Feature idea: map short hop and regular jump to x/y

[adrahil]

Pretty much everyone uses GC controller, which has 2 jump buttons, plus the ability to use tap jump. That's a lot of jump buttons. So is mapping short hop to a seperate button possible? I did a quick title search and didn't see any topics about it.

I assume you couldn't overwrite jump on one button with short hop, and leave it alone on the other. So you would have to map the short hop action over top of say up taunt, and then set up taunt to Y or whatever button you want to use. This would improve short hop accuracy for those of us who occasionally screw up and end up with a full jump, as well as just making things more fluid. I'd love to see this happen along with the R/L partial button press from the other thread. Margin of error on actions will go way down.

I don't think this would ever really be done. Being able to shortjump successfully isn't some arbitrary tech skill, it's something that should actually be picked up. Especially with how much easier short hopping is in Brawl/Brawl+ over Melee.

Learn to short hop. You cannot map short hop to a button, and it's easy anyway...

Great, a proposal to make the game easier. I don't think its possible though

Even if it were possible, such a proposal will fall upon deaf ears, much like my proposal to separate normal shielding and powershielding into different buttons. After all, people map all sorts of actions to weird buttons, such as mapping jumping to R or mapping shielding to X. You'd be alienating those people.

which one, mapping the button or making the game easier?

*ba dum bum da*

no, but seriously, not a good idea.

id rather have picking up items as y, and attacking as a. its aggravating to try and attack someone and you end up picking up warios bike wheel or the like on accident
