Talk:Arcade controller
This may seem unrelated but maybe there should be a B0XX page? Or better yet, since there seems to be plenty of Smash-related fightsticks coming out, perhaps a page dedicated to discussing all of them instead of this one page. --Hardboned (talk) 09:26, February 23, 2021 (EST)

Im unsure what to name it too but I believe the Smash Box is too niche. That said, since guys like Leffen and Hax are using things like Frame1, and B0XX, I think they're significant enough to the scene to just warrant one whole page. --Hardboned (talk) 22:01, March 9, 2021 (EST)

Support. No real reason to not go this route. The only question is what do we call such controllers? Señor Mexicano (talk) 10:23, March 10, 2021 (EST)
- Perhaps something like "Box-type controllers" would work? That's the description used on Frame1's about section. Señor Mexicano (talk) 10:26, March 10, 2021 (EST)
I think Box-type controllers works --Hardboned (talk) 14:34, March 10, 2021 (EST)
Support. This would also give a chance to explain the benefits and drawbacks to using these types of controllers in more detail, as well as their origins, which I'd happily provide. There's a large amount of tech that's only really doable on these controllers, such as charge partitioning and a really weird alternative to Falcon's turnaround. I do, however, strongly disagree with the proposal for "Box-type controllers", that term isn't really in active use and nor is it particularly accurate. From a broad gaming perspective, "Arcade controller" is long and far the standard and would be the easiest for users to find. This is used by companies, media outlets, and more. "Fightstick" is a fine name as-is though, as it's more in-tune with FGC terminology. --
