One of the selling points of Super Smash Bros. Brawl was that it was supporting a whopping four different control schemes, in tune with the Wii's massive emphasis on control gimmicks. You have Wii Remote Style, Nunchuck Style, Classic Style, and GameCube Style. You'd think which one was best was just a matter of personal preference, right?
Well, no. Much like Geometry Wars Galaxies, Brawl is a game where not all of its control systems are equally up to the task of, you know, working. GamesRadar did a fairly detailed breakdown of all four control schemes, and came up with this (paraphrased) ranking of crappiest to bestest:
- Worst: Nunchuk Style
- Crappy: Wii Remote Style
- Okay: Classic Style
- Awesome: GameCube Style
The problem seems to be that it's either impossible or very difficult to execute throws using any controller but the GameCube's. If so, this is pretty depressing to me. I'm no fan of the GameCube controller. I was really hoping the Classic could triumph here.
