Smash Wii U What is your weapon (controller) of choice?

[SS-bros14]

Smash U has a total of about five controller controller choices, so which one(s) do you like best? For me, it's the 3DS, Wiimote, and (kinda) Gamecube Controller.

 

[Themandme]

3ds for me

 

[Mechageo]

Can you add a few controllers to the poll?
Classic Controller Pro is an option as well as (If we're going to include officially licensed controllers) the Hori Battle Pad for Wii U, and the Wired Fight Pad by PDP.

I would, but um, how do you edit the poll?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Initially I'll just stick to the Classic Controller, but I might switch back to the Gamecube Controller eventually.

 

[Mechageo]

I'm not sure, actually.

 

[SS-bros14]

I'm not sure, actually.

I don't think I can, tried and the edit and thread tools feature...

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

WiiU Pro Controller for me. Because its comfortable and amazing as hell and it closely resembles the 3ds which I'm very used to.

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

The Gamecube controller. It's the best for smash, to me that is.

 

[SuperFroakie64DS]

Going to use the 3DS until I get the adapter.

 

[Raijinken]

Gamecube controller. Though if I end up not getting a U for some reason, may just use my 3DS to avoid muscle memory issues.

 

[Niala]

I've been playing this series with a Gamecube controller for about 13 years now, and I don't see any reason to change that.

 

[Whiteface]

Pro Controller (because they're wireless and I already have them) with N64 config or Hori battle pad.

 

[Meelow]

GameCube Controller.

 

[alex6309]

Gamepad
Gotta be able to get smashing done in the bathroom.

 

[ChrisP4]

GameCube hands down! If somehow I need to use another controller, it'll be the 3ds controller or gamepad.

 

[Zenpie]

I'm going to attempt to use the Gamepad but most likely the WiiU Pro.

 

[Jae]

GameCube since I am most comfortable and adjusted to it.
The Classic Controller would probably be second, since it feels really guud to use.

I would use my 3DS but I think I want to refrain from anymore strain on it.

 

[AIM0001]

I'll use the GC Smash controllerto break it in then I'll eventually go back to using my GC Wavebird! One of the best controllers I have ever owned! I might mess with the gamepad a lil but mostly GC!

 

[Reila]

I will be using a Pro Controller, since it feels similar to the 360 controller, which I use to play games on my computer.

 

[Tino]

Right now, I have a choice between the Wii U Pro controller or the GameCube controller. One of those two will be best suited for me to Smash.

 

[Felix the Slayer]

GC, I have 5 or so of them, I just have to get the adapter.

 

[Hayzie]

Wiimote+Nunchuk or Gamepad. I will probably main gamepad.

 

[Deleted member]

Easily the GameCube controller. I need it.

You forgot the classic controller as an option. I say that I am thinking to have that as my weapon of choice. I will try the WiiU pro controller, but I think the Wii Classic controller will win as I really like that a lot.

 

[Fathom778]

I use the Gamecube sometimes, but my main choice is THIS BEAST!

 

[LunarWingCloud]

I voted for Pro Controller, mostly because there was no Classic Controller option and that's what I used throughout Brawl once I got my own Wii in 2009. And I plan to use either that or Pro Controller for Smash 4.

 

[StarBot]

All of them

 

[ValorYoshiX]

Wii U Pro is the best controller I think Ninty has ever put out.

 

[Ascended]

I'll be using the Gamepad.

 

[ADAPT Chance]

Gamecube controller mostly.

 

[Armail5050]

Gamecube controller

 

[sandslash]

I love the wii classic but gamecube is wonderful too. Will try the yoshi fight pad and gamepad just to see how they feel.

 

[Trisongs]

question to whoever partook in the wii U event. If you had the chance to customize controls. Is the 3DS d pad still devoted to taunts?

 

[Syrek]

Seeing as how I haven't touched a Gamecube controller in years and how acclimated I am with the 3DS controls, I'll more than likely stick with something I'm comfortable with like the Wii U Gamepad or Pro controller. Although I will be buying the Gamecube Adapter and a couple Gamecube controllers for my friends and family who prefer that control scheme.

[ミスティック Speed]

Gamecube Controller is love.
Gamecube Controller is life.

Can you use that without having tether it to the wiimote?

 

[Fathom778]

Can you use that without having tether it to the wiimote?

Sadly, no.I say just put the wiimote someplace and put a rock on it, works for me.

A great controller with a cable and wireless lag. That's like the worst of both worlds. And we have to find a place to put the Wiimote so it's always pointing at the screen at the right height. A shame really because the controller is just so good.

I do wish the USB to Wii classic controller adapters work on the WIiU. It works with my iMac so I can use the Dolphin emulator with the classic controller there. I could try it with the WiiU but I don't think it'll work sadly. That would be an adapter and a cable (on the classic controller). Not the best of situations but it'd remove the wireless portion.
I know I'm dreaming here but I can dream right?
