quickdraw and c-stick

[zaf]

I have changed my c-stick to the "special", since it allows for me to RAR much much faster/easier and i can also do the "wave bouncing/b-sticking" ( short hop and taping the c-stick in the opposite direction of your opponent, so that you use your special and bounce yourself backwards). I sometime use the "wave bouncing/b-sticking" when i use toon link, when my opponent is on the attack a lot, to keep them spaced. The boomerang works fine, but i want to use the bow too so i can quickdraw and recover better. So here is the main question, how can i get the bow to work when i use the c-stick. Pushing it to the right or left uses the boomerang, up is his spinning attack and down on the stick is the bombs.

You have to do a VERY slight diagonal nudge, that's practically impossible to do in a battle unless you have rediculously controlled thumbs; in which case you'd probably be better off training to become a surgeon.

I've heard there's a way to do retreating specials (b-sticking) without the b-stick. Check out the C-Stick compendium, I think that's where I read it.

Also, I'd probably advice you to keep the C-stick set to smash as it's much easier to get out a smash and very useful for a good ol' b-air raping.

i think i like how c-stick is special because i like being able to RAR very easily, i use it to b-air, and i can connect a lot of combos like this. Is there an easier way to RAR with toon link?

c-stick compendium.. is it on this site?
also i know this isnt suppose to be in the toon link section but i have replays of toon link on my computer, what can i use to view/watch them? they are older so i dont know if i want to put them on youtube yet.

thanks everyone =]

While using the b-stick, you also lose the ability to move around and attack in the air at the same time, which is essential for TL. I'd rethink b-sticking and just learn to do it the old fashion way. :)

Heaven forbid you actually use your A button and control stick.... The reason I reset my B-stick was because I found doing charged Usmashes out of a dash much more useful than pulling bombs out without fast falling. Also, an instant RAR isn't worth it either, considering you need some dash room to do it without throwing a boomerang, and that RARing itself isn't very difficult at all with some practice.

is the best way to self RAR just run and press back on the control stick and jump at the same time?

That just makes you jump back. To RAR, you have to pivot, so you're running, tapping the control sticking in the other direction, pause for like a split second, then jump forward in the direction you were running.

thanks umby ill go and try it out now and tell how i did

Hit the C-stick diagonally, it's not easy so I recommend just using normal B or setting R or L to special also so that you can use that for the bow if you have B changed to something else. Come to think of it you can even set special to Z as well and just shield grab instead of pressing Z.

Hmm... I've allways been able to RAR pretty easily without much effort...
I'd be afraid to switch it to C xD I need that for smash's (Even though they're easy as heck to pull off with A, I just feel more comfortable)
