No c-stick, no d-pad. It'd be okay for stuff like Street Fighter, but not really a replacement for the GC controller for Smash Bros.

Im very upset about this being a fight pad and not a GC controller

That's an old controller they've been selling for ages, not the new one they recently announced. They have a version of that design for multiple consoles, and the Wii one has been around a while already.

Oh okay, my mistake. I saw an article claim that this was the one they announced. I hope the real one is basically a Wavebird for the WiiU.

According to the press release, the new one is still going to plug into a Wiimote and function as a Classic Controller, but we haven't seen what it looks like yet.

That's a real shame, the Classic Controller's weight feels awful and being tethered to a wireless device feels really weird (also buying batteries sucks). They should just make a Pro-style standalone GC controller.

It's not great. The way you plug the game cube controller is super loose. Then there's times where it doesn't register your button presses. Then you have to like, press start either a lot or only once for it to work.

Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell
When Brawl came out I was not exactly a hardcore smasher, so I didn't mind switching over to the Wii-mote. Now I've gotten pretty good with it and it is the worst and best habit. I never have to fuss with being wired close to the console, or bring my own controllers everywhere. But there are plenty of downsides too. For instance, I play with a Wii-mote.

I'm not gonna say best because I think the DaulShock is the best, but it's like top 5 for all controllers. It's even better than the regular GC controller.

If Nintendo made an official Wavebird for the Wii U my first reaction would be "My God, it's a decade later and that controller is still preferred for Nintendo consoles?"

And my second reaction would be "Where can I buy one?"

I guess you're supposed to hold the jutting bit in your left and let the right side just push into your hand so you have better reach to the buttons? It does look like a woodshop project where some kid went really nuts and over-sanded one side, though.

A lot of people hold the left side and rest the right on their leg, using the buttons like a fight stick. I don't know how they hit the R bumper like that, though.

So no not really.

Edit: one thing that always annoyed me about Brawl was that if you got stuck with the classic controller, then the shoulder mapping was weird. ZL and ZR were mapped to the GC L and R, while LB and RB are both mapped to Gamecube's Z. Come to think of it there was a way to remap the buttons right?
