For those of you that have looked at different control set ups for the best way to play Super Smash Bros Brawl, I can say without a doubt that the new Classic Controller Pro is the way to go.

I know a lot of people still swear by the Gamecube controller but one thing many people haven't capitalized on is the fact that GC controllers make doding a fraction of a second off, yes that isn't going to matter to many, but its noticeable when playing skilled players that play with the Wii remote and Nunchuck and they don't have the lag.  Reason for this is the button doesn't register the analog press only when you press it all the way down does it finally register, and if you're familar with the GC controller the shoulder buttons take a second to press all the way down, long enough to create a lag in the dodge.

Classic Controller was my set up since it offered the advantages of both the GC controller and Wii remote, only issues being grip, the Z buttons, and the sticks being close together, those being big enough for some to swear off the controller, but now the Pro fixes this, removes the analog shoulder buttons from the controller (they didn't have the issues like the GC controller since they weren't as big, but still it helps) and they moved the Z buttons to the back so you can take advantage of that as well.  So what you have is all the advantages of a GC controller with the quick response of the Wii remote and classic controller, and some real grip and comfort.

So do you want me to buy a Classic Controller Pro?

No wonder I always felt that brawl lagged when I played with the GC controller... No wonder I stopped playing it a long time ago :)

I agree, even though I don't even have the game. I know the game is hyped like crazy, but I just bought my first Pokemon game like last week (I don't generally follow Ninty games anymore)

New Metroid and Zelda game are definate buys though

Hence why I bought the Classic Controller JUST for SSBB.

Same here.

its also the preferred controller to play Monster Hunter Tri xD

I like the straight Wiimote. I used to dot he nunchuck thing. I use the GC controller when short.(only have 3 Wiiremotes). But I swear by the Wiiremote. I've never used a CLassic though.

And Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.  It really is the best traditional pad this generation, and by a decent margin.  Every 1st party should let Capcom co-design their pads in the future...

i haven't played Brawl in an Hole year i might try to finish the hole game ones and for all lol...
