Do you get 100% reliable attacks if you use another controller like an xbox 360 controller?

It's 100% if I can config the controller as normal. But since the wiiu gc adapter bypasses the input (as in, you can't edit the buttons, or play around with its deadzones), it's stuck with interpreting the controller as it does. When installing the adapter with toadking's driver, it worked perfectly with the cstick having a deadzone of 10 (but no rumble, bongo support). When it was set to 0, it gave similar issues from memory, so I think it's only a deadzone problem that can't be edited as a user.

Do you have another controller other than a GC pad to test with? One that can be configured in Dolphin like a USB gamepad? Or do you have a mayflash gc to usb adapter? The reason why I am asking is that there was another earlier change made to the Dolphin input system where Dolphin forces games to poll for inputs less often than they can on the real hardware.

Just tested with a 360 gamepad with smash bros. When the right stick deadzone was set to 0, it was practically unusable. But setting it to 10, it behaved as expected.

I have 2 Gamecube Smash Controllers. The strange thing is that one of them works flawlessly while the other one has this problem. I noticed on the one with the problem that if you hold the c-stick slightly down and then move it all the way to any direction it usually does the smash attacks in Brawl (same with Project M). It feels like the C-stick isn't well calibrated but then it works with the other games that I tested including Melee (didn't test Starfox Assault). With the drivers that used vJoy both worked flawlessly (with the default settings). Changing the size of the Deadzone seems like the best solution to this problem.

Have made a fix here:

When I tested it with brawl, in the main menu was odd. The cstick was tilted to the side constantly, and the main analogue stick was flicking between the menus constantly.

I'll test it with more games though.

mmm, I have a made a change which should fix the situation you are seeing here:
