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

[TheGoldMan]

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

GameCube controller master-race.

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?

Wait, so the Wii Classic Controller and Wii Pro Controllers need to connect to the Wii U...
How?

No no, you misunderstand me.
I own an adapter that I can plug my classic controller into for use with the dolphin emulator on my iMac. So it goes like this:
Classic controller plugged into one end of the adapter. And the other end of the adapter is a USB cable plugged into the USB port of my iMac. Thus totally eliminating the need of the Wiimote there. My question I asked myself is, would the same set up work for the Wii. As to replace the Wiimote with a USB adapter. I don't think so. But I can always try.

My head hurts...

Well, in reality, I almost never have the Wiimote pointing at the screen.
I'm pretty sure the Wii Classic Controller just needs to be plugged in to the Wiimote.

Wiimote & Nunchuck, as before, as to sprawl out on the couch while playing lazier as before

 

[cmbsfm]

yeah

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Come on, step it up!

 

[praline]

Pro Controller. It's like a better GC controller.

 

[SANCHOCO]

Gamepad for me. I always like playing with new controls.

 

[Super Writer]

I'm probably going to use the 3DS. I've never gotten too attached to any controller, even using the dreaded Wiimote/Nunchuck back in Brawl, and I figure I've gotten used to the 3DS by now.

That said, my brother will probably be using the Gamecube controller, he always uses those.

 

[MAGMIS]

wouldn't using these wireless controllers have input lag unlike gamecube controller.

Otherwise I would have immediately go for classic controller

 

[LunarWingCloud]

Come on, step it up!

inb4 some crazy person manages to place in a tourney with that.

 

[Iblistech]

Gamecube Controller Master Race

 

[many37]

Pro controller. I got big fingers so the bigger buttons on the Pro Controller help better than the ones one the GameCube controller imo.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The Wii U Pro Controller will likely be my main controller for Smash Wii U. I have no need for a GameCube Controller, considering that I primarily used the Classic Controller for Brawl.

 

[MAGMIS]

The Wii U Pro Controller will likely be my main controller for Smash Wii U. I have no need for a GameCube Controller, considering that I primarily used the Classic Controller for Brawl.

so what about the input lag with wireless controllers, im trying to decide what to buy. I really want the wii u pro controller battery lifespan. have you noticed any input lag using those controllers?

 

[Rioni]

I'm used to the Wiimote + Nunchuck controls scheme back in Brawl, so I'll most likely gonna use it for Smash WiiU as well. I might also try to use the Gamepad to see how it feels.

 

[Tornado_Man]

Gamecube controller obviously.

 

[maxistrife]

I will give the Wii U Pro controller a chance b/c I really love it in other games, but I feel I will end up using the Gamecube controller. It is the best designed controller ever in my opinion.
