remapping gc controller

[psyNess]

I am considering remapping my controls for ness and since I will basically have to go through another learning curve on controls, was wondering if anyone has anything to add/different that makes maneuvering with ness easier.

L - shield
R - grab
Z - jump

A - attack
B - special
X - jump
Y - shield

c-stick - attack

d.pad - taunts

analog stick - analog stick

tap jump - off

Z as a jump to free my thumb from X so it can go to C-stick. then C-stick frees my analog stick for DI. I know its doable without but why make it harder on myself -_-
also lets me do jump(Z) + specials(B) with different fingers.

Y for a nicer button for perfect shields, also easy access to A.
R is just there, I don't use R in brawl. So I put grab there just so "it has a place"...

thx for any input you guys can add ^^

Mine is

C-stick: Special for b-sticking and auto RAR

Z: Attack for a quicker auto RAR. Going from the C-stick to the A button is too much for my poor thumb. Also, I used Z to DJC in Melee, so I am accustomed to it being an attack. But in brawl, Z in the air bby default makes you dodge, not attack, so I had to change it.

Y: Grab cuz I needed to put grab somewhere other than Z and it had to be a button that substitutes for another one (y'know, Y = X) thats easy to access and is fast. I tried R, but it wasnt quick enough.

I keep tap jump on because thats the only way to usmsash out of the shield without having to release shield first. Its much quicker. And dont even mention pressing X or Y before the smash, thats just plain rediculous.

Yeah, but that makes Uair that much harder. surely there are other things you can do out of a shield.
I don't have any problem with A auto-RAR.
Is there any setting that will make an Attack in midair like Melee? I like my Zgrab and want to multitask.

 

[Earthbound360]

Well, uair near the ground is no longer a problem for me since Ness' usmash seems to replace it. IMO, a shuffled or DJCed uair in Mele was like his pseudo usmash, but now since the yo-yo has such lovely knockback and range, with a priority bonus and decent speed, I find uairing near the ground not as crucial to Ness' game.

And well... if u can deal with A and auto RAR, thats great for you, but I need Z.

Unfortunately, if Z is set to grab, it airdodges in this game. In melee, grabbing in the air lead to an attack, but now, the "shield" function outprioritizes the attack part of the grab

lol

My control scheme is the same, except the Y button is shield, or maybe it's X, I dunno. I occasionally B-stick.

 

[OnYourMark]

I was totally frustrated that they made Z a dodge in the air.

Z - attack
X - grab
I had to switch Z to attack (so now, I have to grab with the X button).

And is there any way to switch the way a button acts in the air? (Instead of both in the air and on the ground.)

 

[Earthbound360]

^^^
U and I think alike, but sadly, the answer 2 ur question is no

 

[psyNess]

Hmm,

I thought I read somewhere everything is doable OOS now?
If not I guess its Z+C-stick or nothing in my controls since I really hate tap jump when I just want to u-tilt/u-air/ up-b ::lack of finger dexterity::

Also what do you B-stick for ness?

=====ON topic=====

Well thx to Earthbounder360, I realized an oversight on my part 'thumb going from C-stick to A'.
I guess I will make 'R' attack for those things that just can't wait for my thumb to move back to A and vice versa.

Now, I am missing a grab button but I am pretty sure I can get away with Y+A unless you guys tell me theres extra lag just because the way it is~

Thx all.
Everyone seems to like Z as attack; guess it is to be expected transition from melee.

Please feel free to add anything else, even if its brainstorming ideas and completely funky settings. It might open other ideas.

===My current change choices===

R = attack
Y = shield
Z = jump

 

[Earthbound360]

Well, like I said, Needing utilts and uairs are no longer crucial due to the major buff the yo-yo recieved.
Up+B should be no problem though since the window of pressing B before you jump seems larger now than in Melee. Also, I hardly see any drawback in jumping before PKTing.

I B-stick PK Fire a lot, especially off the edge. In a basic on stage match, its not as useful as Lucas', but you can double jump forward and b-stick back. This gives you nice range for a dash attack.

On the edge though, its better to b-stick. You edge jump (just a basic jump) and hold forward as you get off. Then, B-stick back. You should launch PK Fire down at the stage getting edgeguarders away and putting you back on the edge allowing you to repeat if you missed or make a safe recovery.

If I were to change my controller configuration the only thing I would probably change is make the x button shield.
