Isn't the C stick completely different than the CCP ?
I play like a pro without the c stick on brawl and melee, so this news doesn't bug me at all.
By like a pro you mean good around your friends, or you actually go to tournaments.
It's highly recommended to use the c stick for aereal attacks as it wont change your momentum unlike using the stick.
In any case, casual players wont care about this. And serious players have no reason to invest on the 3ds game anymore. It's just puzzling how they decided to give support to the c stick and not the ccp, maybe the input delay was too much?
