X or Y to jump?

[DarKirby92]

I personally use Y cuz thats how i started to play, but maybe the position of the button in relation to the A button helps technique.
Even people I Smash closely with have variations in this.

Not sure if its a huge difference, but are there advantages to either/or?

Remember, I have a FAQ thread to ask this in...

There are no differences to buttons...although you can jump with the control stick, it is not suggested (harder to sort-hop).

I use Y, since the way I trained to short-hop (long story) had my thumb reflexes to reach up. I use X to wavedash (in SSBM, of course).

 

[Jamie0003]

I have always played using the control stick to jump.

 

[Masterplum]

i use x and recently tried with L. Not really sure why though...

 

[Kiwikomix]

I don't think it's really an essential thing for Kirby... at least, I haven't changed my controls yet. Many characters need custom tweaking, however... my Yoshi has L set to jump and tap jump off, for various reasons that enhance his playstyle. Just fiddle around and find something that works better for you.

I use Y because it kinda has a similar place on both the N64 controller and the gamecube. In N64, it was all 4 C buttons that made you jump and I always used the top one. Probably because it was easy to reach the attack buttons.

 

[kenja0]

I use Y because Y is above A and I think up = jump in relation to that.
Also, it's easier for me to slide Y to A so I can do aerial spams/short hops.
And it's much safer to use than C-stick in my game.
My C-stick is becoming unreliable because something is funky with my wavebird.

There's really no difference I personally dont know if I use x or y i just press one of them.

 

[Metal_Dave]

Y is the way to go.

 

[Colbert]

I use X, idk Y.

c wut I did thur?

 

[mysticwolf]

i use Y, mainly for the same reason as kenja0

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

I use the X button, I just need it to press A quickly then press X.

 

[Ippius]

Y. It's easier to shorthop I guess.

 

[aflyinglamppost]

umm.. i usually use the wii remote, but y with the gmaecube controller.

 

[Red.Tide]

I use Z to jump, and X to grab. It makes more sense, because the thumb doesn't have to move as much (you often have to jump and attack at the same time, but rarely grab and attack)

 

[znintendotaku]

Y because its closer to B

 

[jtowns]

I use X as throw and Y to jump. I like to SH easier that way.

woah SOMEONE acctually uses the wiimote!?!
with or without nunchuk?
are you any good?

 

[Sad Panda323]

I'll use the control stick, except when I'm SHing, then I'll use Y.

 

[L-ectrico]

On the Gamecube Controller: Y
On The Classic Controller: X
IDK y

 

[star214wolf]

From over 8 years of me playing ssb, i've always used control stick, too used to it to change, even if it would be easier.
