My favorite way to play Brawl is with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. It feels odd at first, but after a while it feels very natural, much like Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I haven't tried anything but GCN controller but remote+nunchuk takes its toll on my hands after a couple hours.
That was a joke.

I've tried playing with a GCN controller for all of 2 minutes for one round of a tournament. It was fine and felt familiar.

Wiimote + Nunchuk, though.

I've only tried Classic Controller, and I like it!

I've only used a Wavebird.  I noticed people buying non-Nintendo GCN controllers yesterday.  Nintendo could have sold some Wii themed Wavebirds with the release of SSBB.  Oh well, mine still works fine.

I imagine that if I had a Wii and SSBB, I would probably still use the gamecube controller instead of flailing around with the Wii Remote(s)

EDIT: Nevermind.

When I eventually play the game, I'll almost certainly be using a GCN controller.

I've only used the GC Controller, but I plan on trying the WiiMote+nunchuk eventually. To be honest, I'm not really a fan of motion sensing as a default control scheme. I only like it as an option or required for certain games. I certainly grasp that it's the selling point for the system, though, and it will be used whenever possible.

When I was playing with my boyfriend, I used my CGN controller. It works just fine.

Right now I'm sticking to familiar territory with the GCN controller, but I'll try other schemes.

I only use the GCN controller with the following scheme mods:

Up to jump turned off
L changed to jump (Y/X still jump too) -- This is useful in situations where you're charging a move with B but need to jump (Dedede's hammer, etc.)

Note: Wii remote and Nunchuck does not require any wrist movements. You hold it still.

I stuck with the GameCube controller. But I'll probably try the others.

What SolidShroom said. I just got done playing about 15 minutes of it at Gamestop (they have the full game on their Wii display, which surprised me) with the Wiimote/Nunchuck setup. It was awkward at first, I kept hitting A to jump,and I kept forgetting that B was an attack button as well, but eventually I got the hang of it, and it rocked. There is no motion interacting at all, just pushes of buttons.

GC controller for me. The Wiimote is fine, not that I tried it much. The Wiimote + Nunchuck is alright, but sometimes I go in the wrong direction. The Classic Controller would be great if it wasn't for the bad control stick. I wish I could map moving to the direction pad...
