Controls

Super Smash Bros - Controls

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are 4 different controllers you can use, with infinite possibilities, as the controls for each is fully customizable. I’ll lay out the default controls below. But don’t worry about not having the same controls at a friend’s house. In the options menu, you can transfer your control settings to your Wii Remote and easily upload the data to your friends Wii.

Other options

I’ll start with this, as they can greatly impact your control set-up. 

Tap-jump:
When on, you can tap up on the control stick to jump. When off, you have to use the standard jump button to jump.Not available for the Wii Remote Only setting.

Default:
This will set the controls back to default for that controller.

To Test:
Press the button on the Wii Remote to go into a training-type mode allowing you to test your control scheme. (or press the START button when using the Gamecube Controller to enter test mode)

Save:
Obviously saves your new control scheme.

Shake Smash:
Only available for the Wii Remote Nunchuk setting. If this is on, you can quickly shake the Wii Remote in a  direction and your character will do a smash attack in
that same direction; similar to the C stick of the Gamecube controller. The accuracy of the motion sensing is debatable though.
