Smash Wii U Gamepad as a screen

[rpgcaster]

I apologize profusely if this isn't the place to be asking this. Additionally, I admit that I feel dumb asking this but google isn't providing me an answer.

Is it possible to use the Wii U Gamepad as a screen to play the game? I know this is possible is using the gamepad as the controller, but I guess the real question is, is it possible to play smash without a screen or monitor using the gamepad, but not as the controller?

Yes, it's possible. The gamepad screen will mirror whatever is happening on the monitor/TV and if you have a different controller setup, it'll work just fine since the gamepad will still stream the game.

All I'm getting is the character portraits and percentages (ala 3DS bottom screen). How do I change this?

Tap the screen once.

I've been using it on the couch since I've been sick this week. It's good...not as good as GCN or Nunchuck, but it works fine. It's kind of hard playing with the screen right there (hard to describe, compared to the 3DS or other off-screen games), but yeah, it's decent enough to play with when I don't have a TV.

I just prop it up and use the Gamecube controller

If you're playing singleplayer (anything with only one human), I think it defaults to mirroring the screen. More than one human and it'll default to the percent things. But yea, just tap the screen to swap it.
