TalkBack / Re: BLAH BLAH BLAH: C-Stick Smashes in Smash Bros.: 'Cheap' or Not?
« on: March 15, 2008, 04:56:51 PM »
I kinda think tap jumps are a pretty good comparison actually. Just as Mike mentioned feeling rewarded for figuring out how to do smash attacks the 'right way', I felt pretty good about learning how to do the up-tilts the old way in Melee. It also allows you to do a quicker Up Air attack with good timing. Just another nuance of the analog controls. Though maybe a little harder to do than a smash, it still seems the same for the sake of this argument.
I'd also point to the grab button on Smash 64. If I remember right it's always just been a combination Z+A buttons mapped to one easier button, similar to the c-stick. And just like c-stick most long time players probably use both methods of control to their advantage when the situation is right.
Guess what I'm saying is I kind of agree with both sides of that LONG conversation. There is a lot of fun in doing smash attacks the old way and it was one of the better uses of analog control I've seen in a fighter. Yet I personally see no problem using any control option you're given to your advantage. Especially now that normal smashes can cause tripping...
