What do you use your c-stick for?

Tilts or smashes?

Setting c-stick to 'attack' allows you to use it in the air without affecting your mobility, and you can buffer a tilt out of a perfect pivot.

Setting it to 'smash' allows, well, quick smashes, especially out of perfect pivots which- if PPing is actually a useful technique- is most useful on Luigi due to his long slide.

I can't see much use for B-sticking with Weegee. It certainly doesn't help with Tornado recoveries.

I'm just trying to work c-sticking into my Smash 4 play and would appreciate input.

In Brawl anyway, I used it for Smashes. Seeing that U-smash and F-smash are his kill moves, setting it to 'Smashes' is more helpful. I play with Tap jump on, but with practice I can do tilts consistently without it being read as a jump or a smash attack.

Don't have the WiiU version, but I can still safely say that using it for smashes is a better idea, as I sometimes have trouble landing the kill move at the opportune moment in the 3DS version.

I use it for Smashes. Dashing into an up smash is a bit harder in this game for me for whatever reason. The C-Stick enables me to use this maneuver more efficiently, especially when Luigi can slide and do a sort of surprise attack.

I would also use the C-Stick for aerials at times, such as retreating fairs.

I set it so Smashes, mainly for the purpose of dashing into an up smash, but other than that I barely touch it, since I'm used to playing on a 3ds.
