"Fire up or down!"

Seems to me that the Up button is going to be used for other things...
Will we see a lone, dedicated Jump button?

I sincerely doubt that. Pressing a button is too hard to do afterall, and sakurai wants to go easier on the button pressing this time

*sarcastic eye roll*

Seriously though, I think up will still jump. Just not when you have a cracker launcher maybe.

I wouldn't mind if it was changed. I think the heaviest users for using up to jump is usually just Fox and Falco exiting their shine. Though there are also people who just use the jump button even in those cases. If it means bringing more flexibility to items and perhaps other functions, then it's welcome in my mind.

I don't know if it would help for me or not if so.

I always used the button.. I just don't like using the analog stick for that much things. Don't think me left hand can take it :D

I always use the button to jump, as at least 80 percent of my jumps are shorthops.

The only time I use the control stick to jump is for fox's upair. I have no idea why, but I have trouble c-sticking that one.

When I shffl an uair with fox though I use the c-stick.

/random info no one cares about

If up doesnt jump, that just makes control stick shuairs easier for newbies, and uptilts will come out faster than ever before.

But I dont think this will happen.

Doubt it.

If they got rid of up to jump, they'd have to get rid of down to crouch.

Way I see it, you hold the shooting button down and it will start charging, then you can aim it up or down.

in the 15 second gameplay vid, the cracker launcher is seen being fired rapidly





Come on people, this is like saying because we have uptilts there wont be up to jump. it's just silly.

You most likely won't be able to jump while the rapid-fire is in action, only aim with up and down. I personally don't think that up to jump will be removed even though i never use it.

I highly doubt it'll be removed. You won't be able to use Up for jumping when holding weapons. Sure, there's a better alternative, but they'll just keep it just in case.

Same here, I always use the button.
I've never even thought about using the stick for jumps.

In Smash, you have to press a certain direction fast as in a smash attack, same with jumping.

Just press up quickly, give it a try in SSB64 and Melee, you wont jump if you press up slowly.
Im pretty sure it wont be removed in Brawl

Man, people don't think. Go read the Cracker Launcher update right now, it basically says it's heavy as hell. You can't jump with heavy items unless you're DK. Up will still be jump, but if you're holding the Cracher Launcher, it'll aim up since you can't jump anyways. I don't know what'll happen to DK when though. Maybe you'll just have to tilt it with DK, but be careless with everyone else.

I'm pretty sure Up Analog is still "Jump" . The cracker launcher is probably to heavy to jump/move with, which is why UP and DOWN aims it.
