Yes, L. No, how is that cheating? Would you rather it be down+B?

Why would it be cheating what the fuck
And of course I do, X games are unplayable otherwise
Gotta dash fast

>>5172485
>X games are unplayable otherwise

So you've never played Xtreme or Zero?

>>5172431
Yes. No. I used to claw hand it but I'm getting arthritis.

No, I just double tap to dash.

>>5172509
This, double tapping feels the proper intuitive way to use it

>>5172496
Zero games have it mapped to the L button. What are you talking about

>>5172516
So how do you dash when you're sliding on the walls?

>>5172540
You can still command dash off walls.

I can't believe they even have him wall-jumping in the comic. Is it such an iconic part of the series?

Fucking how? That's what the option is there for. I always assign Dash to R and I will never understand why that's not the default.
IMO, the default controls should be:
X = Shoot
A = Jump
R / L = Dash
Y = Next Weapon
B = Previous Weapon

>>5172540
B+A

>>5172635
>using anything but B for jump, ever
Disgusting faggot.

>>5172635
> Not B/Jump Y/hoot X-A/Prev-Next
Who hurt you anon

>>5172647
>>5172650
I find it more natural to lay my thumb across the X and A buttons on a standard SNES controller. Laying it across Y/B requires angling my thumb, which is less comfortable.

>>5172660
But your thumb should come in from the outer/lower part of the controller how the hell are you grabbing the thing

>not using a claw hand to dash

>>5172665
do this and use your thumb for Y and B
now you're playing with power

>>5172664
>how the hell are you grabbing the thing

As such. Apologies for untrimmed nails.

>LE TRIANGULAR KICK?!

>>5172431

I used to be a stubborn dickhead that would never remap controls so i used to play it standard, but years later when i played the Zero series and realized how nice L Dash was, i always change it L when i play now.

>>5172431
I used my chin to dash...

>>5172847
Hi, BrolyLegs!

>>5172431
Interesting thread. I actually used to never do so but maybe its because I lack skill now but I can't play like that anymore. So I assign dash to a shoulder button now.

>>5172509
degenerate

I play it on stick.

From left to right:
Shoot Jump Dash

>>5172650
>Who hurt you

>>5172431
No, I just adapted and now regularly play these games with my thumb over all three bottom buttons, the tip of my thumb usually holding down □, and the joint able to easily press O and X.

>>5172635
>X = Shoot
>A = Jump

Are you a fucking retard?

>>5173434
It's just how I hold the controller: >>5172673

Having dash on R feels the most natural to me.
It's not cheating, more like a preference I guess? To some people it might feel more natural to use the double tap or the A button.

>>5172431
I usually map dash to L these days but when I was a kid I was fine using the claw method.

>>5172509
I really hate that you can't disable double tap in old MMX.

>>5173434
You've never played Super Metroid?

>>5174130
I didn't even know that double tapping to dash was a thing. Might want to steady that thumb, bud.

In other games, do you intentionally mix up the controls to make it more difficult?

>>5172431
I always kept it at default and hooked my index finger over the A button. I tried playing it with R assigned as dash but it's too late. My brain is already adapted.

>>5172431
>Do you assign the dash to the shoulder buttons? Do you consider it cheating?
Yes. No.

>>5172578
it's super iconic, and it's the biggest gameplay difference from classic Mega Man, completely changes how vertical movement is handled

>>5172431
Only on the PS1 games thanks to having two sets of shoulder buttons. Dash on L1, Giga Attack on R1, and weapon-switching to L2/R2.

>>5172431
that's literally the only way you should play!

>>5172431
Got used to it playing Megaman Zero, so I started doing it for the X games as well.
