Forward Tilt

[U go study]

So do most players actually tilt the stick or do you do the leftstick+a?

Tilt, in order to differentiate it from a smash attack.
Tilting slightly is honestly easier that slowly pressing, just takes more practice. Once you get it down, it's easy though.

I tilt when possible, and slowpress when there's no pressure on timing. Both are useful, but on the whole, being able to just tilt is probably a more reliable technique.

Since I switched to the Wii U Pro I have tried getting myself to start using both sticks as tilt, but I still haven't gotten that in muscle memory.
