Analog stick or Y button?

[Exile724]

Well some people use the analog stick to jump in brawl some people use the Y/C/X button which do YOU use?



Personally I use the analog stick because it's easier and more usefull but thats just my opinion lets hear yours.

 

[LouisLeGros]

I use the search button

 

[LOLhahaDEAD]

Neither. X button ftw.

 

[Brainiac_man]

You mean X not C right? Yeah I use X, but I have a B-Stick setup with Z as attack so Y is grab when I need to throw away an item.

I use C (wiimote/nunchuk controls). I turn off tap jump - I just can't stand that function. Makes it more difficult to use up tilts properly. Never liked it in the previous games, and the ability to turn it off is a godsend if you ask me.

I cant see how anyone prefers using the analog stick to another single button. Its almost impossible (well for me anyway) to make the transition from a dash to a jump using the analog stick. And when you do, you lose some momentum you were carrying from the dash

Also, once youre airbourne, its hard to use your second jump while moving in a certain direction. If youre moving left/right during a jump, using the analog stick to use your second jump requires you to move your thumb from the pushing-left/right position on the analog stick to pushing up, and then if you want to continue moving left/right afterwards, you have to revert your thumb back into the pushing-left/right position.

This, for me, is a lot harder than using completely seperate buttons for moving and jumping, e.g, analog stick for moving, Y button for jumping.

Down on the Wii remote's dpad. I rest my thumb half on the down button and half on the A button. I never have to lift a finger to play the game.

 

[Unseen_Killa]

You gotta use the button to carry momentum. The End.

 

[tirkaro]

X button.

My Y button broke from all those super nintendo VC games.

 

[Xtreme Starfox]

X button seems to be the best one for me.

 

[The Executive]

Only X/Y/Z(?) jump carries momentum. It took me 3 days to get used to it, but now I can finally shorthop u-airs and u-tilt without JUMPING AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE MOMENTS.

Also, B-sticking ftw. You lose stutter stepping, but I don't use Sonic/C. Falcon enough to req. it.

 

[Tofu Beast]

I use Up on the analog stick to recover, but use the X button to jump on stage.

 

[Exile724]

Why do you all use X instead of Y and you have all convinced me I need to stop using the analog stick xD.

 

[aznegglover]

I use the uh.. X button, I think

 

[The Executive]

If You Don't Jesus Will Falcon Pawnch You From The Inside Out.

He'll Say 'jesus Paaaaaaawnch' But Since It's On The Inside It Comes Out Sounding Like 'rahldsjkfl'.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I use the Classic Controller, but adjusted which button is used to jump. Through my control scheme, the a button is used to jump.

 

[Exile724]

I asked why do you guys use X instead of Y on my last post I'm curious

 

[derpinsmash]

x just feels more natural to me. i honestly use both x and the analog stick though. In melee I also use y whenever im doing a wavedash and L for wavedashing and L-cancelling lol.

 

[UltiMario]

Y button
cause Tap jumping SUCKS
Ive HATED it in every smash game, so much, I never even DID Utitlts because I was afraid of that stupid Analog.
*grumble*
Being able to turn off Tap Jump almost outweighs tripping IMO

 

[GreatClayMonkey]

Y I turn tap jump off

 

[RupeeClock]

I've used the analogue stick since Smash 64, it's what I'm used to.

 

[zapdose]

Haha, in Melee, I used X and R for wavedash and l-cancelling. Pretty funny how we used the exact opposite buttons.

 

[Zook]

Y button .

 

[Tofu Beast]

ummm..........what's up with this Smiley...

 

[Egret]

I jump with the start button.


By jump I mean pause the game, quit, and play melee.

 

[Exile724]

I now jump with the X button and sheild with the L button thanks for the help.

 

[Lovage 805]

I think I've posted this to defend analog jump users ... 15 times. Here's the breakdown, I learned how to play Melee not knowing any better using up as jump. If I could live my life over again, I would learn how to do it with X/Y. But I took this unorthodox setup and made it work. Here's what I, and others, can consistently do with analog jumping in Melee. I'm a C.Falcon/Fox main.

Short Hops (SHFFL), JC grabs (just slide up and Z) Complex ledge stalls (G&W Dair, Samus Nair, Fox Shine Laser Illusion ledgegrab) JC Shines (2 with Fox, 3+ with Falco) Fox SHDL(very easy), Marth SHDFair (very easy) Shine Bair with Fox (and of course Falco) Etc.
What I need Y for: Wavedashing, jumping out of Moonwalks

BTW if you can't Utilt in Melee you suck, period.
I still jump with up in Brawl, being as this is a slow and non technical game, nothing has challenged me yet in terms of jumping (rar is just as easy)

 

[Brainiac_man]

Why do you all use X instead of Y and you have all convinced me I need to stop using the analog stick xD.

Only the buttons allow you to jump full distances, analog takes away momentum from the jump, also makes short-hopping aerials a bit more difficult.

 

[raymanbud714]

I have a weird custom set. i use x to jump however i dont always use it. i set the c-stick to jump as well so i can run at the enemy with the analog then tap the c-stick up really quick to do a short hop and attack with an airial attack.

 

[_Slick_]

I use Up on the analog stick since I've been doing that since 64.

 

[BBQ°]

For some reason I use analog stick for first jump and then Y for second jump. Just a habit.

 

[Bendu]

I turned tap jumping off when I first got the game. But then I realized I preferred to have it on cause I use it sometime to ledge stall or just when I've jumped over the ledge to attempt to gimp somebody, and I'm coming back.

Zevox

Read my mind have you?

 

[jmoney316]

whenever i use the wiichuk the c with the GC the x n y

 

[Smash G 0 D]

I've always used analog stick to jump.

In melee I could waveshine, shorthop, DI, and everything else just fine with the control stick. Just takes some practice >.>

There's no dash jump momentum in Brawl.

If you think you can't jump as far using the stick as a button then you don't move the stick fast enough. >_>

Edit: I use X. So I'm not some stick elitist. But it irks me when people say that one control method is mechanically inferior when it's actually not.

 

[Master of Fossils]

Wow I use Y. Why do so many people use X? I guess I'm by myself. (almost anyway)

 

[DRaGZ]

Tap jumping is awesome.

It also conserves button-pressing time in your right to do other things.

Right now, I'm trying to get used to c-sticking more often so I can do stuff even faster.
