X vs Y to jump

[mountain_tiger]

I can't be the only person on all of Smashboards to use the Wiichuck combo, surely?

I'm afraid you may be.

Well I use good ol' X to jump and Y to grab with the tap jump off.

 

[Commander_Beef]

Oh hey Tophes lol.
I'd say using X is most appropriate for every situation but I think that using Y could lead to faster aerial input because the bottom of your thumb can reach A with still pressing Y at the same time.

 

[manhunter098]

Y is my jump, I set x to shield since I felt that keeping it as jump would be completely useless, but alas I do not even use x to shield. So really I just dont use the x button at all.

 

[TMRaven]

I use X to jump. Swiftly moving my thumb from x to left on c-stick helps a lot in pulling out super fast short-hopped bairs/rars with characters like kirby or game and watch.

Only time I use y is for lag canceling my ganondorf's short-hopped dair.

 

[Rogond09]

Call me a n00b, but I still use Up on the Control Stick to jump. I just feel like it gives me better control over my air game, especially because I make use of the C Stick.

 

[Cattle]

I use Y because I am clawing half the time.

 

[Hive Mind]

I keep them both jump while aiming for X.
Sometimes I miss it and hit Y instead, so I keep Y to jump to cover for me.

And Rogond that's cool but I wouldn't do it because I can't utilt as easy.

 

[smashkng]

I use X to jump.

 

[A17]

I leave Y alone, X to grab, R to jump. seriously, my right index does nothing if I didn't set it to this.

 

[Terra~]

Classic controller~
X when using A to attack
Y when usinb B to attack

It's perfect like that, your thumb and the controller have this sort of synergy...it's wonderous

When I get my GC-to-PS Controller Adaptor, I'm going to try to make a setup where:
X = jump
Square = Attack
Triangle = Special
O = Grab.

It'll be like God of war :D

 

[Merce]

Uh, I use x to grab and y to jump because x reminds me of horizontal motion while y reminds me of vertical... anyone else that geeky? ...Anyone?

 

[IxxI]

In Melee, I broke my Y button and resorted to using X. I'm used to using X in Brawl.

 

[pizzapie7]

X and/or tap jump.

 

['V']

I use X to jump. My Y button just sits there and never does anything. I'm pretty sure that'll be the last button to break on my controller.

 

[Spelt]

I use tap jump, and R for certain characters.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

I use Y to grab, and Tap Jump/X for jumping. I have a really strange way of holding my controller, I don't use my Z or R buttons.

 

[★Malik★™]

i use Y, since its "up" from my thumb. i said X in my first post but i realized i use Y.

 

[Smash G 0 D]

I have always, do, and will continue to use control stick jump. The only times I use X to jump is for glides with MK. The only time I use Y to jump is for ground floating with Peach, in which case I switch quickly to claw.

 

[jjvirus]

I use X. It's more comfortable for me. I don't think I've ever used Y. XD

 

[Pichu4SSB4]

I use Y, because it's right above the A button.....HAH...

 

[JUDGE]

omg this is like the fifth thread about this topic that i have seen here


and again: i use the y button for jump and the x button for grabs(even though i always use z for grabbing)

 

[Raziek]

I use Y to jump, X to grab. I find that using Y lends itself to easier SH aerials because you can easily flex the thumb Downward, as opposed to rolling it sideways. That, and it's the way I've always done it, so old habits are hard to break. xD

 

[uhmuzing]

First there's like five "Control Stick VS Y/X Button" threads. Then there's one that asks for the "Advantages of switching the jump button" or something like that. Now we have an "X VS Y Button" thread?

I use "Y", I think. Man, this is a hot topic.

 

[orange/xd]

I use Y, been using it since Melee. I don't have my X set to grab or anything like that, either.

 

[GreenFox]

I always use Y to jump never X Its just works well for me.

 

['V']

You actually can use whatever way you're comfortable with.

You just gotta be awesome.

 

[UltiMario]

Y.
I don't think I've ever even touched X during a Brawl or Melee match....

 

[MetalMusicMan]

X; I use Y to grab.

Me too, it's great!

 

[VodkaHaze]

X on both the Classic and GC controller.

 

[camden]

X; I use Y to grab.

^This. It's convenient.

 

[BIGM1994]

I DONT GET IT, you people are sooo lucky and blessed that you use y to jump, if you play melee that game hates analog it ****ing sucks, i use analog to jump btw people! does anyone elseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee or am i the only one!

I analog jump in Melee (thou I hardly play that game anymore).

In Brawl I use Y to grab, sooooo I use Z to jump.

Z jump is really useful for Peach's float, Falco's IAP, Snake's FH Nair, Upsmash OOS, and a ton of other trick I prob would have a hard time doing with Y or X jump.

 

[Calzum!]

X Jumps
Y Grabs
Tap jump off

 

[Marthos]

I keep tap jump on (dunno why, I'm just used to it), but also use Y to jump. I never touch X.

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Personally I find X to be easier to jump with than Y.

Probably because my Y button is slightly jammed .

 

[9Kplus1]

X is makes it much easier to preform AC aerials, planking, SHDL, etc. with the default controller settings.

I use A for jumping because I'm that awesome.

 

[Wiister2007]

I use a mixture of both, but mostly X because it is somewhat like C-Down on an N64 Controller. However, I do think that there are certain advantages, in very specific situations, that come with using Y. I can't think of any because I haven't played the game in a while.
