help with down b mashing

[weegee the green wonder]

Hey I can't rise with down b at all I can barely stall myself in midair with it and I need help because I am currently playing a handicapped luigi and I wish to get better and I figured this is a good place to improve

If you're into customizing your controls, you can set your D-pad directions to special and just press it all around to get the maximum height.

I tried the d pad trick I can't get it to work for me

Other than the d-pad trick, all you can really do is practice mashing as best you can. As a plus, 3.6 made attaining max height easier.

And the d-pad trick makes you lose Luigi's gawdlike taunts. Not worth =P

 

[weegee the green wonder]

Yeah it's easier in 3.6 but I still can't rise with it maybe if I set my unused jump button to special also...I don't know...and I totally agree those taunts must stay

That might work. Just experiment untill you find something that you're comfortable with.

 

[weegee the green wonder]

Yeah, I've been practicing and I can now rise slightly

Its mostly something you just have to practice for me I use my B Button but my Button is very stiff from using it

 

[weegee the green wonder]

Good news through lots of practice I have found a hand position that lets me rise with utmost ability, I kinda use the side of my thumb to ware into the button

In 3.5, I used the dpad trick. I find it unnecessary now that mashing has been made easier. Just play a bunch of Mario Party minigames and you will have it in no time!

Just think, its been made easier to accomplish than Melee's nado. Just keep practicing and you should get the muscle memory eventually!

I can rise about half way in melee now, all the way in pm and jumpless Cyclones in 4 are still really hard though

Pm has a lower mash rate than melee, i use my forefinger and my thumb and I practiced that for a little while, if that doesn't work make sure you aren't holding down on the control stick by accident, it happens to me on a few occasions still.

Great news I can rise all the way in melee, using the side of my thumb I can mash it by twitching the crap out of my arm
