Any game controller can start drifting. The only one it's ever happened with for me is an Xbox One controller, my launch day joy cons are still working fine (though they've mostly been replaced by the Splitpad Pro).

To me the whole problem with the drifting in these new controller is the near NON EXISTENT deadzone!! As all controller will eventually drift, fixing the deadzone size should have been the number one fix by Nintendo. Actually I remember when I "had" a Switch in 2018 that the deadzone was too small (non existent) and I thought to myself, "man if these things start malfunctioning, they will be imposible to fix!"

indeed, i have two xbox 360 controllers, both have drift problems on the LS, but one is not that bad and increasing the dead zone through software has greatly increased it's lifespan (the other one is beyond that unless i make 50% of the zone the dead zone)

not exactly ideal but iirc the one application that let's you change the colors that a joycon reports as also lets you change the dead zone value

I'm not totally on board with it being online but it would be interesting to see our own sorta 'boss run' being created.
I just think they could have such a thing as an optional online mode. But the main attraction would be playing it offline at home where there wouldn't be any time limits and all that.

Well the reason I think my example isn't the same as those really, is that what I'm suggesting is really just normal Smash but with one player getting to be a boss instead, make the boss random, and setting up the game would be no different than a standard Smash online match, one player is randomly the boss, and the fighter they chose is disregarded and they instead fight as that one boss. Seems like it'd be considerably easier to program and jump into online than those other modes you mention.

it feels like more of a gimmik match then the likes of squad strike or smash down...that's why I give it little hope
