Your Controller

[Jazzy Jinx]

What do you think will be your preferred control method?

Make sure to keep any actual conversation on controllers in the official topic. This is more like a, "tell us what you would like to use" kind of thread rather than an in-depth discussion on the controllers.

The official topic can be found here.

I think that the Classic Controller looks cool, but I'm disappointed to see the control stick on the bottom left... I can't play like that. So I'm probably going to use the GameCube controller again. But, I can't say until I try all methods.

In the process of finding me a brand spanking new wavebird just for brawl

 

[AMPMClock]

Gamecube Controller. Im gonna buy 4 wavebirds when Brawl is released.

 

[Volrec]

Since I will be playing online, and theres really no one near me, GC son.

 

[Green Shell]

Wavebirds look too... "fat" for me.
I went to a locol SSBM tournament at a near-by Gamecrazy, and I had to use a wavebird.
I lost... couldn't get used to it, even though it's so similar to GC controllers.

 

[hellsoldierx15]

hm...it looks like right now that i'll be using the GC controller...i just cant see myself playing smash without one. but, that what everyone else said when melee came out. they could part from their N64 controllers. just like sakurai said, i'll just try them all and see which one works for me the best.

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

GC controller for serious matches, but I might use the Wiimote for "fun", casual matches.

 

[kaid]

Assiming Wiimote-only works like old 2d fighting games, I'll definately give it a try.

 

[kerploplesteesh]

WiiMOTE + Nunchuck = Pwnage. Seriously, if you got good with one and beat all your GCC using friends you know it would mean serious bragging rights.

 

[Eaode]

GC controller for me, definitely.

but of course, I'll give the WNC (wiimote Nunchuck Combo) a serious consideration.

 

[Blazer]

I'll primarily use the GCN controller but I'm gonna test out all of them. The wiimote+Nunchuk does appeal to me a lot.

 

[Mr.Lombardi KnockOuT]

gamecube controller all the way,i hope in tournaments gc controllers are the only ones permited

 

[saberhof]

i dont know, maybe there will be something diferent with the wiimote and others then the GC control to do things better, soo i have to try them out, they might have glitches and stuff, you never know, soo im gonna try them all. i might even use diferent controlers for each character.

 

[vvspidervv]

wavebirds suck the lag time on them is so bad i wouldn't recommend using them but deff gamecube, i will try all the ways maybe it easyer to pull off some moves with different controllers

 

[TheBlackrose]

i wonder why he put the controller update in the "game modes" section maybe that means that everyone must use the same controller to compete against one another and u cant choose ur preference while ur friend chooses another.

 

[X-threilyss]

Wii-Mote > W-mote+N-Chuck > GC Controller > Classic controller
As I see it now

I'm EXTREMLEY interested to see how the game will be played with soley the Wii-Mote.. I really want that to be my prefered method of play, just because it seems the most impractical..

If you were to ask me now, i'd say i'm going to main with the GC controller, but only because I'm already comfortable with it right now. Of course, i'm going to try ALL the methods of play before i make a final decision...

and what saberhof said is a good idea.. that may be an option as well

 

[PsychoMidget]

GC controller ftw, I could only imagine the nunchuck + wiimote combo being like that dragonballz game

 

[Chi's Finest]

GC controller.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

GC. Gonna get a new Wavebird. For some reason I can't get my vote to process. Anyone else having that problem?

 

[Fawriel]

Gamecube I guess. Not only because I'm a cheapskate, but also because it just fits into my hands better than the CC seems to. ... and I'm not good enough to use probably impractical control methods.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

GC. Gonna get a new Wavebird. For some reason I can't get my vote to process. Anyone else having that problem?

I would vote GC controller, but I'm having the same problem as this guy.
It just goes to a blank page when I click "Vote Now".

 

[A-Laon]

GC controller.

Personally, I view all the other methods as a totally unnecessary attempt at integrating the Wii's controller just for the hell of it. Waste of time if you ask me.

 

[saberhof]

maybe with 1 move of the wiimote you will do wavedash or maybe even waveshine!(if they are in) >.>

 

[saberhof]

nvm that post ^^^

WTF, i cant edit...sorry for double post!!

 

[The Hypnotist]

i dont know, maybe there will be something diferent with the wiimote and others then the GC control to do things better, soo i have to try them out, they might have glitches and stuff, you never know, soo im gonna try them all. i might even use diferent controlers for each character.

Exactly, however when I first play I'll be using the GCN controller.

 

[Fastinyoh]

All of you using wavebird: don't you find a bit of lag compared to wired controllers?

My friends and I have stopped using them because we seem to notice that they lag behind a wired controller by 1 or 2 frames.

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

Gamecube controller.. Why? C-stick. GG other controllers. Cstick > you.

I wish I could vote in the Poll but smashboards is being a lil b itch and not letting me do so, or edit any posts.

 

[Phaazoid]

it won't let me vote, whenever i try, it says page cannot be displayed. never happened before, but just so you all know, i vote gamecube controller.

 

[Phaazoid]

@dylanTnga

same thing with me!
sorry for double post, but edit feature not working

 

[killbeast301]

Game Cube FTW.

I'd vote but every time I try it says *Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage*

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

@dylanTnga

same thing with me!
sorry for double post, but edit feature not working

ya editing, sending pms, voting, and posting new threads doesnt work today.

I hope it gets fixed.

GC controller >>> all. It just makes sense.

 

[Toologist]

I'll definitely be using the GC controller, but I do want to try out all the other methods for fun.

 

[Cenedar]

Oy, it won't let me vote either, I just get a blank page.

As for me, I'll be using the good ol' wavebird. I'll probably experiment with the wiimote/nunchuck combo once, maybe more if I like it. But as it stands now, I agree with Dylan_Tnga.

GC Wavebird > me

 

[Meta_Owns_Ur_Dad]

Ah, nothing is working, i can't eve edit my signature and DRD made one for me... = (

On topic, gamecube controller, because it would seem with the wiimote and wiimoth w/ nunchuk i would have to completely start over on how to play.... kinda.

 

[Katy Parry]

yeah. hey hellsolider, wat r u gonna use? have u been ignoring my wii messages?

 

[pikachun00b7]

I am going with the true 1337 controller. The GCN.

 

[Fastinyoh]

So nobody else notices a lag while using wavebirds?

I'll try hard to use the wiimote/nunchuk before going back to gcn controller.

 

[Mic_128]

All of you using wavebird: don't you find a bit of lag compared to wired controllers?

My friends and I have stopped using them because we seem to notice that they lag behind a wired controller by 1 or 2 frames.

It's all in your head. There's no lag from them at all. I'd still be using mine if not for the fact the Control stick wore out :/

 

[X-threilyss]

It's all in your head. There's no lag from them at all. I'd still be using mine if not for the fact the Control stick wore out :/

he's right.. wavebirds work just as well as wired controllers.. the only difference between them is shape and weight..
