Lucas B-Stick. Necessary?

[Craij.]

I just started using Lucas as my main a couple months ago and I am aware that a lot of people switched their C-stick to B specials in Brawl, and I'm wondering if its really necessary in Project M.

No. If I can play Melee Falco and I'm unable to switch to B-stick, you can play Project M Lucas and be just fine. Also you'll want c-stick for aerials. Just stick to smash stick.

Also, where in SoCal?

The timing is much easier in Project-M, and it's not necessary. If you really want it, try C-bouncing or w/e its called. basically the same input as a normal B-stick but you have C set to smash attacks as normal and you press B at the same time as you press the c-stick

that sounds like infinitely more difficult lol

its 1 more input

it's one more input for every input

i just don't see why that's at all necessary if you could just press b

It's also a 1 frame window.

That's totally unnecessary, in fact I'd go so far as to call it counterproductive. Zap jump is no longer possible in Project M and you also don't get a momentum boost backwards from SideB, so those reasons to have the C-stick on specials are gone. On the other hand Lucas now has one of the best DACUSes in the game and DJC aerials, which are much easier to perform using the C-stick. Due these two I'd recommend keeping C-stick set to smashes.

Ah, thanks man. Yea I just never used a B-Stick and I think I'm too used to C-Stick to switch anyways haha. And I'm in Mission Viejo.

Yea I use Djc aerials a lot so id have a hard time switching to B-Stick. I didnt really think it was necessary anyways.

Okay sweet. I've been looking for people near me that get together and play smash.

Just use control stick movements to do b-reverses, turnaround bs and wavebounces (turnaround b-reverse) manually.
