Build your own battle stage
Make your own stages, and send them to friends or save them on an SD Card.Four different control types
Wiimote sideways.
This one looks a bit improvised and is probably also the reason why all the other controllers are supported.
I'd probably prefer the gamecube controller over the rest.
Wiimote plus Nunchuck
With this configuration you can shake the wiimote to Smash wich is nice, and all the other moves have their own button.
But i'd still prefer the Gamecube controller I think.
Classic Controller
This config is a nice one too, you'll at least have all moves under it's own buttons.
But still...
Gamecube Controller
This one also has all different moves under its own button.
Maybe I'll prefer the Classic controller... we'll see.
Customize
From what I can see with the Classic and Gamecube controllers, smashing will be possible with the right stick, with wich you can smash in four different directions.
But if you're not satisfied with the default controls you can always customize them and even save them to the Wiimote or your wii itself, so that you can use your own custom control scheme at your friends Wii.
