6-4 Matchup 16: "Here's My Sunday Best!!!!"

[Coffeeblack]

I jump with X. But I bet I'm the only one who wavedashes/shields/cancels with the R button

pretty sure cyan uses r for everything

 

[Summonedfist]

i strongly disagree that spacies are better off jumping with x over y. of course, it depends how you hold the controller. i know ryan sorta tilts his grip with his right hand (afaik but i haven't seen him in a while)

if you hold the gc controller on a neutral position (the position you'd intiially hold it), going from y --> a/b for a SH aerial or shine, requires you to shift your thumb downward. if you instead jump with x, you can slide your thumb with a simple flick of the thumb joint or you could support it with your wrist. it just seems 110% more ergonomic and significantly less muscle flexion.

james uses L for everything iirc. it blows my mind.

-_- How does 3 characters become all of them lmao

b/c you mm everyone with everyone. if you had tech skill with all of those chars maybe you'd win some moolah lol. and i'll leave it at that >_>

 

[weon - X]

i use L for everything too !!!

My buddy uses the r button for all that stuff

I did win so money I was +4$ :D lmfao.

Moving on


I use L for everything too, the only time I touch my R button is sometimes before matches I mash buttons out of excitement/boredom

I say that Y is better than X because whenever you do shine to jump you have to slide over the A button (potential for flubbed input thus increases). The buttons are also further apart (demanding more speed).

FWIW I use X for everything but I think the proximity of the buttons plus no A button in the way makes Y a pretty clearly better choice.

 

[weon - X]

I tried switching to Y once.... I couldn't do it. It feels so strange for me.

hmm. when you shine --> jump via b --> x, even if you pressed A, it wouldn't do anything since A does nothing while in shine before the jump cancelled happened. i see what you mean, but you'd have to press up on the control stick before misinputs happen i think. i personally find the sliding-over-A easier than bringing my thumb up to the Y =\

as for distance, i still think it's easier to flick your thumb joint/wrist than it is to bring your thumb downward lol. i use R for WD so i can't adjust my grip too much

 

[weon - X]

all u thumb bending ******s can go eat a ****

david should eat a vagina tho

 

[Cyan_]

yeah, except L to wavedash oos (while holding R for shield). it was a **** to learn

also, anyone else use X to shorthop and Y to wavedash?

 

[unknown522]

Y + L all day son

 

[Summonedfist]

i tried learning to WD oos with two different triggers but it was so dumb lol i just ended up wd oos with R while holding R to shield xD

 

[Coffeeblack]

This. And R to ledge/stage tech when you think your L would miss

 

[unknown522]

Ryan Ford does not use R

 

[Engo]

Man using x seems so weird. It's feels like it's miles away from the b button.

Thats exactly what I do, using two triggers just seems so confusing

 

[Mprime]

something like that for characters

11 out of 16 people were either fox or falco in bracket.

Also it was Carl's first time at these monthlies and he won amateur bracket

Wait what? Is carl completely new to the scene in general? This guy did that fancy sdi stage tech every single time i threw a down air at him as he was firefoxing onto the stage/ledge. Ontop of that hes really good at reading his opponents for a new commer.
