The Dual Shock 2 didn't have analog triggers, which might be one reason why they mapped those controls to the analog stick. The GC and Xbox both had analog triggers.

After looking this up, I realized that PS2 was trying to use the right analog stick for acceleration and braking... glad that didn't catch on...

That's how I usually configure my controls in racing games. Your thumb gets really sore holding down a face button for hours on end, and the same is true of your finger on a trigger.

 

Meanwhile, wireless will never satisfy the neckbeards using GCN controllers for Smash, the dpad and c-stick were pretty poor, and while the analogue shoulder triggers on the GCN were the best shoulder triggers I've ever used... Switch games won't support them.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to release pro joycons, with real sticks, dpads, and better shoulder buttons, never mind radios which can't be blocked by your leg.

And that's something important. None of these controllers, the Power A one the OP mentioned or the Hori or PDP ones have analog triggers, it's all just digital triggers.

 

And smash does take advantage of the analog triggers to bring out your shield earlier in the press.
