The Wiimote only scheme seems a little awkward (spelling?), I mean... - for grab? B for shield? Good thing I have plenty GC controllers ;)

 I think the most use will be made from forum competitions .. i can easily see every gaming forum (that recognises nintendo as a noteworthy company) having competitions for the furthest hit, and possibly even team challanges to see which duo can do the best

Well the Wii comes with one nunchuck. Everybody can definitely play Wii remote + Nunchuck style for single player. This is just a backup option for people who want to play 4 players but might only have 4 remotes, 1 nunchuck, no GC controllers, and no classic controllers. I'm sure a lot of people will have 1 nunchuck, 1 classic, and 2 GC controllers anyway, but maybe some people will prefer this control scheme for whatever reason. I'm all for maximizing control options. That's part of why I love the Wii so much.

I'm ready to rock though. I've got 4 remotes, 4 nunchucks, 1 classic, and 2 GC controllers (but not Wavebirds sadly, I'm getting one soon I swear).

 Aw that sucks! I wasnt paying much attention cuz my eyes were really tired hehe.

I still predict Lucas' special moves tonight. No Norfair tomorrow though...something else.

I say sonic fs

I know I will be using the Wiimote-only scheme for battles. Except online, since IDK how you can map the taunt commands to the A.

Also, if interested, an analysis on the Samus VS Mario Brawl Video.

Anyone else think the controls of A and - should be reversed? Thank god for personalized controls!

I'll mostly use GameCube and Wii-mote + Nunchuk controllers anyway..

Number of updates each character has been in:

Yoshi has surpassed Pit.

YEAH. That makes sense. Either that, or I shield with down, and drop with B, and grab with A.

OR, I can go crazy. The home button does Smash attacks.... Muahahahaha.
