3DS Circle Pads Breaking From SSB4

[Artisan]

Today the rubbery part from my Circle Pad came out :/ The good news is, it fits back in perfectly for now ^.^ However, whenever I'm in an intense match online, I do feel is slipping off a little, (not completely tho).

I guess it'll happen to anyone who plays Smash Bros. for 3DS a lot sooner or later like me. Of course, assuming the person uses dash attacks and side dodges a lot (which is sort of required to be good at the game in multiplayer mode I figure).

Only as faster characters (but that lag tho). The only reason my Circle Pad cover came off was because I had my 3DS for a long time and I tormented it with KIU (especially) and MK7. It might be better for you to have it off.

This is horrible man, I don't hope mine will fell off, but I am not really afraid of it because I play pretty gently. If this 3ds was my PS3 controller it was broken a long time ago by the way

Just an update. When the rubber is removed, you can see a crack on the Circle Pad similar to this image that @Magitroopa included in his first post (the piece just did not come out yet, thankfully) :

Spoiler: Not my 3DS, btw

I can still play 3DS games (including Smash) fine, however, the rubber has to stay on the Circle Pad otherwise it's unplayable.

That's horrible Marc, but did it just break when you was just playing or did you something with you 3ds? Like playing really rough or just smash you 3ds? ( that pun though )

When playing Smash for 3DS. At first I thought only the rubber came off, but eventually I discovered the crack (when I tried to play the game without the rubber, I felt it and it was unplayable when I moved the Circle Pad, trust me).

Don't get me started...

Mine came off recently, but honestly I'm pretty sure it was already starting to come off even before smash came out, it just finished the job. I can slide it back on pretty easily for now though, so I'm not too worried about it as long as it can last until the new model comes out.

I was afraid of taking the risk that it might happen (was having second thoughts about buying the game), but I'd like to think I'm very careful with the Circle pad, so all should be fine.
