C-sticking areals

[Squidster]

So I've decided i should use the c-stick for most of my areals in order to have more control of my DI... but am having a bit of trouble


(assuming you play holding the control normally and not with some strange mishapen claw)

How do you guys c-stick areals, what fingers, do you find it easy to do / think i'm retarted for having any trouble with this, etc. o_o

When I C-stick aerials I slide my thumb from X to the stick.

There has to be a better way, but its all I'm use to.

I wonder how others use it.

 

[imdavid]

I do it the same as above said user

you use your thumb for everything. i guess if you want to get reallllllly technical about it, i know some a guy who lets his thumb hover halfway between a and cstick. but he jumps with up. i generally keep my thumb around a/x and just cstick some aerials. dont think about it too much, just do it for a few days till it feels natural.

Tap Jump is probably the only way to do it without ye claw, yarrr.

 

[choknater]

bairs fairs dairs i dont really need it

it's more important for chars with strong DI like wario or jigglypuff

for sheik...

short hop uairs, c-stick is pretty useful

 

[rinoH]

i use my thumb for aerials but if its a short hop aerials i use the a button

 

[Squidster]

Uairs with tap jump off are easy to auto cancel.
Just retreating Bairs / Fairs are what i care about. A well i'll just keep trying

 

[demodemo]

i do all my aerials with a, unless i specifically want to retreat or something

and for cstick aerials, my index finger is on y, thumb on cstick. i use y to jump, never touch the x button.
