Wiimote and nunchuck will offer best experience

[thespoiler]

I know that most will disagree, but the Wiimote and nunchuck controls offer the best way to play.

-On a Gamecube controller, your thumb shifts to the "a" and "b" buttons, while with the Wiimote nunchuck setup, your thumb and your finger are covering these buttons all the time.

-Jumping will be easier, because you don't have to take your thumb off of the "a" or "b" buttons.

-Plus, the Wiimote and nunchuck setup is comfortable!

As you can see, the Wiimote and nunchuck offer more flexibilty than the Gamecube controller. We think the Gamecube is better, simply because we are so attached to it. The only downside I see to the Wiimote and nunchuck are the constant replacement of AA batteries. Good thing I have rechargeable ones!!!

I will now put on a flame shield.

 

[Symphony X]

All good points.

 

[Icarus Descent]

I suppose it may be good,and I might actually try it.

 

[higgins]

i will try every setup except the classic controller because i dont have it but i want to know how the wii remote is by itself

 

[Tajem]

Your flame shield worked.

 

[B J]

and wiimote + nunchuck has shake smash hahah for whatever that counts for

 

[Darkslash]

Hmm No wonder Nintendo of America/Canada are only allowing the Nunchuck set up.Very good points man. I may use the nunchuck now

 

[Indignant]

It makes sense, plus we won't have to deal with the "click all the way in" deal for shielding, right?

 

[daytimeninja]

Sure, bust most former SSBM players will stick to the controls that feel best.

 

[Superninjabreadman]

Right, and they'll just play as their SSBM Mains, and on Battlefeild/Final Destination.

[/sarcastic]

I'll prolly use the Nunchuck...

 

[DRaGZ]

To be honest, the only thing keeping me from considering the Nunchuck + Wiimote setup us simple because I'm so used to grabbing/shielding with the right shoulder buttons and not used to using a trigger button for Special Moves. But...I reckon I could change my ways.

Also...like Sakurai, I just love the powerful rumble of the GameCube's controller.

 

[Tristan_win]

That's true but you could just change one of the jump buttons into shielding which would more or less fix that problem.

 

[Cookiez]

Hmmm, I guess I have to wait till SSBB is released in the UK to see .

 

[xbrinkx]

Stick to the control that you want to, this is, after all, the fan's game. I'll try Wiimote/Wiimote + Nunchuk, but I think Wiimote might be good as well. I hear it's better than you think.

 

[thespoiler]

True, but the Wiimote and nunchuck setup allows for more fingers to cover more buttons at once. That, my friend, means you don't have to move your fingers as much.

 

[Sonic XD]

Wiimote and nunchuk are more useful for character control. Im definately using that

 

[S623]

I think the only control setup that I won't like would have to be the Wiimote. It just looks painful.

 

[Kazuma]

change r to jump.

 

[Sculelos]

Only problem with the Wiimote+Nunchuck is it lacks the C-Stick. Hopefully the shake smash feature can make up for that problem.

I'm quite attached to the gamecube controller but will probably use the nunchuck setup if I'm feeling like using a wireless controller.

 

[thespoiler]

change r to jump.

The Wiimote and nunchuck setup still has the advantage. On the nunchuck, you have the "L" trigger and the "c" button. On the Wiimote, you have the "b" trigger and the "a" button. You could literally have all of the buttons covered, without ever shifting your fingers to another button.

With the Gamecube controller, you have the right side, which only contains an "L" trigger. On the left side, you have the "a", "b", "x", and "y" buttons. But, it isn't possible to control two of these buttons at once. There is a "z" button, but it gets pretty hard to control when you have your middle finger on the "R" trigger.

Wiimote and nunchuck setup still wins.

 

[Formless]

The wiimote/nunchuck is awesome for me because your hands aren't so close, you can put them in any position you want

 

[J18]

yeah, i'm going to have to experiment with the control set up for wiimote+nunchuck and gamecube controller.

by the way could someone elaborate on shake smashing for me? cuz i'm a little skeptical about the nunchuck setup with no c-stick

Yes, you're correct with that. I guess that's an advantage for the Gamecube controller. I believe that shaking will be a bit uncomfartable. Still, the "c" stick was a novelty, and wasn't needed. Some people like the option, but it still took your thumb away from the "a" and "b" buttons.

 

[Darkslash]

Well I'm gonna practice Chuck set up. In front of my comp screen lol

 

[brawlmaniac]

Well, I'm going to try the Wii-Mote and Nunchuk. It's either going to be that or the Gamecube controller.

 

[BentoBox]

Anything wireless isn't tournament friendly. Guess why Wavebirds were banned? It isn't necessarily about experience so much than simple convenience.

 

[INs4niTY-]

It would be a good way to play with friends or funmatches, i dont think it will work that well in competative play unless the skills are easier to pull off.

 

[thespoiler]

Then here is a question:

If the Wiimote and nunchuck controller connected to the Wii through a wire, would you consider giving it a go?

 

[TBL_Luis]

Good points, I'm trying every setup except the Classic Controller since I don't own one, I'll for sure consider using the Wiimote+Nunchuck


EDIT: and to people who say the Wii-mote seems painful, with the Wii Remote jacket, aka this thing: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp ,its not so uncomfortable

 

[fr0st2k]

All good points.

honestly ... it took all you guys this topic to realize this? You were so caught up in the gamecube controller that you never ONCE thought of these very obvious points for yourself?

i can't believe the sheepiness of the brawl community

 

[Sculelos]

I just used the C-Stick cause I jump backwards and forward Air for example.

Now I will use the shake smash if I use the nunchuck, so I can perform the same moves.

Honestly I don't mind moving my fingers or hands slightly while playing the game.

Well I was going with the Wiimote by it self at first..............then thinking of buying a GC controller. But now im gonna stick with chuck.

 

[errtu]

i´ll try them all and then decide. i don't see what the problem is with moving your finger. doesn't bother me at all. and the shield problem... well just change the buttons man!

 

[BentoBox]

Then here is a question:

Definitely.

 

[Chro]

I was always going to use Wiimote+Nunchuck, b/c I don't have a classic/GC controller and just Wiimote looks uncomfortable (pressing 1+2 for smashes? )

 

[Kr3w]

You have great points.
I don't think I will like the wiimote - nunchuck combination, but I'll just try it once I get the game.
2 weeks!! XD

 

[25%Cotton]

question -- does shake smash mean that you can ONLY do a smash if you shake the wii remote? i'm pretty bad at changing between tilts and smashes in melee, so this could be very useful to me...

but yeah i plan on nunchuk-ing, because i *is a loser* pretended to play smash using it once and it seemed pretty natural and easy.

 

[Chaosblade77]

I am open minded toward that and the classic controller (I got one for some SNES games that the GCN controller sucks for). I am not counting on using it, but I have planned to try it for a while.

 

[staindgrey]

Believe it or not, I like the idea of the Classic controller, but I still have my GCN controllers- some of them work anyway. I'll use every style and decide, like anyone should, so time shall tell. But at least we've got plenty of options, right?

You can press A and B or Shake. Or so I read and heard in Vids. Ike has a Smash ball. People start Shouting A AND B! A AND B
