Is your C-Stick set to Smash or Attack?

[Rango the Mercenary]

I notice more and more players switching C-Stick to Attack lately. As an Ike main, this is practical. But as a Mario secondary, I don't want to mix it up wrongly. Mario relies on Smashes heavily, so I keep my C-Stick to Smash.

What's your C-Stick set to?

I have mine set to smash attacks too. Helps me a lot with pivot JC up smashes and pivot f-smashes. The only move where it could help having it set to attack, in my opinion, is d-tilt.

Smash. I sometimes just use the old way of smashing though, like if I'm on my 3DS.

I recently finally get to play Smash Wii U, so far I set to smash.

Even though I use New 3DS, I rarely use it's C stick.

I've been transitioning to attack recently. You can do smash attacks just as fast manually, generally.

It comes out of years of habit, but I'm thinking about switching it.

Smash. Been playing like that since Melee.

I've switched and I haven't looked back since. Made it through a tournament today and all the DTilt spam and proper aerial spacing made the difference.

My first problem with C stick changed to tilt attacks, is that I sometimes input the wrong direction. Or sometimes it doesn't function as I had expected.

I use it exclusively for DTilt since that's what I need from it. That and spacing aerials.

By the way, as a Mario, do you feel better using C-Stick for tilts or attack?

Mario, Mr.G&W is better when using C stick as Smash. Ike, Shulk,Link, Toon Link, and Rosalina are better is use for tilts.

My only issues are doing pivot jump-cancelled up smashes without the C-stick and the fear of performing a f-tilt instead of an f-smash in a punish situation (happened to me way too often). Otherwise I would consider changing it to attack, since it would also help my Samus.

I switched to smashes for mario due to pivot jc upsmash and comboing into downsmash, or usmash off dair... But now I've switched back to tilts with tap jump. Mostly so I can transition from sheik/mario better.

It's only really feasible for me to accurately read/follow DI for fair with tilts on, also the double sticking/buffered upair possible only with attack stick seems pivotal for mario. I just feel like I juggle better with it.

I also use Z-jump, but that's mostly for other characters. It does make sh/fh fireballs and fludd useage better though.

I can still do pivot jc upsmash with tap jump, but only with 95%+ consistency going to the left. About 80% to the right for some reason. Working on it.

I can fast fall cross up Bair with the c-stick set for tilts so my aerials follow only one control stick input. Idk why it makes it easier, but I've played this way since my transition into WiiU

My C-Stick is set to Attack. To make up for the lack of a shortcut for Smash attacks, I've set Y as Special so I can pull off the "Attack + Special = Smash" shortcut by pressing Y + A together. I've gotten some good results from this setup.

I was just doing the inputs for Pivot JCUpsmash(>>+Quickly slide to), there's an easier way to do it? I'm already pretty consistent with this, but i wouldn't mind switching to something easier on the hands. I have only as my jump currently.

I set jump to the Z button in the GCC (R button for the Pro Controller), while having the grab on the L button, to perform JC Up smash better. I use the C-stick for smashes but in your case, this would allow you to have your thumb on the A button and don't have to transition from Y to A.

Hmm, i may consider this, though i did have as a special button because it made some of the needle tech with Sheik easier...Though, now that i have one of the 2008 Wii GCC (the white japan ones), i trust my buttons for B reversing a bit more now, might have to try out Jump on

I rarely ever use my c-stick for smashes, since I get out of the groove and go play Melee, and then I can't charge my attacks. So I set my c-stick to attack and I just use my a-button.
