So, I just got the Mayflash GCN Adapter that was on ebay for like $19.90 before the price jacked up to $34. I've waited for 2 weeks and dare I say: it works! Shouldn't be a surprise considering how it should. Hear me out: when Smashboards first posted the link, I was a tad skeptical because it was a third party adapter and I'm not one to trust anything that's not official. However, I noticed they were quickly being sold out and I decided to bite the dust.
Now that it's hear, my worries are gone. It works just as good as the official one from Nintendo. I went to a tournament a week (or was it two weeks?) ago that had the official adapter and I can safely say, there's no input lag from what I'm seeing right now. For what it's worth, at $20 it's the best thing to get. However, since the now price is at $34, I wouldn't try to buy it until the price goes down. It sucks for those who haven't gotten the chance to buy it, but just wait until either they make more or Nintendo finally gets the right idea to produce more of their official ones.
Now, keep in mind I've only tried this out on the Wii U and not on my PC. Right now, I'm merely enjoying the fact that I can now use my GameCube controller for the Wii U on Smash. My Classic Controller Pro is starting to die on me as I notice it's not being as responsive as it once was, which is a shame since I loved that thing when I got it for MH Tri on the Wii.
The cable to connect it to the Wii U is long, about twice the length of my arm and I have average sized arms for a 6 foot guy, so if you're worried it'd be small - then worry no more.
For $20 it's worth buying, and waiting 2 weeks. For $34? ... Not really.
