I finally got those Mayflash Gamecube controller adapters.
Overall, they can be pretty tedious to use, but if you put enough patience into them, then you can use them to play with Gamecube controllers on a Wii U as effectively as you can use those on their own on a Wii.

Here's some note I made while experimenting with this:
- The Gamecube controller must be plugged into the adapter on one side, while a Wiimote must be connected to it on the other side.
- Because of this, Brawl & Project M will both register Gamecube controllers that were set up this way as Classic Controllers.
- Gamecube = Shield/Back Shoulders, Grab/Front Shoulders. Classic = Shield/Front Shoulders, Grab/Back Shoulders. You'll have to switch around the Grab & Shield buttons with each other if you're a GCC user.
- Home Button = Hold Start for more than 1 second. It's like holding the Pause button just to pause in Skullgirls in an Offline Vs. Match.
- - Button = Press Start for less than 1 second.
- + Button = Double Tap Start
- Has a Turbo button. Hold it while pressing A,B,X,Y,L,R, or Z, then release both. Do all of that again for Autofire, and do it one more time after that to cancel both the Turbo & Autofire. Or just press the Turbo button twice.
- IMPORTANT: If the Wii Remote is turned off, that shuts down the entire connection. When the Wiimote is turned back on, the adapter will take about 10 seconds or more to recalibrate before the GCC connected to it can be used with it, again. Don't mess with any of the analog controls (Control Stick, L & R) when this happens, or they may get stuck this way.
So, per se, if you were trying to quit a match, you'd have to hold L+R+A, & press Start twice. Since pausing won't happen much, if any at all, in a competitive match, I don't see much of an issue with this. It might annoy you a bit if you like to ragequit before your last stock kill is register, and it's a total nightmare if you're trying to take good snapshots.
So far, this doesn't seem to cause any lag, though I'm gonna have to test this on one of the HDTVs at Donatos tomorrow. Anyone else that wants to try this for yourselves are free to do so. It would help to at least bring a Wiimote of your own in this case.
The only thing that's really left to be done here is to gather 3 more of my own Wiimotes. Otherwise, at the very least, preparing my Wii U for P:M is complete.
I should be able to have 2 setups for Shuffle, then, and I'm gonna be the only one who brings a Wii U setup.
