These controllers are cool. Really like how the joysticks are the same on both sides.

Are the GC controllers actually better for Smash compared like say the Switch Pro controller? Or is this just a nostalgic thing that Nintendo's able to milk? I haven't played enough Smash to know.

I really don't think either is inherently better; it's just that the majority of competitive players have been using GC controllers, and not having to make the transition to a new controller every time a new game comes out is nice.
