Superslab
Overview
The Superslab is Prong’s full-size platform-fighter slab, built around a wider 20-button layout and direct GameCube-oriented support.
Compared with the smaller Jabslab, it is closer to a tournament-first Smash rectangle: broader on the lap, heavier in hand, and shipped with both USB and GameCube cabling.
