Easiest Button to Short Hop with?

[Joeyd123]

I know how to short hop, but I have trouble doing it with consistentcy. I usually use the y-button to do so on a GC controller. I just want to know if I should be using X or the control stick. Or should I just practice it more in training mode?

Practice with all 3 and see what is most comfortable to you.

Using the control stick is a bit harder and needs more practice.

X or Y might be better.

Shouldn't you turn jumping off for control stick?

Am I the only one that uses the Control Stick?

I've been using Control Stick since Melee. Now it's just natural for me.

Personally I use Y cause it's closer to the B button. You just need a quick thumb and some practice. I turn the analog stick jumps off cause it messes up my up tilts.

Exactly. It's just muscle memory now.

It's really all up to personal preferences and which one you're most comfortable with. Me, I set it to C when I started with Brawl and still do it like that to this day.
