The C-Stick is cheap if you use it for smashes

[Mario77]

A lot of people on these forums, mainly the newer people, have said that using the C-Stick for smash attacks is cheap. I know this has probably been disscussed years ago before, but I just want to let everyone know, mostly the new people, that the C-stick is NOT cheap at all. In fact it is NEEDED to do certain things like smashing forward while in the air and still move backwards.

Pressing A and the control stick forward takes as much skill as perssing the C-stick over, so how is using the C-stick cheap? It isn't.

...Really? I haven't heard anyone complain about the C-stick here yet. Where did you see this complaint?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is the C-stick better with Smashes or attacks, because I have an easier time using smashes with A...

 

[GoForkUrself]

Yeah, umm, no one says that here. We have posted that people that don't use Smashboards say that. I had someone tell me that a few weeks ago. I then said if he thought that it was cheap he should B-stick, and now he does that.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

People like to complain because they are losing to people who just rotate the cstick and do random smashes over and over. In other words, it's cheap because it's working on them, and chances are that they suck.

No one competent cares if you use the cstick. Use it as much as you want.

Well, if we use some of the arguments said in other games,

not using the C-stick would require more skill and increase competition...

But I use it anyway

 

[Edds]

i sometimes use it. i dont use it when i want to do a forward smash.

"It increases competition"? Never mind the vagueness, you're still wrong.

I'll argue against both possible ways you could've meant this:
* It will increase the number of people who enter tournaments - People don't enter tournaments because others use the C-stick? Then they're idiotic scrubs and who cares about those, anyway?
* Not using the C-stick will make the game more competitive - How does it become more competitive if you handicap yourself? You now have to do smashes manually, possibly mistiming them. You also can't do reverse aerials in the air with full momentum. Heck, you're giving up Double Stick DI:ing and enhanced Tap-DI:ing. But I guess it'll become more competitive because... um... cookies.

It was a joke because of another game, that's in development...

 

[really_calm]

I don't think people should complain about anything about brawl. Try your best to adapt to the god-****-VIDEO GAME. No...what's-his-name? Johns.

Except tripping, which is ******** until further notice.

Really? I hear it a lot.

"DON'T SPAM THE C-STICK!"

[Riolu]

I don't understand how it's cheap. You're tilting a stick instead of tilting another stick and pressing a button. What's so cheap about it?

 

[Dr Pepper]

I'm going to guess, because of your avatar, Starcraft 2 and the whole deal with multiple building selection?

 

[L ryusaki]

i really dont see why its cheap your just using the c stick to get the smash quicker its not like your the only one who can use the c stick

btw yuna youre not the law

 

[battousai555]

You can do a retreating f-smash whilst in the air? Video, please.

 

[SFJake]

Funny thing is, C-Stick is not even faster. The ONLY basic thing it can do and you can't do on the normal stick is attacking in one direction in the air while moving in another. Even so, using the control stick to do that wouldn't make such a big change if you are fast.

But if you keep to the basic, smashing is as fast with the normal stick. You only need to press A as well, and be sure you did a smash motion, but its really easy to get the hang of, and its doesn't make it slower or less accurate.

Someone whining about the C-Stick is whining for nothing.

 

[shadydentist]

The skill difference between hitting an thumbstick and hitting a thumbstick AND a button at the same time is negligible.

 

[Starscream]

Anyone that thinks the C-Stick is cheap is just a scrub that has set a mental block for themselves that is just going to limit how good they'll get at this game.

You would never hear anyone complaining about the c stick in a competative atmosphere.

Is the C-stick better with Smashes or attacks, because I have an easier time using smashes with A...

It's better for Smash attacks with no charge. I have a better time just using the control stick and a. For me, adjusting my thumb to the c stick is just a small waste of time.

Really? I hear it a lot.

"DON'T SPAM THE C-STICK!"
"STOP SPAMMING THE C-STICK!"

I hear it from scrawny 11 year olds (my brother's friends) that think they can take me. Most of them didn't know how to sidestep dodge. :******:

Wow, this sounds envious. WOW. When did Yuna ever presume to be anything other than an intelligent poster?

Anyway, the C-stick argument doesn't apply to me as I have controls set to B-STICK. Even then, I only use it for certain characters (T. Link mostly). If I were smart, I'd have a separate control scheme for stutter-stepping seeing as how I occasionally use "t3h kn33" Man, but I'm too lazy.

 

[smashbro29]

c-stick isn't cheap no one normal thinks so personally i don't use it i find it akward

 

[Mann]

How is it cheap when EVERY PLAYER can use it?

 

[SothE700k]

"Because its not how the game was meant to be played."

Yes. Quote that. Word for word i've heard that in my own ears.

 

[Steck]

I can't see why some consider it cheap. Sometimes you need quick smashes and you want to know 100% that you will get them right when you need them. What if your finger slips wile trying to get that fsmash but you get ftilit?You die as your opponent laughs and calls you a n00b.

Plus can you imagine a good Olimar with out quick smashes?

 

[D13]

A few of my friends complained that I use the c-stick. It's just an excuse they give when they lose, they have to blame it on something. But there's nothing wrong with the c-stick.

The c-stick is only good for quick smashes and B-Stick (I prefer).

 

[Ojanya]

Lol, smashing in the air.

 

[EternalCrusade]

I know people who thought c-sticking was cheap in melee, but I never understood that argument...

I never used the c-stick in melee (not because I thought it was unfair, obviously, I just never did) but now I use at all the time in brawl

 

[kevlar14]

ugh this is prolly one of the main reasons why i hate playing with my friends. they all think that C-Stick is cheap and noobish, and worst of all, they think they know when you're C-sticking (something about hearing a ping, then again, they have weird claims all the time), which they don't! sooo frustrating...

Wow, we have a winner!

Yeah, I just think the whole thing is funny


You visit Battle.net?

 

[LavisFiend]

You know what's cheap?

A button.

Don't use that or you are a noob.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

You know what's even cheaper? Picking up the controller. You're supposed to control your character with the force, Sakurai said so, you ****ing noob.

 

[LavisFiend]

You know what's even cheaper than that?

Selecting a character.

Everyone knows that you are only supposed to fight by not fighting at all.

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Yeah, the only true way to smash is to follow in the ways of Gandhi.

Your opponent will pummel you to high damage last stock, then suicide all his stocks before you die.

 

[LavisFiend]

Don't forget that if you take items off during this moment of the right way of play, that you go to smash hell where the only smashers are Bill Cosby, a turkey sandwich, and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle's son with down syndrome.

 

[Cookiez]

Lulz I havn't seen a post complaining about C-Stick usage on these boards forever.

 

[LavisFiend]

What do you call this then Cewks? =3

 

[Cookiez]

Ermm... well I guess you could call this a post PRAISING C-stick usage, et complaning about ch00bs and such?
