Advantages to using the C-Stick?

[Spak]

I was just wondering if there were any advantages to using the C-Stick over the analog stick plus the A-button. I have never used the C-Stick because when I was little and playing the game, you could only use it in part of the game, so I'm not sure if it would be worth my time to properly learn how to use the C-Stick. The only obvious advantage that comes to my mind right now is being able to pop out a Fair while you are going backwards, but I'm not sure if it's worth learning the C-Stick just for that purpose. What are everyone's opinions?

I'm sure there are millions of reasons to use the c-stick but the reason i use it is because it makes fast falling so much easier . Like doing a Shffled Dair with falco is way easier with c-stick IMO ofcourse . But thats my reason.

using c-stick makes uair without double jumping way easier. also usmash oos by just throwing both sticks up.

Screw opinions, here's a fact: using c-stick can do nothing but help you. There are lots of reasons, but the one you listed is reason enough (spacing is really important in this game). You MUST be able to do fully retreating fairs, late dairs without fastfalling, etc. It's also useful for ASDI, buffering rolls/spot dodges/jumps.... just start using it and search these forums for info.

OK, thanks for the info! Looks like I know what I'll be working on for the next couple weeks.
