i used to play b-stick with my toon link, but the thing is the c-stick is invaluable for quick smashes and for aerials, not to mention the fact that auto-rar is unnecessary. It worked alright for campy projectile play, though.

I found that b-stick only worked with my TL, so if i played GW or MK, i wouldnt Bstick

Yeah, the Cons pretty much out weigh the Pros, and it is really only useful for a few characters.

It's really useful for Ness and Lucas ATs, so if you don't main either of those two, I'm not sure how useful it can be. Ness really benefits from it for PK Jumping, Firebounding, and etc.

I think it has it's applications. It's a great spacing tool and I use it with ZSS sometimes. Although I have to agree that I prefer C-sticking much more than B-Sticking probably because I'm more use to it. But I wouldn't write B-sticking as completely useless yet.

Very applicable with certain characters. I find it silly to change your whole controller map just do it, especially since it is VERY doable with the default controller settings. For instance, with ROB, wavebouncing to gyro canceling and then a bair is great for mind games against characters like DDD. Its not gamebreaking but its good.

Honestly I don't really like it. Didn't really add much to my Ness.

I use it with Mario sometimes, Mr. All-around even has a pretty nice wavebounce with his cape. It's cool and useful but I feel a lot slower with my smashes.

I don't use my C-Stick at all, I find I can input commands just as fast as I can with the C-stick so it doesn't really matter to me.

Not at Kinko's straight flippin' copies
it's very useful for lucario and i incorporate it into my gameplay all the time, i use it mostly for mindgames with lucario

it's also useful for ZSS, it helps create spacing with her side-b

i personally think this technique is very useful for the characters i choose to main but it deffinately varies on usefulness from character to character
