I can't use the r button cause of the way I hold my controller lol
How do you hold your controller?
Do you have one of those weird keyboard grips or something? lol
Spyro
Smash Ace
No, this is how I hold my controller.
This post is from a while back. I've gotten use to holding it like this by now.Here is how i've been trying out holding my controler, my left and is the same as it was befor, I just have my pointer finger on the :ltrigger: and thumb and the :stick5:. However the way I hold it with my right hand is pretty weird. I put my thumb on thestick5:, my pointer finger on the :bbutton:, my middle finger is on the :abutton:, my ring finger is on the :ybutton: and my pinky is on the :zbutton:. So yeah, its going to take a lot of getting use to.
*EDIT*: Yay, my 300th post lol.

isnt that how javi plays?

think so, i'd be concerned about damaging my hands playing that way. not really a natural way to hold the controller

Damaging your hands? lol wut? that's pretty much how people have been playing the piano for thousands of years :/

JPOBS with the #1 avatar.
Yea although I heard he actually uses the R button with his pinky ring finger.
tarheeljks
Smash Lord
feels like a different part of the fingers b/c you are not also moving your hand(s)
edit: hitting the keys on a piano in this manner seems like a more natural finger motion than the gamecube buttons b/c of their respective designs

:shurg: moreso fingers, i've played it around w/it myself and it feels really stressful

It was really awkward at first but now I'm perfectly comfortable playing that way now.

I just tried it and immediately reverted back to the old way. It is just too damn awkward. >.<
This is also coming from someone who can't use R to save his life though.

It took a lest a couple of weeks to get use to for me, but it payed of for the techskill purposes.
*EDIT*: I use to just you R for shielding, so it took me a while before I could start start hitting my L cancels, wavedash, waveland, ext. again.

I still dont see how people can play in such a weird position.
Especially when playing video games in the normal position our whole life.
Spyro
Smash Ace
Everything I did when I first started holding it that way was delayed, even just stuff like jumps and attacks in general cause I had to think about what finger I needed to use for what button. Like I said, it took a good while to get use too.
Nakamaru

I can definitely see the advantages. I could do double shines really easily with fox. And instant arials were 100 times easier. I just can't imagine playing under duress like that. Feels to easy to twitch and hit a wrong button.
I wonder if technical people will start to adopt the claw as the game progresses since it really reduces the effort needed to execute "perfect control" shenanigans. (run on sentence!)
I'm also gonna guess you play a lot of TFG or are a fan of an arcade stick.

Actually no, the only other fighting game I own other than smash is Tekken 3 and I've never used a fighting stick in my life.
I think most technical people are still going to stick with the normal position since that is what most people are used to.

idk if you've been asked this b4 in your thread but I don't wanna sift thru these old posts
what goes on in your mind during matches and how does being ahead/behind affect you?

i don't think much but I try to keep track of reoccuring habits/mistakes opponents make and if they are onto my bad habits/ whether I need to change things up. IMO you should only keep track of small nuances and not think too much unless your brain is capable of doing such a thing
if I am ahead I am more willing to be aggressive/ make risky plays to gain reads/ get more of an advantage, exception is if opponent is going ballz deep and playing like a madman. Most people don't expect it tbh. It's a comfortable spot usually and I don't mind dying from being more aggressive if it gives me another read
Being behind doesn't discourage me since falcon can 0 to death anything can happen, it's all momentum

if you get behind just think
"welp, its just gonna be all the more epic when i come back and win"

This is my mentality.

I actually really like the mentality of
-No JV
-Build Percent
-Take the stock
-Repeat
When i'm behind this has gotten me the furthest. It is either that or i think about Nihonjin vs Ek from way way back in the day.

I'm pretty sure Ek gave his controller to his little sister when amsah got down to his last stock.

I dont play from behind.
I dont really have a technique when I am behind.
All I do is say I can win this and that I have to focus really hard to come back
TheSaudiMizer

So I was wondering what's the best way to punish a fox with a good bit of damage (around 70%) if they DI your up throw behind you? I think if you can do it well a pivot up air followed by a knee or something would be a good punish. I just don't like having to back air if I could punish stronger.
Couch
Smash Cadet
In my experience you can land a good f smash in this situation if the DI is right.
TheSaudiMizer
Smash Journeyman
Yeah but on bigger stages like dreamland where it won't kill them, you would be better off with a combo to the edge.
Couch
Smash Cadet
true that.. that was the extent of my helpful advice haha. maybe a stomp in their direction?
TheSaudiMizer
Smash Journeyman
So is a pivot up air -> something not going to work at that percent? Would it work at a higher percent if not?
iRobinhoood
Smash Lord
Silly question, but how do you reverse Falcon punch? I always accidentally it.
Scar
#HarveyDent
pivot uair doesn't make any sense. turnaround uair might work but it sounds tough / unreliable
if you're at the ledge bair sounds fine to me, you should be able to edgeguard from there. jeff does turnaround dtilt which makes a lot of sense to me (maybe i'll start doing that)
@reverse falcon punch, do you mean turnaround and falcon punch in the air? or do you mean hit with the reverse hitbox?
