I hate to admit this, but I prefer playing Project M with the Input Assist turned on so much more than playing it with the buffer off. Everything just feels so natural and I can L cancel, wave dash, etc. no problem at all and easily utilize them effectively in my play...
However, when I have the Input Assist turned off everything just feels so unwieldy and unnatural. I've been playing and practicing with the buffer off for a while, but as somebody who cut their teeth on Brawl and Sm4sh this is just so difficult to get used to. And now that I do have more of a feel for playing without the frame buffer, I'm not even sure I like how it feels in the first place!
Still, I am wanting to build our local Project M scene and I know that Input Assist is a no no for tournament play... Ugh. I just don't know what to do. My frustration peaked tonight when I got a 4 or 5 hit chain grab on a friend with the Input Assist, but when I turned it off, I couldn't even land a single one.
What should I do? Should I just bite the bullet and continue to be terrible (and hurt my hands) with input assist off? Or should I have fun and keep it on? What are your thoughts on Input Assist? Please be kind, I'm honestly trying to get better.
