How do you hold your GC controller when you SH?

[stoopdklutz]

Do you hold it normally, or do you put your right hand on top of the controller like your playing an arcade game?

I hold my GC controller normally. Just seems natural that way. However, I have a friend who Claws instead. It doesn't make TOO much difference, just go with whatever you find easiest.

Normal. X to shorthop, B-stick or manual aerial w/ A from there.

I don't know why you would need a special hand position to shorthop, especially in Brawl...

Hold it normally, and just slide my thumb across the Y-button.

That sounds kind of........awkward.

^ This, except with the X button.

Normally, but why would you hold your hand like that?
Wouldn't that be harder to SH with?

...normally and just "tap" the y button

 

[Thino]

normally , thumb does all the abxyc-stick work

Almost normal, but my thumb is more elevated and pointed downward - I find that helps for the quick tap, and with moving straight to the C-stick to perform DI'ed FAIR's. (Tap back immediately before starting an aerial, and you will DI backwards while doing it, lessening your chance of being shield-grabbed).
