I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but it has been bugging me for the few days I've had Super Smash Bros. Melee (and my own console).

Why is it that the C-stick (the yellow one) does nothing in 1-player mode? It does smash attacks and aerial attacks in Multiplayer mode just fine. Is this intended? If not, how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance to all non-profane or insulting repsonses.

The origional idea behind the C-buttons on the N64, and by extension the C-stick in the GC, was for camera control. In the 1-player mode it does do something - you can zoom in and out. Big woop, I know.

Multiple people controlling the camera has obvious problems, so they had to give it another use, which ends up being super-awesome.

I hate that you can't use it . I always die because I press it over and over and can't figure out why it's not doing anything, then I remember.

It sucks because good players can't play their best in single player because C-stick is actually necessary in doing certain things.

Yea, I've noticed that without using the C-stick, I can't use any Down air attacks without making my character fastfall. It is very annoying, and generally ends up in me missing AND dying. :(

At least I am not the only one with this trouble. Thank you all.

If you want to dair with the control stick without ff, just make sure you move your fingers fast enough that you are holding the control stick down before you reach the peak of your jump. You can only fastfall from the peak of your jump and after.

I still wish that it was possible to neutral air using the C-stick. They could made the C-stick have a button function like the PS2 analog sticks...
