Smash 3DS Your Control Configurations

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I don't know if a thread like this has been made already, but how do you have your controls set up for Smash 3DS? I'll input mine first.

A: Jump
B: Attack
Y: Special
X: Shield
L: Jump
R: Grab

Tap Jump: OFF

Although I have the L button set to jump, I never use that button to jump at all. But because you're forced to have two buttons that make you jump, I just decided to make the second jump button be set to L, as I'm more comfy with using the R button to grab.

 

[Elixir Soup]

L = Grab (I was planning to change this to R like on Brawl but got so used to it in the demo so I never did)
R = Jump
A = attack
B = Special
X and Y= Jump
Tap Jump OFF (just turned this off today, it was impossible to up tilts without jumping otherwise)

 

[Deadshot]

default controls with y set to grab instead of jump, grab as a face button is way better IMO, hitting L feels awkward for me.

Tap jump off also.

You can't have three jump buttons. Which button do you have set for "Shield"?

 

[Elixir Soup]

Oh dang, I meant R = shield :/

 

[Semopo]

Tap jump off
A jump
B attack
Y special
X grab
R shield

 

[shogungari]

Grab = Y, tap off, the rest is the same.

 

[Dsull]

L = Grab, i never use it anyway
R = Shield (usually just shieldgrab when i grab people)
A = Normal Attack
Y = Special Attack
X/B = Jump

Dont know where i got this funky setup from where my normals and specials are split like that. I just kept defaulting to wanting to hit X to jump, A to normal hit and Y to special for some reason. Never ever changed smash controls before except to turn off tilt jumps. Finally said screw it and changed it to the above setup and i never had a button-mixup problem since.

 

[Darrman]

Default. Only change is tap jump off. So annoying when I go back to play Melee/S64...

 

[MetalHeroOfTime]

I play using the default control scheme with tap jump still on. I've always played with it on and I'm actually a bit shocked that so many play with it off.

 

[Raijinken]

L - Jump (Dead button, never use it, only Jump because you have to move the controls instead of just reassigning them)
R - Shield
A - Attack
B - Special
X - Jump
Y - Grab
Tap Jump - Off

 

[Donkeykong98123]

A: Jump
B: Attack
Y: Special
X: Jump
L: Shield
R: Grab

 

[Spirst]

Default controls with L and R switched and tap jump turned off. I much prefer the grab button on the right side like how the Z button is.

 

[Crocomire]

A = Jump
B = Attack
X = Special
Y = Grab
R = Shield
L = Broken

 

[MarioFireRed]

= Attack
= Special
= Jump
= Grab
= shield
(Placeholder due to unresponsiveness) = Jump 2

 

[Flareon]

A= Attack
B= Special
X= Jump
Y= Grab
L= Jump
R= Shield
Tap Jump- off

 

[Wyverian]

Tap Jump off
A: Normal's
B: Special's
Y: Jump
X: Shield
L: Jump
R: Grab
The ultimate handheld smash controls!!!!!!

 

[MatrixNexus]

Default controls with tap jump off.

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

default controls with y set to grab instead of jump, grab as a face button is way better IMO, hitting L feels awkward for me.

Tap jump off also.

This is exactly how I play as well

 

[Cornstalk]

While I experimented with L or R being a primary jump button, they were not comfortable to use and frustrating to short hop with.

Ultimately, I went back to Default with stick jumping turned off.

Though I do hold the system a little odd. My right index finger rests on the X button, giving me a dedicated jump finger.

 

[Roukiske]

A: Jump
B: Attack
Y: Special
X: Jump
L: Shield
R: Grab

Closest thing to GCN controls IMO. This with tap jump on

 

[Donkeykong98123]

Closest thing to GCN controls IMO. This with tap jump on

That's exactly why I made my controls like that(also forgot to include that I do have tap jump on).

 

[kylexv]

Only thing I changed:

Tap Jump: Off

 

[Ffamran]

Didn't we have a thread on this before? Whatever...

A: Grab
B: Jump
X: Attack
Y: Special
L: Shield
R: Jump which is never used because there are two Jumps for some stupid reason. Why can't we just freaking disable it or make it a dedicated screenshot button or something. Hell, make it a dedicated Final Smash button.
Tap Jump: Off

 

[Moydow]

Default with tap jump off. I've actually come to prefer R+A for grabs on 3DS.

 

[TerumiLOLZ]

A attack
B special
X jump
Y dodge
L grab
R jump (broken)
Tap jump off

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

For a while I was using the default controls with tap jump off, using R+A to grab. I eventually swapped L (which I now never use) with Y for much easier grabs and item tosses.
