Is C-Stick Too Slow?

[Lunesta]

Im new to the melee competitive scene and was wondering if the C-stick is too slow to be integrated with fast moving characters such as fox. Should i just stick to A?

It's not slow at all, in fact, flicking the c-stick up to do jump canceled u-smashes is how many players usually do it.

I know c-stick has its place in running up smash and up smash out of shine, but it is still fast enough for drill waveshining characters such as peach?

I use c-stick for all dairs. Just do whatever is most comfortable for you

c-stick is better for smashes, theoretically.
Someone needs to correct me on the frame data here, but I believe when you preform a smash with A, it requires at least like 2 or 4 charge frames minimum or something like that.
Then with the c-stick its less.
I don't remember exactly, I read some strong bad post about it like 2 or 3 years ago or something.

but pretty much do what feels most natural.

I use c-stick for all smashes, and Dairs. It's just more comfortable for me that way. I noticed in training mode you can only use down a for dairs and it feels so weird to not use the c-stick. A game like smash certain movements and techniques are just burned into you brain.

You should use the c stick for all airs, especially as fox. Forward moving bair is too stronk.

Honestly I hate that you can't use the c-stick in training mode... >.>

Its a method for you. Each player is different. Find your method which works for you depending upon what you need to accomplish. If you can make it work do it. Otherwise, you might find it easier with something else depending.
