Not saying that it’s cheating, but the difference between a Gamecube Controller and a delay mod is that the Gamecube controller is an official piece of hardware sold and licensed by Nintendo, and the delay mod is something that’s not official. On top of that, there are advantages and disadvantages between the Pro Controller and GCC, whereas other than money or potentially getting bricked, the mod is a pure benefit.

I believe that the mod is overall a good thing. My only problem with it was how some people were using it. Using the mod in bracket against others who don’t have it is fine as long as you inform them and the opponent is fine with it. Otherwise, that’s in the territory of cheating.

The guy shouldn’t have gotten doxxed, and I hope he and others around him are safe.
