How many sets of Yoshi controls do you have?

[Chaco]

This might sound weird, but I wanna see if anyone else does this. I have three. Tap off, tap on, and tap on.

Tap off is for people you can egg camp.

First tap on is for DRing/DT abilities

Second is for easy grab tricks, and aerial versatility.

 

[DarkLeviathan89]

LOL, I think I'm still the only person here who uses only tap jump on.

 

[bigman40]

Only one. Tap off, L = attack, ZR = shield, R = grab. This handles all my moves whenever I need to use them. Plus, I'm still learning a few more tricks

 

[Chaco]

I like those controls Scat, might have to try them. They seem to cover all needs. Excellent!

 

[bigman40]

If you like using the Classic controller (I have the nyko connector to make it bigger), then it'll work great for you. If you use GC, I have a completely different setup.

L = attack, B = jump, X = specials, and tap off. It's a tad hard, but the feeling gets easier when I want to do all my moves.

 

[Poltergust]

I just have one: L as jump, and tap jump off.

Not that that is a problem... right?

This, only thing sort of hard is DRing, but I've gotten pretty consistent going x-x-a

yes you are

how do ever get back to the stage without canceling your jump with eggs?

He does almost everytime, unless you gimp him. Heh.

 

[Ostro]

I have two. A basic one simply with tap jump off, and one like Scat's, but I use ZL to shield as well since I tend to alternate based one what direction I'm facing.

Since I've started using the second setup a while ago, It seemed like tilts came out faster with L because it's less sensitive to smashes, along with easy DR. Faster tilts work wonders.

(I have the nyko connector to make it bigger)

Sorry to be off topic, but this thing is awesome. The Classic controller is useless w/o it.

 

[Yikarur]

I use Classic Controller
L Shield
R,ZR,ZL Jump
Y Special
X Grab
B Jump
A Attack

Secondary Controls only for other Chars

I tried with Tap Jump on but I failt. It disturbed while Egg Recovering.

 

[JackieRabbit5]

i think its too complicated to have multiple sets of controls, what do u do at a tourney make all these extra names w/ ur controls?

so i just have one bear in mind i don't really use ETS or DR and i also main Sheik who i DACUS w/
tap jump off
R=attack

actually i can get ETS and DR w/out special controls though its hard and i have yet to adopt it into my game...i just realized maybe if i slid from Y rather than X to upB that would make ETS easier
i suppose i could try making Y grab and Z jump but i'm afraid that would just confuse me heh

 

[Chaco]

XD I haven't gone to a real tourney. Too far in TN.

 

[Naucitos]

I made this thread about 2 weeks ago, didn't i?
Anyway, i still just have tap jump off and y to special, similar to bigman's GC, also i never use b, so it doesen't matter what its set to, would b to jump be helpful if you think?

 

[YoshiIslander77z]

well i usually use tap off and and L as jump on gamecube controller, but im gonna test using x as shield cause i feel that its takes to long to use r sometimes

 

[Snowstalker]

Default, only C stick is for tilts, and smashes are done by smashing the control stick and pressing A.

 

[Frown]

Two. One with tap jump off, and one with tap jump on.

EDIT: The one with tap jump on is called "PLAYER 1".

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

Just one with tap jump off.

 

[Master Roshi]

well i usually use tap off and and L as jump on gamecube controller, but im gonna test using x as shield cause i feel that its takes to long to use r sometimes

good idea :0

 

[Airborne]

actually i asked mr. clutch how he DR'd so easily and he said he used tap jump and L=jump and got used to it so.... idk how he did with recovering...ill ask. =P

 

[JackieRabbit5]

so i finally broke down and made two sets of controls one for Sheik and one for Yoshi lol

set up for ETS with R as jump and tap jump off of course...alot like the one i have for Sheik actually except R is attack so its perfect.
as for DR i dunno if i'll be using that so much anyways

 

[Shiri]

One with tap for DR, one without for everything else.

You guys should try using Y to grab, it ridix LOL! I made a few other changes (there's a funny story behind this that I might share later), but that is easily one of the most impacting and beneficial changes I've made.

