Do you use the default button layout?

I have no need to change it; the default config is good enough for me.

However, is there a better config out there?

I turn tap jump off and that´s it. I feel uncomfortable using anything else.

I change the C-Stick from Smash to Tilt and I probably will turn off the autojump, too.

No tap jump, and X as shield.

It's useful for shieldgrabbing, although I still use R way more out of habit. :/

I use the default. I find SHing with the control stick easy to use

I find it's easier to grab with X. I also have tap jump off. For Pikachu I use B-sticking for QACing.

Usually I use tap jump off, but lately I'm not sure. On one hand, Utilts and DACUS are a lot easier with tap jump off. On the other hand, you can Up+B or Usmash out of shield with tap jump on. I could do both depending on the character but it'll be weird getting used to both.

I havnt changed a thing, however its annoying if you accidently do a tap jump instead of a Usmash/Utilt, so I maybe will turn that off someday, Im not sure.

Am I the only one who jumps with X? By that I mean on the GC controller.

I have a friend who jumps with x but i just think its too linear a control pattern (B - A - X)
I think Y is much easier to jump with, not sure why, guess everyone has their own stlye.
I like tap jump off cos i hardly ever use cstick for upair out of habit, plus, i dont wanna make any mistake with olimar's second jump or ur dead lol

Tap jump off, right trigger into attack.

It helps with DACUS and luckily enough makes that crazy spin walk thing easier to do into a ftilt.

Heh yeah, somehow Ive always found it way easier (always jumped with X in Melee) so I guess Im just used to it. xD I found it easier to accidently press the A button if ye use the Y button to jump, but thats just me.

Anyway I think I should go turn tap jump off too just for the sake of it. :laugh:

I turn tap jump off, set grabs to Y, attack to z, jump to L, and I use the T-Stick setup.

Tap Jump Off
X as Grab
L as Attack

DACUS is easier for me and plus that new spinning movement thing becomes easy as well. X as Grab for Samus' Zair

Yep- the only time I took tap jump off was for the first level with Link and Yoshi in SSE, because it was a pain to climb the ladders. I don't use tap jump, but I got used to it being on.

I also tried shake smash once for the lulz.

How is it to use shake smash actually? I belive it would be like.. an extreme pain.

That describes shake smash :laugh:.

It isn't accurate, and can be too sensitive at times. You could only do a side smash reliably, and I'm not sure if you could charge it.
It feels lie it was shoved in at the last minute, but it could have been a decent alternative to the c-stick if they actually made sure when you moved it down you wouldn't smash to the side.
I wouldn't try it.

I use the default scheme for every character : /

I don't wanna get lazy for when I play Melee and I don't have the luxury of turning off tap jump.
