A Clue On the super smash bros site!

They are both control sticks... as was the one on the N64. I'm not saying you're wrong, hell they be stupid not to use the GC controller, but nothiong they have said so much as implies you can't use the control stick on the classic controller. My money's on both being useable. (They'll probably still limit you to using 4 at a time... but hey a guy can dream righ?)

omg.its so simple people. using guns in brawl using the "control stick", which is the yellow joystick on the gamecube controller,

According to Nintendo, the gamecube controller has two "control sticks". That is not a name for specifically the yellow stick.
 
Wii man, your retarded lmao. Brawl will support the Gamecube controllers but also the classic ones, get a ****ing grip and accept your wrong, honestly i think your the 10 year old here, have you used a classic controller, it has the same buttons and functions as the gamecube one so accept your ****ing wrong and get a grip.

no i didnt get owned, all the people saying it WASNT refering to a gc control got owned, or didnt you read the post at the end of page 2?

Apparantly you missed this:

Check Nintendo.com and look at the Gamecube control section. It says: "Two analog control sticks, a built-in rumble feature and flawless ergonomic design ensure that the Controller feels and plays perfectly."
 
I'll use the classic 'cos I've only got crappy pre-owned "logic3" controllers that I picked up when I bought my wii 'cos I also wanted Rogue Squadron and Fire Emblem.

Also I think the Classic Controler feels nicer AND it's got the pointless button of doom at the top in the middle. Does the GC controller have that ; )

well the gray main one on gamecube controllers are called just a joystick. so if the say control stick, its very easy to think of the c stick. and the C stick might probly stand for.....hmmmm. i dont know CONTROL stick.
 
Actually Nintendo would never refer to it as a Joystick as a Control Stick is distinc in that it utilizes a continuous electrical activity as opposed to a Joystick which uses single eletrical connections.

The average gamer like you or I might refer to it as a Joystick, Nintendo would never refer to it as such.
 
I'm actually going to ammend my previous point - yes, the Nintendo website says that the GameCube controller has "2 control sticks", however the manual for the GameCube controller only calls ONE of them the "Control stick"

HOWEVER --- it's NOT the yellow C-stick!

They call the stick on the left the "Control Stick" and the yellow stick on the right the "C Stick". See for yourself: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/gcncontrol.pdf

The "C" doesn't stand for anything. There's an "A" control that's a button, a "B" control that's a button, and a "C" control that's not a button but is a stick.


Regardless of all that - it seems clear that the term "control stick" is frequently used in a generic sense as any sort of analog stick and should not be taken as referring to a specific stick on a specific controller.


And to reiterate - no one doubts that the GameCube controller and the Classic Controller will be usable in the game. The only real question is: will they allow the remote/nunchuk combo to be used as well.

Also see page 16 of the Gamecube manual:
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/gcn101_manual_english.pdf

Page 5 of the Wii manual refers to the nunchuk's stick as a "Control Stick"

so if they refered to every joystick as a control stick, why did they say THE control stick. THE means one. so if theres two joysticks on the gamecube controller, that means one is a control stick, and another is just a joystick. i just used logic to proove u wrong.....

(sorry for the double post)so based on wat i just read, wouldnt that still mean they use both the sticks?
 
Nice find Skippy... I am so repping you

<reps skippy>

Personally I don't think you will use the wiimote/nunchuck combo... even if the "How To Play" section of the website shows a wiimote, but then again, I'm prepared to be wrong. We'll no doubt find out for sure soon enough anyway.
