Control stick: Difference between revisions

The '''control stick''', also known as the '''analogue stick''' or '''joystick''', is the gray stick on the Nintendo [[GameCube]] and [[Nintendo 64]] [[controller]]s, the white stick on the [[Nunchuk]], the two white sticks on the [[Classic Controller]], and the white or black sticks of the [[Wii U GamePad]] and [[Wii U Pro Controller]].  

In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], the control stick has four primary directions that can be input. During gameplay, tilting the control stick sideways will make a [[character]] walk in that direction. Tilting the control stick downward will make a character [[crouch]] if on the ground or [[fast fall]] if the character is airborne. Tilting the control stick upwards will cause a character to [[jump]], but only if the Tap Jump control function is enabled for the player. Inputting a regular attack while the control stick is tilted will result in a [[Tilt attack|tilt attack]]. The control stick can also be directed in diagonal directions, which will allow for more precise movement in the air as well as allowing some [[attack]]s to be [[Angling|angled]]. Pushing this control stick hard will result in [[dashing]] and also increases the power of moves such as [[Samus]]'s [[Missile]]. If outside of gameplay, the control stick can be used to navigate the [[menu]].

When holding the [[Wii remote]] sideways, the [[directional pad]] serves as the control stick, as there are no control sticks on the Wii remote alone.
