Best controls?

[DTKPch]

In your opinion, what do you think is the best control set up for Samus? (GC controller preferred, just because it has more usable buttons)

1. Tap jump on or off?
2. C-stick: smash, special, or something else?
3. I was contemplating putting grapple on something other than z, but I guess it's fine at z.

Default. I keep tap jump on for other characters' sake.

Of course it is personal choice, there is no "best" control setting, it's all by your muscle memory so experiment and see what you like. I'm sticking with default because i tried out everything else and default suits my Samus.

Default controls. Tap jump stays on for faster Screw Attack/usmash out of shield. C-stick is used for standard attacks to make smashes easier and bair/fair attacking more flexible.

i take tap jump off it only seems to annoy me or use a jump when not needed

1) Tap jump on. Screw Attack out of shield=bread.
2) C-stick=Smash. Samus can't B-stick missles, screw attack, or bombs anyways. B-sticked charge shot is useless too.
3) As long as the grapple can be executed via R+A, I'm fine. Zair=butter.

Bread+Butter=Toast. Your skill is the toaster that cooks the bread. And everyone knows that toast is made of win.

Lol at Toast comment. I use the same control as you though. I feel it gives best use of control. Control you character ,control your opponent, control the match, win.

Bread + Butter = one hungry samus-mainer...

Tap jump OFF and c-stick (or right stick for classic) to smash. If you play around with it, tilts are easier to pull off and of course the beneficial bair and meteor dair.

Toast=win indeed, especially in Samus's case, when it is not far from the literal truth.
