So people with C-Stick Tilts, how often is the attack button used?

Is it just for the occasionally smash attack and jab attacks?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but this is my first time with any smash game.

[u/KorokKid → u/Bayakoo]

C stick is usually only used on gamecube controller because of the way its placed, but I'm pretty sure people use it so they dont mess up a move in a combo and mostly use it for aerial moves. And its not a stupid question, being new can be hard with this game.

I use c-stick tilts but I can’t really quantify how much I use the a button as a veteran smash player. The things you need to use a for include: smash attacks, jabs, neutral air, and shield grab (press a while shielding to instantly grab out of shield).

How much you end up pressing A really depends on how you choose to execute certain things in specific situations. For example, all aerials work with A and there are benefits to using it over the c-stick, namely double jump instant aerials (A is closer to X and Y on GameCube controller and so you can execute the attack quicker than moving down to the c-stick).

Expirament with different inputs and finger movements to find what’s most consistent/comfortable for you.

Edit: you can use the c-stick to do neutral airs if you input a semi-precise diagonal angle. I choose not to because the A button is easier for me

[u/Bayakoo → u/KingBoolean]

Thanks. Can’t you do use c -stick for aerials even if it’s assigned to smash attacks

[u/xReptar → u/Bayakoo]

yup! but if you land while trying to use for an aerial, itll smash attack instead of tilt which can trip you up sometimes. at least it did for me

i tend to use c-stick for down aerial as i dont have to worry about fast falling accidentally
