I kind of think it's best to pick a game that has local players that you want to spend more time with (assuming it suits your taste enough to have a good time)

I think if probabilities were expressed as fractions instead of percentages people might do better. 95 gets rounded to 100 in many contexts but 1 in 20 doesn't

What makes the gamecube pad different from any other pad (aside from the annoying port and just generally being kind of uncomfortable)?

I'm not sure what counts as "required", but twelve in 3s definitely benefits a lot if you can do the cr.lk, c.lk super confirm (which iirc is a 1f link). There are a few other characters with good links too, but maybe less important
