Just started playing with Gamecube Controller !!!!

[King Yo Lu De]

Please!!! I use to play the wii and nunchuck controls, but... i finally got a gamecube cotroller. I'm trying to get use to it, but can anyone give advice on how i can change my controlls to play better; or any other advice that could help me?

 

[Lemon?]

Practice, practice, practice, dont expect to get used to it in 5 mins... How come people still havent figured it out? There are no shortcuts, no tips, nothing... The controller scheme is also up to you >_> Some people like tap jump on, some people like using the c stick for specials, etc use whatever fits your playstyle...

Besides what the smart man above me said, once you get used to it, you may want to adjust it according to your main. For example, some Peach players prefer B-sticking. (C-stick set to specials) Snake players may like setting Z to attack, etc.

Do what you like, then mold it around your character(s).

Oh and the hot-tip would be to ask this is the Q&A, and to not post your sig in the actual post.

Everything that was just said, plus a bonus: If you try the GCN controller and you really, truly prefer wiichuk or any other controller, use that. More than anything else, it's a matter of personal taste.

King Yo Lu De, please don't post that picture in every post you make.

As to your question. Practice makes perfect

Learn to play default?

It really depends on your style of play and who your character is. Also when you decide on your controller lay out practice with it to become comfortable with it.

I really don't like the Gamecube controller. It looks so weird.

How do you guys get used to it anyway?
It's a real challenge to get used to that thing.

You are clearly new to the smash series! lol whats up?

Well I don't understand how you cant get used to the gamecube controller, I also dont understand how you can bear anything else...

I guess we are even!

If you don't use the Gamecube controller, you will never be a great Smash player, period. Why? C-stick aerials.

1. Find the best way for yourself to hold the controller.

2. Figure out what each button does and remember where they are on the controller.

3. The rest is a bit self-explanitory, honestly.

Lol, I've never heard of anyone having a problem with it. Maybe it's just your personal style, eh?

I am a Yoshi main with Tap Jump on. The idea that it is a disadvantage to Yoshi is not strictly accurate. While it does mean that things like using egg toss in the air without using your double jump is harder it also makes certain techs and other things easier.
Keeping tap jump on is not essential for playing Yoshi and it is entirely possible to play Yoshi competently with it on.
