Easiest Way to ZJ

[hotsh0t6]

hi im new my current controls to ZJ is r and b, r is set to jump. Is there any other easy ways to Zj cause it is pretty hard for me even wit these controls. wat are ur controls that makes it easy for u? thx

I've found b-sticking it while using tap jump to be the easiest way.

it's easier to do using the l or r trigger for jump (I personally use the L), but the c-stick is still somewhat inprecise. Using the analog stick and b button is probably the most effective way, even if you lose a little bit of distance using it.

my control scheme for lucas is as follows: L jump, z attack, y grab, c special. The l jump is for zap jumps, z attack is for z aerials (a holdover from melee controls), y is to replace z as a grab for tethers, and c special is for bsticking/wavebouncing/whatever you crazy kids are calling it these days.

I have no difficulty zap jumping either of two ways with this: bsticking w/ tap jump, and using L + side b. Either work fine.

Clawing it requires either an awkward grip or for you to move your hand, so don't do that unless you're crazy.

Thats strange, I use the exact same control scheme as you levitas, except I turn tap jump off.
Anyways, I use L to jump and have found that you kind of have to start hitting the c-stick first (just barely).

B-Stick PKF + L-Jump

I like it without the b-stick but still L for jump, b-stick is probably easier tho... Anyway, it's just different timing because it takes longer to press down the L trigger than a jump button. Try hitting L a little earlier.

I use B as special and Zas jump. I hate the shoulder buttons since they take so long to press down and it throws off my timing.

i use the classic controller
L - grab
ZL - jump
ZR - grab (i don't use it)
R - guard
A - Jump
X - special
Y - special
C - special
B - attack
i zap jump with X and A, and zap jump wavebounce with ZL and C

That is strange. too good.

Why does everyone find claw so hard? I just claw it and get it nearly 100%. Then again, I hit r with my middle finger.

 

[PKstarstorm]

i use the c-stick and x for jumping. for some reason, i can not use zap jumping as a recovery move because it does not work when it try it as a recovery and i only fall to my death.

L-jump and B-sticking is the easiest way.
