3DS Controls

[AegisReflector]

How did you guys handle the 3DS control scheme?

It was a little awkward for me at first but after like 3 matches I I was all set. I still fail somewhat at grabbing though. Hopefully I don't wear out my Circle Pad.

It was hard for me in the first matches, but then I got used to it. I still have problems jumping, unfortunately .

I'm literally swapping my guard and grab controls the first moment I get the game.
It just doesn't fit right to have it the way it's set up by default (should be like GCN's Z location).

Otherwise, I was perfectly fine with the controls. I like playing with the circle pad a lot actually.

It was indeed awkward at first. I didn't even know what I was actually doing lol. Though, after a while, easily got used to it. I'm not perfect with them, but a little more training and it should be good.

Definitely better than the Wii controls imo.

^I thought the same; I guess I just naturally see "R" as the more aggressive button and the other controls feel smooth.

Really good, considering I had just come off a Wii Remote where you can hardly reach half the buttons.

Why did you guys torture yourselves with Wii controls? GCN Controls 10/10

I still have trouble jumping somewhat because I am not used to 4 little buttons being close together. Definitely not going competitive with the 3DS.

Totally. I hope I get used to jumping at last .

I always use the Wii Remote in Brawl xD.

To each their own but Wii controls were so annoying and spread-out everywhere. I guess using the Nunchuk helped somewhat but GCN just seems like the best option since the Wiimotes definitely aren't made for fighters.

GCN controls are the best so far, no wonder why it'll be use for Smash Wii U too.

Even my friend who is a very casual player hated the Wii controls because of the button layout. I mean when you have to go from a GCN controller to the Wiimote it's a pretty drastic change in handling the gameplay, unlike say going from a PS2 controller to a PS3 controller.

I don't have problems jumping anymore, but now I have problems doing Side and Down Smashes :-D.

I'm more or less fine with the controls. The inability to C-Stick smash though is ever so slightly depressing to me but I think I will be able to survive without that functionality. I have had troubles with the B button though. Sometimes I've wanted to use my neutral special when instead I use the side special because I was just moving left or right and the circle pad hadn't moved back into it's stationary position quick enough. It's kind of petty, but it's happened to me more than once.

The 3DS controls have 1 major drawback - the Circle Pad can break. Unfortunately, mine broke yesterday, but I can still play. It's not as bad as I thought - it's just a little bit less comfortable.

It cramps my hands up a lot.

I'm going to get arthritis playing this game.

Other than that, I love it.
