PM Controller Configuration

[Sorry:(]

I was searching for a thread on this and could not find one. Also, does PM already have this? I haven't played it much.

Idea: Optional short-hop button and c-stick tilt attacks. Opinions?

I appreciate how the classic controller configurations from Melee make it a really hardcore game to master, and that has never steered me away. However, sometimes I think maybe more people would play if they could choose configurations that made advanced techniques a little easier. Personally I think the SHFFL would be easier with a short-hop button and for the longest time tilts were mostly done by accident for me.

Would it be possible to add controller configuration to Project M? Maybe to map X and Y, one as jump and the other as short-hop. Also I would prefer on the ground to have the c-stick do tilts instead of smashes (i love it for aerials though).

You can change the C-stick to do tilts in the controller settings ingame.

Only forward tilts, though. Up and down are still smash, even if you set it to Attack.

 

[Sorry:(]

I guess up and down tilts are easy enough if you hold up or down as you land, they are hard if you start on the ground though. I like to see all tilts c-stick executable.

Also please share your thoughts on a short-hop button.

My thoughts on a short-hop button are a resounding "meh."

Takes away the learning curve, or rather, muscle memory from learning the timing for a short hop. Sounds counter-productive.

One of the reasons why I normally don't touch other fighting games in favor of smash is that you don't have to jump through hoops to use attacks. Even though I probably wouldn't use the short-hop button much, I'd love to see an available tilt option on the C-Stick. I'll support almost anything that makes the controls more accessible.

Shorthopping existed even in the old Super Mario Bros, it´s an easy technique to learn. Tilting however requires a bit more practice, but I´m actually fine the way they are. As long as you play the game, you get used to doing these things in time.

Shorthopping was decided after you entered the air in SMB, though. There were no jumpstart frames, and there were more then 2 heights.

I wonder why Sakurai made it that way? It doesn't seem like his style to take an easy, familiar thing and make it more difficult and obscure.

Scew a shorthop button, give me a fullhop button that I can press for the length of a shorthop and still do a fullhop.

A shorthop button is an awesome idea. I wouldn't have to worry about holding the button down too long, it's one of my biggest issues.

Scew a shorthop button, give me a fullhop button that I can press for the length of a shorthop and still do a fullhop.

This gave me an idea, do both.
