awh D: well i guess i meant i did search but couldnt find it
In that case, most ZSS mains don't. The benefits gained by B-sticking for Zamus (easier b-reversals and recoil specials) don't outweigh the benefits of C-stick smashes (retreating fairs/back airs, ff uairs, easier pivot dsmashes, dashing usmashes, etc).

well i was mostly wondering because i used to play lucas alot, and i b-sticked with him, so it's not like i'm unfamiliar with not having c stick smashes. also i find that i'm having a hard time using the up B for combos because i accidently use the f-B D: alot.

I'm not amazing w/ her yet and just really wanna know if there was a control setting to make things more comfortable, i mean i'll expirement sure but any tips would be great... aaaaannnd let's face it, i'm having a hard time short hopping w/ ZSS D: (oddly i can do it w/ everyone else...) unless of course tap jump is good for that (i turn that off)

Yeah, I think a short hop with Zamus will bring you nearly level with the low platforms on Battlefield. This is unfortunate, as ZSS would benefit greatly from a lower short hop.

I just said this in another forum, but with practice you can do most anything that you would B-sticking that you could C-sticking. If it weren't for hyphen-dashing, it would be the same vice-versa.

ZSS loves her hyphens, though.

Edit: Yeah, I wish her shorthop was actually really short. It's the only thing that REALLY bothers me with her playstyle... (although, it's always fun to catch someone off-guard with a "short-hop dair", as useless and unnecessary as it is)

The upside to her having an incredibly high jump is... well, it's an incredibly high jump.

I don't have too much problem doing a short hop. Especially if I am against comps. (I don't get to play against ppl as much as I would like so I play against comps for something to do). And I mean a short short hop, not one of ZSS's normal large ones.

I can't always do it in a real battle if my opponent is putting pressure on me but that will come with more practice.
