Smash Wii U Does the Wii U Pro Controller Have Input Lag?

In all honesty, I feel like it does, but when I hook up a GC controller and enter an input on both simultaneously, the game seems to read the input at the same time for both controllers (if that makes any sense). Of course, that's assuming that GC doesn't have lag either, which I'd assume it doesn't on account of it being wired.

I've never been able to notice any differences in lag between the pro controller and the gamecube controller and I've played a ton of hours with both.

Someone actually tested every official controller on YouTube. He used a video camera rather than a capture card. He found that every controller had the same average amount of lag. Yes, he tested all of them - Gamepad, GameCube, Wiimote, Wiichuk, Classic, Other Classic, Pro, and 3DS.

Also remember that the GC controller is wired so its straight to the console

Only time I've had issues with the Pro controller was when it got low on power (I forgot to charge it before I went to the Tourney. Bad on me. :dizzy:) When the Red lights on, you may experience a little Input lag as the controller tries to keep up the power required. I know I had a hard time with my last fight for the night as it felt like I was play online (a good, mostly smooth online match. Not a lag fest one).
