i dont find it as useful at all...its the same as using the A button to me but the A button i find to be more comforting

is there a benefit with the c-stick in aerials that im missing or am i completely right here?

from neo a long time ago.

[learn to do c-stick fair because it has no direction so you can easily hold down back to ] a.) forward-air camp or b.) combo people who di's behind you.

it also works better when you SH - UAir - FF- while falling before hitting the ground, UAir. works very well while fighting against the Space Animals. catching them in some really well useful combos. :)

I agree with hiroshi. Say you want to go a certain distance, but with using the A button, you DI forward or backward the whole time. Say what you want to do is DI away from someone to get extra distance while bair'ing. But maybe you want the DI as well. Maybe you need to go further than without the DI. So yeah, I would say it's partly situational, but you should mostly use the c-stick. And, mad-max, you can fast fall the dair with the A button, you just have to lift it back up and then push it back down at the peak of your jump or anytime after that. It's entirely possible to do.

with the cstick you can fastfall first then pull the aerial out right before you land to get aerials lower and more crisp. but i use both A and Cstick. A for quick rising aerials, cstick for aerials where i have to fastfall first.

you can still do that without using the C-stick. yes, it may be a bit easier with it, but it just requires more precise timing. i think it's better to use the c-stick while SH- uair, especially with C Falcon or Mario/Doc.
