assuming that the device is well engineered.


There is the mistake. Assuming that it is a quality product and not something designed to gain as much profit as possible.

The Smash craze always happens and it always brings the vipers out of their nests. Selling their snakeoil products that promise the world.

Don't get me wrong there may be some perfectly good products out there at a reasonable price, but don't expect tournament quality products below $70.


8bitdo’s products are pretty rock solid.

This is simply a Bluetooth adapter.  There’s no reason for it to cost $70 or more. There’s very little to it.
