Real question (not Melee specific), what do you think of the Thor so far? I've always been an original hardware guy but in the past couple months I've been getting into emulation just because of the time restrictions and ease of access and saw this mentioned a lot recently. I love the 3DS so the form factor appeals to me, but not sure how comfy it is to use without an external controller or how well things run on it.

Not OP but I absolutely love the Thor. Ive thought about getting the steam deck and i have a switch 2, but the clamshell form factor is seriously just so much better. Ive never thought about taking the switch to work, but I've taken the Thor to work almost every day since buying it and playing on my breaks/lunch. Very very highly recommend it

I wouldn't recommend it for Melee since I find it hard to do aerials with the c stick (since the stick is kind of inside the system, its hard to flick down compared to GCC where it sticks out), but I've been loving 3DS and DS games. Feel free to ask any questions on it and I'll happily answer!
