SSBB - An introduction to Wavebouncing/B-Sticking

Wavebouncing/B-sticking - a new technique that has just recently been discovered - revolves primarily around using the C-stick as an alternative means to execute special attacks.

With the use of the C-stick in special ways, particularly interrupting an advancing jump, you can disrupt the momentum of the character, thus resulting in a "bounceback." This bounce is an interesting new defensive technique that can be applied to certain characters extremely well (Lucas, Marth, Zelda, Lucario), and others not so well.

This is just the tip of the iceburg, though. Wavebouncing and it's lead-ins carry with it many other interesting effects such as alternative jumps, easy directional precision, and much more.

@MasterknightDH

you should know.. when anybody uses the c-stick, how can it be unfair then? you can do many things with the c-stick like DACUS, BDACUS and doing f-airs while drifting backwards. smash spam? thats no problem, smash spamers are easy to read. you still got your shield button

@chaos1778

I have a better idea: how about you actually play the game and not ghey the game?

[chaos1778]

@MasterKnightDH

Or you could actually get better, instead of calling it cheap.

Popped collars and all...! Excuse me while I find my sunglasses: It's nighttime.

@chaos1778

Find another way, not using the cheap, effortless crap.

@yamihere690

The grammar in that comment could have been improved, but yeah, C-Sticking as a whole is dumb. It messes up the mere CONCEPT of the game, it's a cheap crutch for moves that are supposed to amount to Difficult but Awesome compared to other moves, and it just plan encourages people to be cheap.

@BJtheBassist

The problem with douches like you is that you automatically assume you're good just because you can do one thing well, even if said one thing is INHERENTLY AN EXPLOIT AT BEST.

@HyperBuu

THIS! Having to be able to do one thing or cheap back just to combat cheapness has inherent problems. Destroying the learning curve, for starters.

C-sticking is NOT essential for aerials. n00bs like you just think so.
