I use the D-Pad as a sort of C-Stick. I just shield grab anyway so whatever. Shield is easy to reach and so is the jump. The D-Pad was useless before to a casual like me.

Actually, from an objective point of view, their not all equal...Really, all four of the controllers are equal. A Wiimote user could beat a GCN pad user, and a Nunchuk user could beat a Classic Controller user. All that matters is that the player is used to the control scheme. I honestly like Wiimote and Nunchuk a lot better than the GCN controller. Don't get me wrong, the GCN controller was not bad, but the Nunchuk really made it better.
the d pad is the c stick. like the person above u just mentionedI use the Classic Controller since my GCC is so busted that I have to fight to go straight in F-Zero. The classic seemed really bad at first but I tweaked the controlls and now its my most comfortable controller. It really is about comfort but the CC and GCC seem like the best options. The nunchuck setup lacks a c-stick (shaking is inacurate but if you train with it, it will be fine) and the wiimote is just too restrictive.
sensei is maad cool.Sensei from TSA NJ uses the Wiimote so this misconception is different for me.
I don't know but I can't see this to be true. It takes two seconds to sync your mote with your personal settings. All you have to do is go in the names screen and press + and it transfers within 10 secs. Very easy and fast. Nintendo implemented custom controls and different types of control styles, it wouldn't be right to limit it solely to GCC.On a somewhat seperate note though. I have heard that whe wii mote may be banned from tourneys because of setup time and syncing difficulties is this true ?? or just someone talking out there arse.
I am an expert with the wiimote + nunchuck, and I assure you the controls are fine. HOWEVER, the GC controller is much more smooth and responsive. I vowed to never use the GC controller for this game, however, after testing it out, I can honestly say its the way to go
Only pain and heartbreak lie in the wave motion for smashes. The D-Pad can not always be trusted for intricate moves. The control stick is much more inaccurate.
The only advantage to the wiimote is the comfort level.
QFT.Very true. I find that playing with the wiimote is similar to playing Halo with a Dance Dance Revolution Pad. There are certain things that are just too precise for such a blunt instrument.
Doesn't Chu-Dat use the wii/chuck combo?
The Wii/Chuck, GC Controller, and Classic are all equal in my opinion. Its the sences of finding your own control sceme. People are so hooked on using the GCC that yes, anything else is a sin and n00bish, but thats not the case at all. (Just the Wiimote is for beginners. Its already been stated by Sakurai himself, where and when I have forgot but I am 100% sure it was stated sometime ago)
Sakurai put these 4 options so people can be confortable when they play. None of us were good when we first picked up the controller, so we adapted to the controls. Now theres an opertunity to back off from the default and really experience the comfort of a control scheme that you decide. Its just that everyone is used to the controller we have been using for 8 years.

True... and once you get used to it you don't have to worry about your smash. the only disadvantage is you cant charge your smash. For me this isn't a problem because I only charged my smash before when I would hit a guy off and wait for him to fly back and then wail on him. But I use metaknight now so I just chase the *******s and then fly back. The shake smash is fine for anybody who likes to use long flying characters like MK, Kirby, Peach, Pit, ect.Actually, the Nunchuk DOES have a "c-stick." It's called shake smash. Granted, you need to be ACCURATE with it, but it IS there.
Indeed the smash(d)-pad has given me many of the same troubles, but there are some exceptional functional uses for it as you've said.I tried the wii/chuck controller, and it wasn't for me, but I wouldn't call it inferior. I tried setting the D-pad to smashes, but doing all the jumping/shielding with my left hand felt awkward. It was better, but I just couldn't rewire myself to do recoveries with it.
I might try B-sticking the D-pad because I had trouble getting B-moves to happen correctly with the trigger. Sometimes B-up would be B-forward. Sometimes B-forward would be B-down. Similar problems I had when I originally learned the controls for Melee.
Unless I find a wii setup that I can easily adjust to, I'm sticking with the gamecube.
