You have to transform the variable TM_FILENAME_BASE

  "ctrl": {
    "scope": "javascript",
    "prefix": "base",
    "body": [
      "class ${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*)/${1:/pascalcase}/} extends BaseController {",
      "\tconstructor() {",
      "\t\tsuper(${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*)-\\w+/${1:/pascalcase}/});",
      "\t}",
      "}"
    ],
    "description": "Extend BaseController"
  }

I would suggest changing the second usage of pascalcase to $1:/capitalize} to avoid confusion. While pascalcase does work here, it is really meant to deal with multiple words with separators between them, which isn't the case in the super line. I just think a new user might be confused why pascalcase is necessary in the second usage.

@Mark It is needed if the filename is like company-wood-controller.js

Good catch. "\t\tsuper(${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*?)-|.*$/${1:/capitalize}/g});" will also work to strip off whatever is the last part of the filename and capitalize the other parts.
