Tilting question...

[AlucarDraculA]

What are the best ways to tilt?....This is a pretty noobish question but I end up smashing or I fail to tilt quickly enough. I set the c-stick to tilting but it started doing some weird things like jumping so i changed that back.....Just practice?

Well, dont worry it being a noobish question. THATS why it says Smash n00b under ur name.

But becareful ppl have claimed that the Marth boards r cold.

I would suggest practice really. It does take a while to get used to. It is easier if you do not have tap jump on, but is worth the trade-off.(keep tap jump on)

I tilt by well tilting my control stick in the selected direction and pressing A, just practice.

Practice makes perfect.

There's a Q & A topic specifically for this type of stuff.

BUT Anyway...

Tilting can be nicely done by just moving the joystick in the desired direction first however you normally do it, give a small breather - then press A. But if you're very unnimble with your fingers you'll be jumping going up, running/dashing going forward, and crouching (which isn't .. bad..) if pressing downwards.

You just have to develop your hand coordination skills, it's as simple as that. It's a light tap instead of a push...

Tilting is pressing A while the stick is already in the direction you want to tilt, smashing is pressing A and pushing the joystick at the same time. Simple as that but requires training

Hmm. Thanks. I guess it's time to go back to training

Q&A, but anyways:
Think of the control stick like the gas pedal on your car. Sometimes you want to push it fast all the way, but if you want the nice, gradual speed (or in this case, if you want to tilt), you don't "rabbit start" the car, or it gets jerky. Smoothly "tilt" by pushing it gradually. If its really hard, start slowly, then as you get better, practice doing it faster. Same thing applies with the control stick. You don't want to slam it to one side, only the main part isn't the speed of the tilt as much as it is the magnitude of direction of the control stick in the given direction. As long as you tilt the stick about a 1/3 of the distance from its original position, you will tilt without jumping, dashing, etc.

and now, a message from your local advertising (jk):

What were they thinking?

 

[Pr0phetic]

Instead of pressing it all the way, lighlt nudge it in the given direction and press A.

Phil gave a nice analogy.

On a side note, I think you can UTilt/DTilt diagnally and you can FTilt out of a walk, so if your Marth walks don't worry you got the options.

Thanks thanks. I guess I just need more practice but Shaya's tip to stop for a fraction of a sec and wait to press A is pretty helpful. I was experimenting in training but even when I tilt it partially, I end up smashing :T

Now that this is done, mods close.

Just don't do this. Sure, you perform a tilt, but it's a slower. Practice doing it the hard way because it pays off. It won't take you but a week and you'll be doing it fine without the delayed pressing of A. You'll be faster and better off.

Also, doing the pause then A thing won't work with tap jump on. You'll just jump and never have the chance to do the up tilt. You can disable tap jump and do it, but then you can't UpB out of shield. Even if you don't do that now, you probably will and you'll have to relearn how to do tilts. Also, if you learn how to do it this way you won't need to buffer. As far as I know, buffering tilts (try jumping, holding down on the left stick and then hitting A when you land while still holding the down direction) isn't any faster than just performing a tilt; it's just easier.

TLDR; learn to do tilts correctly and it will help in the future.

Well what I do now is while my character is still executing it's attack before , I start to hold my tilt already so I can quickly perform my next tilt. This is probably a bad idea because there will be some cases where I won't want to tilt anymore but I'll learn quicker ways as I practice...As for Utilts, I'm getting used to doing it without jumping :O I've gotten too used to jumping with the control stick so I'll be pretty much screwed if I disable that. I've tried it but there have been too many times where I'm flying off the stage and I just fall to my death. I use Y/X only for SHFF..

Not sure what you're saying... but yeah... tap jump on = good.

 

[AlucarDraculA]

Sorry lol. Yeah that's good. I was agreeing with that :O
