In an interesting update to start out the week, Sakurai describes how the customizable controls we’d heard about in the <a href="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various02.html">“Names”</a> update work.

The first thing to do is pick your name. All custom control settings are saved under then name, and each name can save a setting for each of the four different control schemes.
Once you begin customizing, you simply select whichever button you want to edit, and select the command you want it to do.

A few other features were also revealed in this update. The first of which is the <em>Tap Jump</em>. This handy little feature toggles whether or not your character will jump when the control stick is pushed upward. This feature will please those who always found attacking upwards with Strong Attacks was a inconvenience (myself included).
Our other move was the <em>Shake Smash</em>. Exclusive to the Wii Remote + Nunchuk setup, this move allows a quick Smash Attack to be performed in the direction you shake the controller. Like the Tap Jump, this can be toggled on and off.

Once you’ve customized to your heart’s content, you can test your new setup in a simple training zone before saving.

Your customized setups can also be saved and taken with you wherever you go, courtesy of the Wii Remote’s internal memory. Simply press the + Button on the names list to open the menu, and once there, old 1 + 2 to save your name to your Wii Remote.

The name stores your preferred control settings with it, so simply transfer the name back to any other Wii Console and get to Smashing with your favourite settings.
EDIT: Eagle-eyed poster Chi's Finest has noted that in a previous screenshot from the "Tourney" update, there is an option to pull a name from the Wii Remote at the name entry screen:
