Super Smash Bros Brawl supports four controller schemes to suit various players:
- Wiimote
- Nunchuck
- Wii Classic Controller
- GameCube Controller
The consensus among gamers (and Sakurai (lead designer)) is that the Gamecube controller is best suited for Smash Bros.

According to Gamernode:
- In an interesting move, Sakurai, the lead designer of Brawl, chose to include four control schemes to suit all players. If you're new to video gaming altogether, you might want to try the Wiimote scheme. If you're a seasoned veteran looking for something new, give the Nunchuck or Classic controller a try. But of course, the majority of gamers will stick with the tried-and-true GameCube controller mode.
