Question about jump input

[Mobi.]

Hey guys, I'm new to the smash community. I am trying to main fox and I was wondering what is the most optimal button for jumping. I've used X all my life for jumping and can do short hops consistently with fox with x. I know y is closer to b and allows you to do things like multi shines, but i feel like no one really does that besides hax / silentwolf. Is it really that big of a deal to use X as jump for fox? I guess another disadvantage would be jump canceling shines would be a problem cause b to x is really far. You could jump cancel using the stick but that doesnt let you short hop (or at least I can't do it). Does this really matter? Are there combos where you would have to jc short hop to follow up on an opponent?

Thanks

Y is probably the better pick, but if you're very comfortable with X, I don't think the switch is worth it. You can do all the tech stuff you'd need with X, even though it's super far from B haha.

I find X more comfortable. I think multishines and SHDLs are more about preference tbh.

I wavedash with X but do jump and double shines with Y
