I tried every controller but 3ds and game cube
I quickly found out that the only controller that works for me is key board
I SD more then I kill with anything but a keyboard
So how can I get keyboard support for smash u for wii u

Probably would have to hardware mod one yourself, and bind the keys to specific controller-equivalent inputs. The game does not support keyboard inputs.

Of course, keyboard inputs also come with drawbacks, such as a lack of analog input for movement and shielding.

Your best solution is probably simply more practice with a different controller.

Aside from the gamecube controller, the Wii U Pro Controller is probably the next-best shot. It still has the dual analog sticks for inputs, one more functional button than the Gamecube controller (ZL), and is generally pretty ergonomic. If you need a larger controller, you can use the Gamepad, though depending on your intentions, many tournaments or similar multiplayer events don't allow it because only one player can use it at a time.

Lastly, regardless of which controller you pick, it's a great idea to try out different control schemes if the default doesn't seem to work for you. Try to identify what you dislike about certain controls, and move them. For instance, I rarely use the L button on my 3DS, so for that version of the game (and when playing with the Pro Controller or Gamepad), I have the Y button set to grab, as it is more conveniently located.

Ever since I played smash flash I feel like nothing beats the wasd
My main problem with angolag sticks are they often impute if you tilt them
But as I have no choice i will most likely look into the gamepad again and try to get good

If you prefer something digital (avoids that input problem), try the Wiimote alone. The d-pad works similar to WASD (though with one finger instead of four), and only reads full inputs. It comes with some drawbacks, but if that's the biggest thing about the keyboard for you, it may be worth a try. Unfortunately I don't think any of the control systems with a joystick will let you use the Dpad for movement, though.

Then 3ds is a waste of potential
Its dpad is almost perfect

I do wish it had at least the option to re-bind to directions, even if doing so isn't as versatile as the joystick. But oh well.

If you like the 3DS though, then the pro controller and gamepad are probably the best choices for you. Their button layout is basically the same as the 3DS's.
