    Anyone actually retrain themselves to use a different controller?

    Interesting replies. Regarding the practice practice practice thing, I think I'll give it more of a go :) It's weird though, I used GCC exclusively for ~13 years (ugh, I feel old). The only 2 problems I see with GCC for Smash 4 are jump is so far from c-stick (for default settings, remedied...

    Anyone actually retrain themselves to use a different controller?

    Thanks for the reply! Huh, interesting, I hadn't considered that. One controller per game would keep stuff straight in your mind. I exclusively used GCC in Brawl though.

    Anyone actually retrain themselves to use a different controller?

    I used GCC since Melee. I thought maybe the Pro Controller might be objectively better, so I started training myself on that. I set front L to shield, back L to special, front R to jump, back R to grab, right stick to attack, tap jump off, then ABXY all attack. Oh, also, I played with my...

    Anyone make the switch from GC controller to Pro?

    First, my apologies if there's a thread like this. It's been many months since I've visited the forums. Back when I was active here, I made a few posts regarding controller setup. I was playing the game again recently, and I'm more and more tempted to use a Pro controller rather than a GC...

    Ike Spike Montage

    Motivational. I love the titles.

    Ike's go-to moves?

    Huh. What are your thoughts on ftilt v. dtilt? When starting a match with an opponent immediately in front of me (like 8-player smash on a small stage), I've been using ftilt. Then again, I play against noobs, mostly.

    Ike's go-to moves?

    Exactly what I wanted! Thanks a ton.

    Ike's go-to moves?

    Of course you shouldn't use the same moves over and over. I'm an Ike noob and have been watching some videos of him, and noticed some things. It seems people in videos use nairs quite a bit more often than fair (whereas I'm inclined to do the opposite). I've also noticed there isn't much use...

    Complimentary characters.

    Ganondorf's somewhat similar. Heavy, slow, strong, some quick attacks (I'm looking at you, bair).

    How do you do your aerials?

    Wow, 23 to 23. I usually use the A button. Especially on the GCC, short hopping with the A button right there...

    Smash Update is out

    Why oh why did they nerf Sheik? I haven't gotten to play yet, but hopefully she's not the suckiness she was in Brawl.

    Is your go-to character/main different for 1v1, teams, and ffa?

    Wide-ranged? Like Megaman, or like Ike with his sword? Or either?

    Is your go-to character/main different for 1v1, teams, and ffa?

    Title pretty much says it all. I played a lot in Melee, did alright in some tournaments (just local ones). I mained Sheik, yet never did very well as her in ffa, chose Ganondorf instead. Considering I haven't played much in the last 10 years, I'm not too sharp. When I do play, if it's 1v1 I...

    Q&A Controller / Button Mapping Advice Thread

    Having used GCC, Pro Controller, GamePad, WiiMote, and WiiMote + nunchuck, I can say I prefer GCC, not only because I started on Melee, but also being able to have my thumb on A with easy access to the other buttons is nice. Like, just roll from jump to an aerial. Also, this thread inspired me...

    What's the most ridiculous circumstance in which you've won/lost a match?

    Weird. Very. As for me, at the end of last semester I brought in Melee to play with my students. I played a lot in college and was better than the best students (I'm a scrub by tournament standards though). In one match I was playing 3 students who had pretty much never played before...
