@CCC:
Soooo…given that I probably won't be able to get the Gamecube controller adapter at a reasonable price for a while (don't want the Gamestop bundle with four controllers...), do you guys recommend the Wii U pro controller? Not just for Smash, but in general? I've never played a wii u before and don't personally know anyone who owns one, so I honestly have no idea how useful/relevant the pro is over the included gamepad thing.
It's pretty nice and very ergonomic (I prefer it over the Gamecube controller just a smidge). I use it when I do some extensive gaming in Mario Kart/Smash, games that don't really use the gamepad screen too much.
Plus, the battery in the Pro Controller is fantastic. I got it back in July and fully charged it upon unpacking it, and have had to charge it only once since then. The Gamepad, though, needs more frequent charging, which is understandable, given the screen.
