Quick question about Brawl

[Yoda9864]

So I've been playing it for a while and it's pretty much the best game ever . Assuming that some of you have it already, I had just one question.

If you have 4 wavebird controllers (probably same with regular GC controllers) plugged in to your Wii, is there any way to select a different controller type when you choose your character? Because right now, you have to physically unplug the wavebird if you want to use the wii remote and I don't like that very much.
