at first I didn't care for the gc controller... and when I was first introduced to melee I just found it terribly clunky in my hands compared to a playstation controller which i was used to using for playing tekken and soul cal. then I got sc2 for gamecube and LOVED it on the gc controller. just couldn't get melee to feel nearly as fluid as sc2.
then I got brawl and remembered how I hated the controller for melee so immediately tried with wii-chuck. never looked back. i've dabbled w/the gc controller and the classic too, classic is really weird w/wolf but it actually worked out really well at first, but I eventually gave up on both b/c my wii-chuck skills are just too ingrained. DACUS on the d-pad on the chuck is second nature to me now, so yeah, wii-chuck all the way for brawl, online or offline.
