Control Scheme

[deadlyximpulse]

The title is self-explanatory, What type of controller do you use to play? Wii remote + Nunchuck, Class Controller, Gamecube Controller, Wii Remote held Horizontally?

For me, It's always the gamecube controller because it fit comfortably in my hands and the controller itself has a very good unique design. It's sad that I might not be able to use it for the upcoming smash game but hopefully the transition to the pro controller isn't going to be a hassle.

I use the Wiimote-Nunchuck combo because I feel comfortable with it when playing a lot of other games on the Wii.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

I use the GCN controller, since I was used to its control scheme from Melee. I will definitely use the Wii U Pro Controller in the next installment.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

For SSB4... Um. Prolly the Wiimote. Rather use WUPC, but don't have one.

You should buy one. If it's too expensive for you, wait until you see some deals or price drop on it. I remember seeing the Wii U Pro Controller on sale at Best Buy for $11 or $22 (not sure which).

You're setting yourself back if you're not using a GC controller.

GameCube controller. But now that I moved my save file to Wii U, I have to use the Wii Remote + Nunchuck. Same situation with Mario Kart Wii.

It was $22 or something like that. I only bought one then, but I wish I bought three more, Mario Kart is less than two months away.

It has been the GCN controller since basically the start. I tried using the Wii remote and I just wasn't comfortable with it in any way. Whether it was with or without the nunchuk, I just never really got the hang of it. So that's why I keep using the GCN controller. Though I guess now things will change right?

 

[Justin5267]

They do make adapters for GC controllers that make it function as a classic controller, so you can still use a GC controller for Wii and Wii U games on a Wii U obviously. I might get one but iirc they aren't super cheap.

 

[Yoshiman222]

Wii Remote.
...yes, I'm know I'm probably using the the worst control scheme off them all.

 

[MQJinx]

I use the GCN controller.

This is ironic, I just order my GCN adapter off amazon for 14.99$ and it should be here on Tuesday.

Also I meant to add this to the question, do anyone change their controls around (I.E remove tap jump or change the L button to grab)?

I leave everything as it is but take off tap jump so I can do U-tilts better.

[/quote]I mess around with one random name once. It's got the most confusing control scheme ever.

Nobody plays as it.

I use GC controller (everything's smoother with the C-Stick, k? ). Classic Controller is doable for me (I tend to let my brother or his friends use the GC while I use Classic since they aren't so good and we only have 1 functional GC controller), but the GC controller lets me be so much more precise and makes my playstyle flow MUCH more smoothly.

I actually change my control settings around for my name tag; I set L to Specials, Y to Grabs and I disable Tap Jump.

I set L to specials since it's more comfortable using PK Fire with Ness that way and allows me to pull off a technique called the PK Jump, much more comfortably. Also it's easier for me to do an Up Special out of Shield. =P

Setting Y to grabs is so much more comfortable and lets me pivot grab easier. Especially with Yoshi.

I disable Tap Jump (I DESPISE it lol) so that I can Up Tilt and angle my shield upwards without jumping (so I don't get shield stabbed if my shield is somewhat low and leaving the top of my character exposed), and it's VERY useful if I play Yoshi; it allows me to throw my Eggs BEFORE using my Double Jump. There's also times where I try to recover with my Up-B, but I get hit out of it (with anyone), and don't have a Double Jump. If I get hit out of it, I'll be able to attempt to Up-B again and then actually use my Double Jump to recover.

 

[H-J Kaabii]

Tried all but classic controller, GCN and Wii/Chuck are my preferred. Shake Smash is annoying but tap jump I keep (particularly if on GCN since I can just Cstick up smash). Unlike Timmy who obviously plays a technically advantageous control setup

 

[tsvlink25]

I always used the Gamecube Controller, because I grew up playing Gamecube games all the time, and I just found it to have the easiest controls. I use the classic control after I moved the game to the Wii U, since it's similar to the GCN Controller.

 

[SirYoshi211]

I always use my classic controller pro. I prefer it over the other control schemes and it's similar enough to the gamecube. I use the default settings for it as it's most comfortable for me to use.

 

[Sashe2705]

I always use the Wii Remote. I've never tried playing with some other controller...

 

[AegisReflector]

I have always used the GCN controller. There's just no other way of playing Smash. You can try to deny it but you're wrong.