Dude...dear god...that's what I've been preaching for like six months.

 

[auroreon]

Nope, I only use default controls. I've tried tap jump off many times but it just feels so wrong after playing for years with it on for SSB and SSBM. Whenever I have tried tap jump off I can barely even move around properly, let alone play a match, everytime I want to jump I find myself moving the control stick up. As if that wasn't enough you can't even ETS of DR easily with it off! Insanity I tells ya... especially seeing as how I ETS almost every egg I throw. Its just not worth it just so you can throw eggs while your off the edge.
I hounestly don't understand how you can play without tap jump on...

I CERTAINLY couldn't use both, I can't see how anyone could possibly play both. Surely you would get used to either having it on or off.

 

[Airborne]

i know i'm just mentioning that clutch ***** with it, so yeah.... i just dont want to bother with tap jump... XD

 

[Furbs]

I just wanna say yikarur is the man!

also

GC controller

tap off, Y set to grab

 

[bigman40]

Now I have a new setting but it's on GC

Tap off
R -> grab
L -> grab
Z -> shield
B -> jump
X -> special

 

[Sharky]

why set grabs to the shoulder buttons, I wonder? Seems a little slow to me. =/

 

[bigman40]

took out the springs seeing as how it's the only legal mod. Plus, I had gotten used to shielding with Z when I had the springs in before.

 

[Ryusuta]

yes you are

Not even close. This is an archaic way of thinking.

how do ever get back to the stage without canceling your jump with eggs?

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=192513

I pretty much only use the default control scheme.

 

[Gindler]

I need to get a control scheme to get draconic reverse down better. How do you do it scatz? saw your combo vid with alot of DR incorporated into it. thanks

 

[NinjaFoxX]

hmm...
tap off...
Y=grab
Z=attack

if L=jump helps with DR i might use it too...

QFE.

I feel the exact same way as auroreon on this one, and 0rion's thread gives the main reason why I don't mind it so much. Essentially, I got so used to using the up-tilt on Melee without jumping that it's practically natural to keep myself from using my second jump when recovering low with an egg toss. However, more often than not, I find that I tend to recover high instead of low, meaning the egg toss isn't as useful for my style of recovery play at times. The only thing this probably hurts is the Egg Canceled Egg Toss, since it can sometimes use the second jump, but I haven't found this to be too big a problem. Plus, if you do the Edge Canceled Egg Toss too much, you have to use your second jump to do it anyways.

I haven't figured out a scheme that works for me on the classic controller. Since I rarely play with it, I haven't messed with much more than the default scheme, with a few tweeks here and there. I might experiment with it more in the future, though.

When I made that combo video, I was still using the Classic controller. By far, it was very easy for me to DR cause I didn't have to try to double tap a jump button (which I hate doing). I've recently moved to GC now and I've set the controls to:

R = Grab
L = Attack
Z = Shield
X = Speical
B = Jump

I like having to slide my thumb to get the DR/DT to work cause it's much easier on me, since the amount of energy you're creating to do DR/DT with the tapping method (XXA or YYA) is alot of than a sliding method (for me: YBL or YBC-stick). And mainly, the rest is from practicing and putting it in my game when I play.

On another note, I know most people are probably wondering how I can change my controls soo many times and still play good (I just like change every now and then xD), or use the control setup I have now and do all the techs that are needed for yoshi. Most of the time, I mainly have to slide to get what I want now, like for:

ETS - Y to X.
DR/DT - Y to B to L/C-stick.
Quick Pivot grabbing - R to C-stick
and more random stuff. I'm just that guy who will try to find that best set up, even if it's the wierdest one out there xD

 

[-PM-]

I don't change at all. Just tap jump off.

...and I can DR =P

Quick Pivot grabbing - R to C-stick

what's that?



i'd have to test it out.

 

[bigman40]

It was shown in a video (I can't remember which) where yoshi can repeatedly pivot grab as soon as he was done with one. useful if you need to get pivot grabs out immediately

Do I have to use the C-stick? Would pressing A do the job?

You don't have to, but you won't slide when doing the pivot grab with the C-stick.
