Are you at least gonna try the other controllers? First one I'm trying is gonna be Wii-mote + Nunchuk. ^___^

Your idea is good...but I'm pretty sure Sakurai said the D-pad would activate those premade chat phrases. Perhaps he could save D-down as a button...but using that for jump would be too awkward in my opinion...D-down should be grab I think.

True, however those messages only appear during taunts. and you can't jump during taunts. A and B should definitely be attack/special attacks. and the jump button really should be close to these buttons. So I think the d-pad (any direction) should be jump. and 1 and 2 should do nothing. way to far away from A and B for this game. SSB is the kind of game where you want to be very accurate, so letting go of A to reach down there would be bad.

So I think d-pad to jump while not taunting, messages while taunting. My controls are the best I have seen for Wii-mote and Nunchuk. Someone had the same as me but they switched C and Z, but I think Z needs to be grab.

I just think pressing D-down for jumping would be too awkward in quick fights....reaching up for the D pad and then back down to A would get tedious (yes I know I sound uber-lazy...but it does matter in really quick games like Smash Bros).

A jump button on the nunchuck would make the right hand easier to play...and using the D pad for grabs would be more acceptable, because grabbing isn't used as often or needed to be as fast. Once you grab...you're stuck grabbing for a few milliseconds anyway.

 Umm... I practised the use of the shield so often I can play versus a Level 9 CPU and it will hit me only 1 out of 10 times... and I guess that´s the case with a lot of people here.

Rol, you are crazy. But that´s the reason we like so you so much  

-_-

The d-pad is millimeters away from the A button. Now, I don't know about you, but I can put my right thumb over both the A button and the d-pad......at the same time! There is no unnecessary movement needed for me. Also, I meant that any button on the d-pad would be jump: up, down, left and right. So you can't put the pat of your thumb with the line going across on the A button, and the top part of your thumb on the d-pad?

I think the d-pad is very close to the A button...I'm actually surprised by how close. It's very easy to use missiles, for instance, in Metroid Prime 3.

Exactly, you don't even have to reach for the d-pad, the tip of your finger can easily be on the d-pad while the rest of your finger is over the A button.

He's evil! Let's get him!!!!!
