>when you map dash to the L button in Mega Man X

that image is horrifying

Cannot unsee that lmao

[Anonymous No.7319514]

>>7319487
I don't fucking know how people played that shit with dash on A

[Anonymous No.7319543]

Put it on R you godless degenerate.

[Anonymous No.7319554]

>>7319543
That's basically the same thing anon.

[Anonymous No.7319650]

>>7319514
I've played it that way since 1994.

>>7319514
I've played it that way since 1994. No point in changing now.

[Anonymous No.7319659]

>>7319652
Same, except I changed it to L the first time I started emulating games and it felt objectively better.

[Anonymous No.7319718]

>>7319487
I played MMZ first so it was only natural

[Anonymous No.7319736]

but what do I use to change weapons then?

>he doesn't exclusively use double tap directions to dash
kek

[Anonymous No.7319762]

>>7319736
Y + A or X + Y depending on how you prefer to jump n' shoot.

>can't dash jump off walls

[Anonymous No.7320275]

>>7319497
I agree.

[Anonymous No.7320280]

>>7319652
You'll probably change it if you play the Zero games. There's simply no way to go back to dash on A after those.

[Anonymous No.7320289]

>>7319514
Of course nobody mapped it to A. I can't be alone when I say I mapped it to X, right?

[Anonymous No.7320292]

>>7320280
Personally I mapped the two action buttons on the bumpers and kept dash on A

i've never changed the default controls. they work fine

[Anonymous No.7320338]

>>7319487
Not for the SNES games. Putting weapon swap on anything but the shoulder buttons is just wrong to me.

For the PS1 games, though, I've grown to love putting dashing on L1 for the PS1 games and secondary weapons on R1, keeping weapon swap on L2/R2.

This.
>>7320280
It sounds like it might be useful if I actually used Z-Saber in them much instead of sticking to the Buster Shot.
Love X form in Zero 2.

[Anonymous No.7320373]

Why in the goddamn fuck would you put it on L instead of R? Jesus

[Anonymous No.7320454]

>>7320373
Lun Button

[Anonymous No.7320461]

>>7319554
No it's not. R is made for dashing.

I'm half joking. Pick whatever is best for you, but for me, it is R.

[Anonymous No.7320465]

>>7319514
Double tap dashes.

[Anonymous No.7320567]

>>7320373
Why would you put it on R? Is it because you're (R)etarded?

[Anonymous No.7320572]

>>7320465
So how do you dash off walls then?

[Anonymous No.7320578]

>>7320572
Hold A or whatever button you have it on and press Jump.

[Anonymous No.7320590]

>>7320578
Okay so then how do you do that while holding a charge shot? You don't have to answer, I figured it out in the 90s, but it doesn't mean that the standard controls aren't fucking retarded.

[Anonymous No.7320594]

>>7320373
Because pressing 3 face buttons at once is awkward as fuck. Rocking your thumb between Y and B, with a 3rd button for your index finger makes a whole lot more sense.

Nevermind, misread your post. That's what I get for posting during work.

[Anonymous No.7320608]

>>7320601
It's okay, if you want to still join the fun, the real argument is whether to put dash on L or R.

Faggots choose R.

[Anonymous No.7320637]

>>7320608
I might be a faggot, then. It makes more sense to me to associate the right side of my hand with button presses and the left wtih d-pad only. That said I think my brain coin flips it.

[Anonymous No.7320640]

>>7319718
This

[Anonymous No.7320726]

>>7320637
I think of dashing as an extension of movement. Unlike jumping which changes your axis, dashing is just a faster version of the trajectory you were already taking so it seems perfectly fine in my brain to have it on the left along with the movement it controls.

[Anonymous No.7320762]

>Jump is Y button
>Dash is B button
>Shoot is R button

[Anonymous No.7320867]

>>7320373
Because I've had subweapons on R for at least 15 years.

[Anonymous No.7320885]

>>7320762
No one does this. Why would you put the most frequently tapped button on a slower finger?

[Anonymous No.7321118]

Reminder that you get the full dash speed for a longer period if you dash and hop, interrupting your speed boost far more infrequently.
>>7319741
This is even slower, don't be slow like this anon. Dash instantly.

[Anonymous No.7321125]

>>7321118
I think most people figured this out during their first playthrough.

You can claw it if you don't have the dexterity to hit 3 buttons at once with your thumb.

I learned how to be efficient with default controls. Dash on A. Didn't realize you could change it. Years later people said they prefer using L or R for dash and I could never adjust. I much prefer A.
