Tag: Genesis 4

Hello everyone!

I haven’t updated this in a while but before I do my thank you post for The Big House 6 & a full ruleset release for Genesis 4, I figured I’d make sure to list out the controllers allowed for Genesis 4 for Smash 4 Wii U as I have had many ask.

I listed them out in a series of tweets, which I will list below:

So for #G4 controllers:
+ GCC
+ Wii U ProC [Wired/battery removed]
+ Wii Mote/Chuck [removed batteries after set]
+ DS [BYOCharger]
2/2

A lot of new people are coming into the scene with using other controller options than a GCC, I want y’all to come compete.#G4

I hope this is accommodating to everyone who wishes to compete in Smash 4 Wii U. Very similar to how I did things at CEO 2016 and Shine 2016, the ruling will essentially be written out as:

• Allowed Controllers:
  • GameCube Controller
  • Wii U Pro Controller [wired method with battery removed and bring your own USB cable (model WUP-018) to plug into Wii U to play]
    • How to play a Wii U Pro Controller with the wired method [source: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1732/~/how-to-remove-or-replace-the-battery-in-a-wii-u-pro-controller]

      • Notes:

        • Turn the Wii U console power off and disconnect the USB cable if it is connected to the controller.
        • Use a crosshead style, size #00 screwdriver to avoid damage to the screw or threads.
        • Do not use any battery other than the Wii U Pro Controller rechargeable battery, model No. CTR-003.

        What to Do:

        1. Loosen the screw and remove the battery cover.
           • The battery cover is designed so the screw can be loosened, but not fully removed.

           

        2. Remove the battery by inserting the stylus from the Wii U GamePad under the battery and gently lifting the edge.
           
        3. After 10 seconds, insert the new battery from the right.
           
        4. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw, being careful not to over tighten it.
           
  • Wii Motes & Nunchuck [batteries must be removed immediately upon completion of set]
  • 2DS/3DS [must be responsible of having a fully charged DS along with your own working charger]

Hope to see many of you at Genesis 4! We are less than 100 days away! Register today at smash.gg/4!
