What Do You Use To Jump?

[orange/xd]

Been usin' Y since Melee.

 

[uhmuzing]

I'm trying to use the Y button more and the control stick less.

 

[arch knight]

i use wiimote only so Up is jump for me :D

 

[uhmuzing]

i use wiimote only so Up is jump for me :D

I'd never be able to use the WiiMote.

 

[mountain_tiger]

The C button on the Wiichuck combo. Tap jump off because it annoys me.

 

[TVTMaster]

I normally use Tap Jump to jump, but when I'm trying to get off an aerial on a smaller opponent I'll give the X button a workout. I mean, I know using XY to jump is superior given the increased ability to SH, but I like to be able to make sure my fingers are ready to go with an aerial or special without worrying about my thumb. I can hold my thumb on A and B at once, and can't react as fast when moving it around.

Personally, I think the next Smash Bros game should enable SH on the tap jump to make things easier for new players to adapt. Sticking tilts on the C-stick and making smashes A+direction only unless manually swapped is a good way to go, and perhaps they could slightly retool smash animations to allow for a choice between instants and charges with the button combo.

For example, the game could kind of freeze time for just the microsecond needed to determine whether the player is letting out the move or holding the charge. That way, smashes could be kept to analog combos, tilts could fit on the C-stick, and Tap Jump could be used competitively while keeping smash functionality intact.

I use the Y button.

EDIT:TVTMaster, hasn't Nintendo catered to new players enough already >_< Look what they did to the physics in Brawl....

 

[GTA_Hater_331]

I use the Y and X buttons.

Those were the most basic jumping buttons in Melee, and I kept the same control scheme in Brawl. I often jump high, very rarely short-hopping.

 

[Adler]

I use ZL on the classic controller. It's easier to reach, although I find it difficult to short hop and I'm thinking of changing it.

 

[Chuz]

I use the control stick for auto L-canceling aerials but other than that I use X.

 

[Gygados]

Always X when doing shorthops in attacks, such as zair, aerials etc. I usually use the normal tap jump to get around. It really just depends on the situation.

 

[daisho]

Well I can't play with tap jump on.

I normally use X for short hops and i think i might use Y sometimes, not sure.

Now I changed R to grab and use Z for short hopping double bairs since its impossible to do if you have to use your thumb to jump and hit the C stick twice.

 

[ChAlz]

I use Y to jump.

I used to use the control stick, but it made it harder for me to do U-tilts.

 

[Hydra.]

I just resently changed my controls so now I jump with A and L .

 

[M-WUZ-H3R3]

I jump with my legs....

Why do you ask?

 

[noahbaby94]

Why do you ask?

Epic win..

 

[Avalancer]

I use Y. And nothing else.

 

[KirbyIRL]

I jump with my legs....

Why do you ask?

This.

But I use tap jump as well. I've tried not using tap jump, and failed multiple times. So I just stick with it, and use X occasionally for n-air combos =D.

 

[GALE 14]

y-jump
x-grab
i think it's the best

 

[tocador]

I was the one going to make that joke, dam you ,you joke stealer.

 

[Firestormzero0]

x is jump
y is grab
tap jump off

 

[day-day]

I did use to play with the tap jump on but then realized I couldn't pull off my u-tilt's so I turned it off. Only way to go on the wiichuck is with the c-button if you want to jump imo.

 

[JUDGE]

I use Y only. I've turned off tap jump cos sometimes it's wasted a jump unecessarily which has cost me a stock a few times. X is just awkward, the positioning I just can't use it.

hahahaha^^ that is exactly what i do^^

 

[Norm]

I use the button I have the tap jump off as it messes up the up smash/tilt some times.

 

[UncleSam]

Y and up on the taunt pad... don't ask
tap jump off

 

[BadAxel97]

I use control stick up or x (mainly for short jumps.)

 

[GGrandhustle305]

x is jump
y is grab
tap jump off

exactly what he said.

But it's strange cause most of my friends and cousins use y to jump. I'm like the only one to use x

 

[kciD]

Classic:

Tap jump off
X - jump
Y - grab (though I'll set L to grab and use it sometimes)

GCC:

Tap jump off
Y - jump
X - grab (though I usually set L to grab and use it or Z)

One of the first huge excitements I had about Brawl was learning that I can turn tap jump off. I absolutely HATED that crap in Melee...I was always using extra jumps by accident when doing Uairs. Seems like I use X jump on the classic because it's closer to A, and I use Y jump on the GCC because it's closer to A and B.

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Tap Jump is off for me. It has caused me to die about once or twice.

I use Y or X to jump. I find it much easier considering I use a Classic, but I really need a Gamecube controller.

 

[†Slader7†]

lol, is there no luv for the tap jump?
oh well, I use the y button to jump, no tap jump

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

Y and Y only, in both melee and brawl. Grab goes to X and Tap jump goes off, never to be heard from again!

 

[Hydra.]

Y and up on the taunt pad... don't ask
tap jump off

This is the weirdest one yet...
I don't get it...

 

[Agile_]

I jump with both the y and up on the Joy-stick.

 

[Hive Mind]

Tap jump off and R.

 

[JUDGE]

i think the most off us use y to jump and tap jump off/don't use tap jump

 

[Don Kirby]

Controlstick to jump....
.............................................

Y and up on the joy stick works best for me.
