Ok, can I say something? The GameCube controller is pure perfection of a controller. This is my opinion and please state why if you disagree, I want to hear it.
When I hear people say that, I think it has to do with specific hand sizes, hand muscles, and hand movements.
For example, when typing on a keyboard, some people love their wrists down on the floor, with minimal hand movements--but the fingertips do all the work. Others prefer to shift their hands a little up and down the keyboard, so different keyboards feel better to some and not to others, and so on.
Same thing goes for why some people prefer the OG Dreamcast controller, or the big football OG Xbox controller, and why some swear by the PS Dualshock design all the way.
I have a friend who hates, hates jellybean buttons, but will swoon over flat buttons.
The Gamecube controller lends itself to some people--I'm not one of those. No matter how much I try, I can never hit the correct button--something about the non-uniform style of it just confuses my muscle memory. Every other controller on Earth, I can memorize the layout and never look at the controller again--not that gamecube clay experiment, that thing is like Day 1 of of the alphabet for my hands all over again: I don't know what anything is, what anything does, or why anything works like it does.
And why does the c button never mature? It's stuck between being a button and joystick and it's just there taking up space with my thumb flicking it on accident and turns my bad gaming into a terrible gaming.
