In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the C-stick is primarily used to perform [[smash attacks]]. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', if a player presses a [[grab]] button right after the player tilts the stick, they can charge the smash attack. It is also possible to charge a smash attack by pressing an attack button when tilting the C-stick, in the same manner the player would if they were using the [[control stick]]. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', players can simply hold the C-stick in the direction it was tilted to charge a smash attack. Tilting the C-stick while airborne will perform the corresponding [[aerial attack]], allowing player to perform an aerial attack without changing direction and momentum.

Within the game code, the C-stick activates a directional input and an [[attack]] button press on the same frame, which is a more consistent alternative to flicking the stick. Smash attacks inputted with the C-stick are performed one frame slower than the fastest possible, though this has little to no effect on its usefulness. The C-stick can also be used to [[roll]] or [[sidestep]] out of shield, determine the direction of a tech, and aid in [[directional influence]] (both DI and [[SDI]]). | ||
Despite {{for3ds}} technically releasing one month before the release of the New Nintendo 3DS, both were in development simultaneously, allowing the developers to program compatibility with a C-stick at launch. In-game, the C-stick functions identically to its console counterparts. However, the game does not allow players to customize the C-stick. The [[Classic Controller]], [[Wii U GamePad]], [[Wii U Pro Controller]], [[Joy-Con]]s and [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] have a right control stick that acts as an equivalent to the C-stick and functions identically. | Despite {{for3ds}} technically releasing one month before the release of the New Nintendo 3DS, both were in development simultaneously, allowing the developers to program compatibility with a C-stick at launch.

In ''Melee''{{'}}s single player modes, the C-stick can be used to change the zoom distance of the camera, by tilting it up to zoom in and down to zoom out. This is essentially pointless, as the camera control cannot do much other than restrict the player's view, and players fond of using the C-Stick to attack will find themselves instead taking no action. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the player can also use the C-stick to change the camera angle on the various menus within the game. | In ''Melee''{{'}}s single player modes, the C-stick can be used to change the zoom distance of the camera, by tilting it up to zoom in and down to zoom out.

In ''Brawl'', ''For Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'', the C-stick can be customized in the [[Controls]] menu to perform other functions. Setting input [[tilt attack]]s is often referred to as [[A-sticking]] and setting the input to [[special move]]s is often referred to as [[B-sticking]], both having pros and cons over each other and smash attacks. [[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 C-Stick can be used in ''Ultimate''. | In ''Brawl'', ''For Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'', the C-stick can be customized in the [[Controls]] menu to perform other functions.
