A friend of mine, after purchasing his Wii, bought 4 Wavebirds and Super Smash Bros. Melee. He then started to complain that the reception was choppy and lagged incredibly. I then went to his place to play and the bad quality was evident. Is this possibly from the fact that the Wavebird was placed below the Wii while the receivers were above it or do Wavebirds just work poorly in general on the Wii. I expect the GameCube controller to be my main control scheme in Super Smash Bros Brawl and am hoping that this can be fixed by turning the Wii to fix awkward positioning.
I have a Wavebird and use it when I play GC and VC games on my Wii. So far it has been working perfectly, but make sure that your friend has the numbers at the bottom of the Wavebird and sensor set different for each control (That way they don't interfere).
How do they work? in 3 words;very, very well. If you're friend isn't getting excellent control with them, then he's screwed up with their setup or the wavebird'sbatteries need replacing.
works fantastic for me and my mates, i have one to play vc and casual games from the distance of the far corner(cause its comfiest) but i tend to use a wired controller for smash cause that tiny lag. anyway when me and my friends get together two of usually use wavebirds cause of seating locations and besides the tiny lag that they always have there is nothing wrong with them at all.

Agreed, I've had no problems just make sure the channel on the reciever and the pad are matched.
2) experiment with different channels on the wavebirds. and make them apart from each other or until the wii doens't interfere...but hey its made by nitnedo so they wouldn't mess up like that.
so try: wavebird 1 to be at channel 9 (reciever too at channel 9) and wavebird 2 at channel 3. - just random but their far apart.
3) also, it helps to minimize the amount of wireless clutte rin ur room. don't stroe wireless thing between u and the wii. keep cellphone sin drawers/closets/pockets, and mayb telephone off to thie side somewhere.
4) wavebirds don't have pointers in them so i does NOT matter where they are. above or below or downstairs, they still work - provided that ur insulation isn't too good.
oh, i had this problem before. the wavebird takes about a second or half a second slower to react when u press a button, so if ur playing a super fast paced game like melee that takes lots of button mashing, you r bound to see a tiny little difference. but its not really a problem. That is why hard core smash players uses wired controllers
