Wiimote alone is disadvantageous to you, actually - get a GC controller (new ones will be like 30 bucks) or use a Wiimote+Nunchuk.

It's disadvantageous because on a GC and maybe on Wiimote+Nunchuk [I don't know] but not on Wiimote alone, you can do a bair while moving forward only. As an example, Peach can float backwards and hit the c-stick forward to fair while continuing to float backwards - the same concept could work with Falco's bair to never stop or slow down moving in a direction, but that's not possible on a Wiimote alone.

Also, although learning a GC might not be tons of fun, it works with 3 of the 4 unmodded games and Brawl-. And I think it might ultimately make you an even better player (having a c-stick is SO good...)

no I did not because it will cause desync
If you're running Brawl Minus 3.5, Version 1 of the New Footstool Triggers code is already in your build; it won't make you desync.

Go into Options > Controls, and customize your tag's Wii Remote + Nunchuk controls so that DPad Down is Up Taunt.

Now you can attempt footstools without wasting jumps if you miss. :)

I understand I'm taking a big risk, and a c-stick would be nice, but I'm doing ok without a GC controller or even a nunchuk. Also, I can understand the fair while moving backwards in the air can be helpful, but my mains can't really use that effectively. *cough* Kirby *cough*

Now, if I played those characters you mentioned, then I'd already be using a GC controller. But I don't.
I also have some twisted joy of being the only person who uses a Wiimote alone.

I'm disappointed that you think I use wiimote

Actually, I was thinking more of using bair while moving forward through the air... it's a trick Falco and Kirby can do because of their bair hitboxes that lets it function as a short-ranged but [often] significantly better fair. But it's your call either way I suppose.

I only footstool with Mario. So I haven't used the new triggers ...consciously

I'm really impressed with how well you handle solo wiimote (best I've ever seen really), but still would encourage you to attempt to practice with a controller that has a c-stick & shoulder buttons. I play with the classic controller and GC controller & there's not to much skill lost between transitions, but I prefer the compactness of the CC.

Oh, that's what you meant? Sorry I misunderstood.

Thank you. Know that I've gotten all these replies, I might give a GC controller a try. But that's something for the future.
...Namely, when the Wii U GC controller adapter comes out. I only have my Wii U with me right now... :(

I don't know about Wii-U, but I know that thanks to buying it through the Wii shop, I've played SSB64 with a GC controller on my Wii.

Whoa I just realized that's like 3 different generations of gaming coming together to play one game.

And it could happen again if I use GC to play Brawl on Wii-U.

Does anyone think that Nintendo will bring GC virtual console?
We have adapters now...so...I say maybe. I do know that the file sizes for GC are nowhere near PS2 or Wii.

I think it's a definite possibility. They can and they set themselves up to be able to. They make amiibo, which they plan to use for games after smash 4, so I think they'll have something cooked up after smash 4 and the gc adapter.

Wait, Darxmarx only uses a wiimote?
BS.
There's no way anyone can be that good with a wiimote alone...

Uh... I hate to break it to ya... I do use a Wiimote alone :eek:
Thanks for the compliment though...
Also, yes Bash, Kirby's bair is rape.
