where do you put your right thumb?

[fadedfyter]

I normally have my right thumb hovering (but not touching) just slightly over the Y and A buttons and when I SH or do aerials, I quickly tap the tip of my left thumb on the Y or A buttons. However, I've been experimenting with resting (touching) my thumb on top of the Y and A buttons and pressing the A button with my first knuckle (the one closest to your fingernail) and SHing with the flat part of my thumb just right above the first knuckle. What do you prefer?

I'm pretty much always using my right thumb..

 

[fadedfyter]

Yes but which part

 

[Superstar]

I always have my right thumb directly on the A button. When I jump, I hit the left side of the X button.

 

[cemo]

Weird question.

Anyways, my thumb is usually on X for wavedashing ease.

I don't really think about that...I actually grabbed my controller to see

By right thumb is always on the right side of the controller, in general. That's the best way to explain it. It's never in one place because I am constantly using it to c-stick, jump and do all of my moves.

mines usually in between the A and X button, so i can press either one when needed

on the buttons.

 

[mario-man]

Wherever it is needed at the specific time!!!

 

[tarheeljks]

my default position is w/my thumb over y, but to be honest i doubt it really makes much of a difference.

 

[Problem2]

My thumb is always hovering towards whatever I'm thinking of doing. I'm always thinking of somethin, so it's never in a general place on the controller.

 

[Volrec]

On the A, X, Y, B, R and C-Stick.

 

[darth _marth]

my thumb is always slightly over the A button

 

[Wilhelmsan]

my right thumb forms an electron cloud on three button energy levels called B, X and A

Between the A and X

 

[cradmazy_SKAG]

its always between A and B haha.. i suppose thats different.

TWO kinds of thumb movements ive nodiced

Precision thumb - always uses the tip of the thumb for every button

Lazy thumb - uses bottom part OR fingerprint to push buttons, lazy because thumb does not have to move as far

i am lazy thumb for life

in that case, i have a precision thumb, never lazy.

 

[Seanson]

i keep my thumb down on a and y, so it's less of a movement to push either or both

 

[Kalmetam]

I don't use X and Y so they are usually over A and B.

 

[LHG]

99/100 times It's hovering over the space between the X and A button for SHFFL and normal attackage.

 

[fadedfyter]

I've noticed that a lot of people use the X button for jumping.... interesting. I've always used Y and found it difficult to SH double fair w/ marth. I might give X a try.
