Lucas. players!

Im not sure if you have already but im suggesting you try the wii mote + nunchuck combo.

I do much better with it with lucas. And it seems to short hop for me more often. Aerials are MUCH MUCH easier. and combos aswell.

The thing I like most about the Wiimote+Nunchuck control is that it feels like I have superior handling over the movement of Lucas. I played around with it for a while though. I changed grab to Z, jump to B, and special to C. Everything else is on its default button. I think I'm too attached to the GC controller to switch over though. I'll probably play around with it for a while for really casual games, but yeah, right now I don't notice such a big difference that makes me want to switch.

Do not switch to a wiimote+nunchuck controller.

Why?

Because we aren't developing advanced techniques for it. We aren't experimenting with it. Right now, in this pivotal point in the development of metagame, we do not have the time to be messing around with other controllers.

Maybe you do, but then you won't get the skill boost of being able to use advanced techniques.

I personaly use the Wiichuck combo. I get better use at it. The Gamecube controller is good but the Wiichuck is just way cooler. Thats my opinion only though

 

[Veng]

so should I use the GC controller then?

 

[Doctor T]

I don't think I'll ever use the Wiimote unless I have to (though I would like to at least know how to use it for those instances). I'm not saying the GC controller is better... there might very well be some interesting applications of the Wiimote+Nunchuck configuration. But I've spent way too many hours playing Melee (and N64 too was almost the same) to switch now.

It would take so much of my time just to learn to use that controller effectively, much less the time it would take to completely relearn all my finger movements. I've played Smash for so long that half of what I do is on instinct. And relearning all those instinctive button presses would take far too long for the change to be worth it imo.

Now... I am trying some new things, and I'm willing to experiment with my button layouts. For instance, I've already changed my C-Stick to the "B-Stick" configuration, and I also have R mapped to Jump (I never used those buttons in the first place ). I'll probably end up switching some other buttons around before I'm done. But I'm not going to take the time to learn a whole new controller, at least not for a very long time.

Good luck though, I could imagine some pretty cool results coming from that switch, if you're willing to take the time.

I've been playing Melee since it came out all the way back in 2001. I've become well adapted to the GCN controller. But when Brawl came out, I quickly adapted to the Wiimote and Nunchuck configuration. I think it feels I have more control with my character. Althought b-sitcking is nearly impossible, I feel pretty confident in the way I play with Lucas.

May I ask if you can go into detail how the wiimote-nunchuck helps you do aerials faster and short hop easier?

 

[napZzz]

A gc controller is soooo much easier.

 

[Lord of the Flies]

Opinions...

People have them...and you probably won't change them... What's the use arguing. Good for you if the Wiichuck combo works for you, congrats for going outside the norm and trying something new... Not only are you brave, you could be revolutionry.

I'm sick of all the people putting others down, saying they're not going to be as good without the GC, they're going to fall behind because they don't use the norm. Go to a couple tourney's Nunchuck man, show up some GC losers... I'd cheer you on...

I use GC controller, but at least I don't act like I'm a no-life gamer elitist.

Onto Lucas, I can shorthop fairly well with the GC controller, so no real need to switch over there... I've heard of a few advanced techs for Lucas using the C-stick and such, so I don't think I'd want to worry about switching controller types... But I'll give it a try anyhow, just to see what you're talking about.

GL with the Wiichuck.

I use the wii controller.

Why?

Cause I set it to a similar gamecube controller, and anything that I found faults with in the gc controller, I corrected in the wii controller.

It has less buttons, sure. But it's got great short-jump control. For example, I use the down button on the right control stick for jump. Since the D-pad isn't that sensitive, it's perfect for lucas aerials.

That's what I think. You have to try both of them and see which one you like. Remember- you can always configurate whatever you don't like.
