Does the C-stick...

...register ONLY in the cardinal directions (up, down, left, right) in SSBM?

I'm not sure on this because I don't notice a difference between DIing diagonally and in a 90 degree direction with the C-stick.

the cstick yould not be a stick is it only registered four directions. it would be a c-pad. lol

But looking around the C-stick I see 8 engravings (on Nintendo's GC controller) that might suggest the C-stick can register diagonally as well, even though this might not apply to SSBM but GC games in general.

you can fsmash at a slant which is noticable with like samus

 

[Razgriz]

It registers many directions. Only four are consequential to Melee though. For single questions like this, don't bother making another thread. Post them *here*

 

[Banks]

i didnt know razgriz was a mod. oh wait. hes not. lewl.

btw your wrong, like i JUST said you can fsmash at slants.

Let me reiterate my question. What I meant to ask is, does the C-stick register in only four directions in SSBM? I didn't bother to throw this in, because I thought it would already be implied...

For single questions like this...

Since when have single questions NOT been allowed for threads? What you are trying to differentiate between is interpretative and factual questions, not how many questions there are.

leviathan go into vs mode, pick samus and do fsmash. now hit the cstick slanted down and she does a slanted fsmash

so....more than just four directions

kthanksbye

 

[leviathan_]

What about for DI though?

 

[Banks]

idk, youd have to ask someone who knows about DI, like m2k or something.

but regardless, the fsmash shows that ssbm as a game registers more than 4 directions

i dont really know about DI intricacies

It registers in all directions. As was mentioned earlier you can actually attack with the Fsmash and slant it up or down, try it with Samus.

I think the reason your asking this question is because there are only 4 attacks that can be performed out of the cstick. This doesn't mean te diagonals don't register, simply that if they register they must register as one of these 4 attacks OR as a DI.

The Cstick can be used to ASDI, or Automatic Smash DI. This means the Cstick will register a DI in ANY direction, not just where the notches are. This is also true for the control stick, the notches are more a guide than a law. Try using Fox's UpB and you'll notice that you can get angles that are not limited to simply the 8 notches on the control stick. This is especially important for Pikachu/Pichu's UpB recover.
