I was never aware...

[ArcPoint]

That I used the Z button so much, until it stopped working. Default controls, and Z button is just pushed in... so yeah

How often do you guys use the Z button with Wolf, and primarily for what? Also say why.

 

[castorpollux]

Boost smash!

 

[§witch]

Grab, and I grab alot.

 

[-Mars-]

My z button on my GC controller has been broken since Brawl came out. I use y for jumping and I changed my grab to X.

You don't need the z button for boost smashing or anything really. You can switch r to attack and be fine.

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

I use it for smash boosting, since I set X to grab, I don't use Z to grab, just smash boost.

 

[ArcPoint]

So Boost smashing > Dthrow? o.O I have my priorities opposite haha.

 

[Ishiey]

I don't have a grab button, I have to use shieldgrabs. Well, my taunt buttons are set to grab, but that's just for chaingrabbing. Stupid wiichuck

 

[ArcPoint]

Why not use GC controller? It's considerably better in my opinion ^_^

Also, what do people commonly do after you Dthrow them at zero percent? It forces some sort of reaction, so which is the most common? I get spotdodging or jabbing (or some other really fast move) after a Dthrow at 0.

 

[rgrwilco]

use a wii mote and nunchuk controller

no hassle for a z button to grab, cause z is block =)

 

[Ishiey]

I don't have a gc controller... never owned a game cube, and I got used to wiichuck quickly, it works well enough for me. It just makes things like boost smashing harder, not like boost smash is easy with my controls anyways though.

Usually people do the fastest move then can, which is usually a defensive option like spotdodging or shielding. I just hold A to jab through the spotdodge, or cancel the jab into a grab if they shield. Btw, the bayonet has a really ridiculous hitbox, for those who didn't know.

I agree....i never owned a GC either...and got easily use to the Wiichuck...but i have a ???

if u set a GC controller to x...does it make it easier to grab and boost-smash...plus has anyone tried using the GC controller for z to jump...seems pretty ok to do...wat r thoughts

 

[ElPadrino]

Heh, you're in a role of threads Arc...

Anyway I use Z for boostin smashing and for dash grabs, for normal grabs I just shieldgrab.

 

[ArcPoint]

I'm bored, so I make new threads. And I've just been used to a GC controller, default controls O_O Never played Melee either haha. I can boost smash just fine with the C stick down up and Z thing. Though I find it easier to do a standing grab with Z than shieldgrab, primary reason is the turn around grabs xD

After a 0% D-throw I usually f-smash, smash boost, try to re-grab, f-air, or if I'm fast enough with the RAR I b-air.

 

[ArcPoint]

I'm asking what THEY do, not what you do.

 

[AssaultX]

Boost-Smashing and grabbing, even though I press R+A 5 times more than Z... =/

 

[Blazer]

I don't think I've paid attention to what they do really. Wait I know! They get caught in my Fsmash, that's what.

 

[TheTickleMonster]

I actually dont use Z at all. I used to main falcon, so my Grab was set to X. its easier to combo with than the Z button for me, also pivot grabs cancel quicker with a face than a trigger.

 

[Phantom7]

I use z all the time with Wolf, actually. That really sucks that yours doesn't work anymore. I always downthrow the opponent and shoot them right when they get back up, I also find upthow + uair and backthrow + bair + another bair to be useful, since both of those combos are great for juggling.
