Does b sticking limit your play?

[ChozoAce]

I was just wondering i picked up ness last year at first i sucked but i started learning some ATs and playing some people and i got used to B sticking

With every other character i use normal controls (death to tap jump) and i can play just fine, but with ness i have to get used to it again.

So i wanna know if B sticking really limits your play i wanna hear opinions

B-sticking for Ness isn't necessary. It doesn't do him much wonders like it does for Lucas.

ok but does it limit his play? does it make him worse or not

personally, i think it does limit his aerials. only because i can't use ness' aerials correctly without the c-stick. but thats just my opinion.

If you use the C-stick, then yes. Otherwise, no.

I would say the same thing as xoxokev, cause you want to be able to use all your aerials to their best potential, especially a retreated fair, which is really difficult to do without the c-stick. B-sticking doesn't really seem to help me. the only character i would think of using it for is ZSS, but even then it's a stretch.

EDIT: play what you're comfortable with!

I use the c-stick for dsmash.

I used to bstick.
I have different custom controls for Bsticking, smashes, and tilts.
I change depending on how I feel and who I'm playing.

As a former Lucas main, and someone in the process of picking up the other mamma's boy, ont B-Stick with Ness. The ability to throw out quick retreating f-airs and b-airs is made much harder, and restricts Ness' aerial mobility. When you factor in the benefits of Ness' wavebounces to Lucas' the comparison is laughable. Stick with the C-Stick.
