X button: Difference between revisions

Due to the [[Nintendo 64 controller]] not having an X button, there is no function for it in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. However, its [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] re-release made it compatible with controllers that have an X button, and it can perform any action in that state. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the X button is primarily used for [[jumping]], a function it typically shares with the [[Y button]]. In ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', it also changes the [[palette swap]] on the character selection screen. When using the right Joy-Con by itself held horizontally, the X button will become the right button, acting like an [[A button]] and performing standard attacks, while the X button typical functionalities are given to the [[Y button]]. The equivalent to this model on the left Joy-con would be the down directional button.

In ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', and ''Ultimate'', the X button can be customized in the [[controls]] menu to perform other functions. [[Nintendo Switch]] hardware version 10.0.0 introduced the ability to map the functionality of any button to any other button from the console options menu, further diversifying how the X button can be used in ''Ultimate''.
