Wait, how does connecting four controllers to the steam deck to play smash bros would work?
I use a combination of PS4, PS5, and Nintendo pro controllers, all over Bluetooth. Works great.
I do this with Xbox controllers and it's very easy. Depending on the emulator you usually have to assign which physical controller should be used for which console input. Usually this is a one time setup unless you switch back and forth a lot between the built in a Steam Deck controller and an external one.
I recommend launching the emulator from Steam when setting that up so there isn't any confusion between connecting directly to the controllers vs using Steam Input. Once the setup is done you can launch individual ROMs directly from Steam.
You can even mix and match controllers. I've played Smash Bros with a mix of Xbox, GCN and PS4 controllers on the Deck.
With a dock with USB ports you could connect the GameCube controller adapter. 4 controllers ez.
