How to U-tilt?

[Acidictadpole]

Well I've recently started playing Jiggs a bit, and from watching videos of other people playing her I realise that her Utilt is very useful and very needed. I however am relatively new to smash bros (2 months maybe 3) and am having trouble doing a utilt without jumping.

The only method i've currently found is to hold the stick up while finishing a move, so that the jump never actually takes place. Any other time and I just either smash or jump so no utilt can take place in that situation.

Is there a general way to control yourself to utilt other than this method? Because although the right way I don't feel comfortable holding the stick up as it could mess up some evasive maneuvering (and has already).

Thanks,
Acidic

Holding up after you finish a move is the easiest way to do uptilt. You don't need to press the control stick up all the way to perform an utilt, either.

I found it just took practice in getting used to where you need to place the joystick in order to do an up tilt. You don't even move it halfway up, you literally barely tilt it. Just keep sliding the stick up a little bit at a time until you don't do a jab any more. Then just get used to where it is. Practice a shffl'd aerial into an up tilt, and you'll have it in no time.

It's just like anything else in this game, all it requires is practice.

its not that hard after a bit of practice. i had trouble when i first started playing as well. Just tilt the control stick so lightly that it is barely tilting, and press A. It will take some time to restrain your power on the control stick.
Another helpful tip:
If you want to do the aerial up A without doing a second jump. use the C-stick instead.

So barely tilting the stick makes you not jump as well?

Yep. Same way barely tilting left or right causes your character to walk, not run.

Ah ok. That may help with the technique too Now i just need to not hit the stick up and yell "utilt ****it!" and just be gentle.
