The WaveBird is a problem. Those are notoriously aweful.

Since when? Wavebird is the tits. I could use that thing all the way from the kitchen.

Since they were first released. They are known for noticeable input delay, and connection issues causing occasional dropped inputs and/or extra ghost inputs. Their only advantage is being able to sit further away, but in the picture, buddy is going to be within 3 feet of the console. Within range of a wire on a standard controller.
Its probably fine for some Pokemon Colosseum, but there is a reason you are never going to see them at a Melee tourney.

Interesting, this is the first I've ever heard anything negative about the Wavebird (other than lack of rumble). I played a shitton of GameCube in my younger years and never had any of the problems you described, or heard of anyone else having those problems.
I just looked it up and the Wavebird has 9ms or input latency--less than a frame. Regular GameCube controller has 4ms, so only 5ms added. So yeah, maybe too much for competitive smash? But negligible for anything else.
The secondary market also seems positive on the Wavebird: the cheapest (complete or working) one I can find on eBay right now is $60.
