Smash Wii U What controllers do you plan on using/switching to for the Wii U version?

[BriefCasey795]

While it might be a no-brainer that lots of fans here are going to use their Gamecube controllers for the new Smash with the new adapter, I can't be the only one with some different plans on the subject of controllers.

For instance, with Brawl, I actually got used to using a Wii remote held sideways, and that was the controller I always used, and quite frankly, I played much better with that compared to a GC controller, but hey, everyone has different tastes. However, my only gripe was that if I played intensely, like during a tourney, my thumb that was mashing the dpad would feel all worn (that the right word?) From mashing the d-pad.

For the Wii U version, I'm going to upgrade to a Wii U Pro Controller. It already felt nice to play games ike Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 with it, and since I played Brawl with it on an emulator at a friend's house, and from the Best Buy demo, it felt nice to use. (I wish there was a homebrew app to use the controller with Brawl as a GC controller.) Plus, I won't have to deal with my thumb feeling strange after playing, since the control sticks have a flat surface, which is much more comfortable in my opinion.

 

[Substitution]

I plan on taking my 3DS, going to a tournament, and watch as everyone reacts to it.

 

[Prism]

I personally plan on using the GC controller.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

I think the sideways wii remote is the one that I would literally never use. If I was getting the Wii U version I'd use a GC controller.

 

[Jords2Good]

I've really grown into using the 3ds, I think I'll be using that one unless the pro controller feels better.

 

[ミスティック Speed]

GCC. Forever and always.

 

[Tshockz]

Gamecube controller for sure. May try out my wii u pro controller too though.

 

[Spirst]

Wiimote for me.





No, really, GCC of course.

 

[Raijinken]

Most likely my old Gamecube controller. Though, I'll probably give the 3DS a shot as a controller, especially if I upgrade to the N3DS.

 

[ItGoesSo]

GCC/New 3DS/Pro controller. I can't decide until I try it out all three of them for awhile.

 

[Ffamran]

Arcade stick.

Probably the Wii U Pro or Gamecube controllers in case something goes wrong and I have to replace them, it'd be cheaper than replacing the Wii U gamepad.

 

[TheTuninator]

A new Gamecube controller for sure.

 

[ReddFloxy]

Most likely a Wii U Pro Controller since I have absolutely no troubles controlling the game with my 3DS. Besides I don't want to be confused constantly by switching the two versions.
Sure it'll be different but it'll work just as well as a gamecube controller for me ^^

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

WiiU Pro Controller. Since it basically has the same Layout as a 3ds and I will already be used to that by then.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Been playing the demo for a bit, and finding out how awkward Smash with 3DS controls. Muscle Memory for the win! I was so excited when the GCN controller adapter was announced, and that's going to be it for me. I think I even still have the original contoller that I got with my game cube.

 

[Goesasu]

I used to love the GC controller until I met the wii remote plus nunchuck combination for brawl, so much better just put the c-stick on the d-pad and you are set.

The 3ds is ok i guess actually very similar to the GC when you think about it.

Still not sure though......if only wiiugamepad was an option.....

 

[Hayzie]

I was planning on using Wiimote + Nunchuck combo, but I thought about it recently and I could probably replicate everything on the gamepad once I change the configuration, since those two controller's buttons/thumbsticks feel almost the exact same as each other and not Pro/Cube controller. (Cube controller is my favorite controller of all time, though).

 

[Smallgenie549]

At first I'll be using the Gamepad, and possibly the 3DS. I'm hoping to get the GCN adapter for Christmas so I'll be able to use my old controllers. GCN is my preferred controller, but I'm honestly fine with the Gamepad, 3DS, GCN, and Wiimote + Nunchuck.

 

[ffdgh]

Gamecube controller and occasionally the gamepad.

 

[TheDMonroeShow]

I was originally planning to stick with GC controller but the 3ds version is kind of getting me used to the button setup of the pro controller..so I'm a bit torn between the two.

 

[shapular]

Arcade stick.

Probably the Wii U Pro or Gamecube controllers in case something goes wrong and I have to replace them, it'd be cheaper than replacing the Wii U gamepad.

I actually played a game of Melee using an arcade stick once. >.>

I won. <.<

I'm probably switching to Wii U Pro Controller, but if I can't get used to that I'll go with the new Fight Pad, assuming they're Nintendo quality.

 

[Trickerhere]

Still Gamecube controller but I gotta learn how to use C-stick for aerials. Probably using the Wii U game pad one if my friend doesnt have a GC adapter at his house.

 

[Jucchan]

GC Controller or Wii U Pro controller. Gotta love that C-stick.

 

[Dark Dude]

Wii U Pro controller for me. I actually really like it. I like the gamecube one, too, but I already have a pro controller and that doesn't need an adapter.

 

[Khao]

I have to decide if I'm gonna get the Gamecube controller adapter first. My reasons for getting it are more closely related to wanting more controller ports and options (instant three new controllers for the game in my case!) than actually wanting to specifically play the game using them, but if I do get it, I'm definitely gonna stick to the Gamecube controller.

If not, I'm very fond of the Wii U Pro Controller, it's super comfy, and I've been actually using it on my PC to play Smash on emulators, so I don't even have to get used to it.

 

[SmashBro99]

My unopened white gamecube controller I've been saving for Smash Wii U, and the black one that comes with the bundle...I guess my silver gamecube controller that has served me well through melee and brawl too :D
