Congrats buddy, looksl ike your on track.
On the jumping and aiming (im on Xbox), not sure how I manage it (just tried thinking about it), but I can move, jump, shoot and use abilities on the standard layout, so it is possible
I cant seem to put it together in my head how I am doing this though, I will need to be more aware next time I play. Maybe I could get some benefits from swapping stuff about
Jumping and aiming at the same time is what we’re referring too.
Characters like Caldi, who require you jamming on the jump button constantly, gain a lot from being able to aim with the stick at the same time. You can only do that with a remap
I shall have to take your word for it, till I try it anyway 
Also just to clarify, I was aware that’s what you were referring to.
Ah gotcha
But yeah it’s physically impossible to do them at same time (sans using multiple fingers). You could switch back and forth as quickly as you can but you can’t have your thumb on A and right stick At the same time.
Nope. You can change how ýou hold the controller- you remap your hand if you will.
I use my index finger sometimes to jump while aiming and firing with my middle. It’s called the Claw.
That’s what I meant
Trigger with your pinky seems painful
That must be what I do, honestly I have never thought about it 
However I am running a Scuff, so I could map the A button to my right switch
Us humans need to evolve better gaming hands!
Ah, the good ol’ claw. Gears of war taught me this. Wall bouncing, dodging, and aiming all at the same time. Good times.
pinky? that would be tough. The claw isn’t hard though. Its weird at first, but not uncomfortable.
Or buttons on the backs of controllers
I use an elite controller, and I love having the jump button on an underside paddle. My only complaint is that after just under a year of use my right thumbstick drifts up. Still, it made spry sprite spray on thorn so much easier I started using the setup for everyone
I’m a pro SSBM player, so I can make my hands do anything.
I use standard controls and have no trouble jumping around and aiming.
That said I’m willing to try a re-map.
Nice
You have a casual and pro main?
Oh and DO a remap
It’s not a must but it helps quality of life a ton on certain characters
For Battleborn or Melee?
Battleborn I play most of the cast so whoever for ‘casual’ matches.
Mains would be Orendi, Phoebe, El Dragon, Ernest, Thorn, Montana, Pendles and S&A. It used to be Benedict until they changed his reload.
Melee I’m a fox main but again I play most of the cast reasonably well. I don’t play in what most people would consider a ‘casual’ setting lol.
I’m referring to a non tournament rep
I love me some Ganon and I’m pretty freakin phenomenal with him but I don’t take him to tournament. If I have to win no matter the cost it’s Falco
Hence
Casual main: Ganon
Pro main: Falco
On topic
I jump/strafe/aim/attack with melees a lot and remapping helps tremendously. being able to jump and aim helps me get access to a bigger portion of their crit box as I’m above them and it makes me harder to crit as well.
So you compete in tournaments? If so what region and what’s your tag?
In friendlies I still usually play Fox to practice and hone my skills but I also play Marth, Falco, ICs, Samus and can play the whole cast decently (bar Yoshi).
I compete in Australia so our scene isn’t as strong as the US, but we’re not bad in a global context.
I’m a bit torn on the issue here, to be honest. On the one hand, regardless of the game I’m playing, in a PvP setting, I’m gonna try and win (because - guess what? - that’s how I have fun with a game). Harsh and unfair to them, maybe, but that how I like to bounce my ball (cough).
However, I’m not going to go out of my way to smash or discourage some newbies/lowbies, especially in PVE. So I communicate tips and tricks and stuff. Some newer players don’t know that Geoff’s weakpoints are his “eyes” and also the joints in the back, or that the MX.Elite bot stopped moving because it’s about to unleash a massive stun attack, or that Ambra’s Sunspots are there to both damage enemies and heal allies (so f***ing help me, if another person runs from the Sunspots…).
But in PvP, I’m sorry, but if you’re not on my team, you will find no mercy from me. Regardless of your CR, may the better player/team win.
Taunting… eh, depends on the taunt. I love having Toby freak out after getting a kill. It’s hilariously adorable.
SoCal
°XIV°
I’ve played NZ players a handful of times at different melee tournaments but never anyone out of Oz.
I’ve played against a few in online S4 tournies though
SoCal… man I envy you, the best region in the world for melee.
I’m friends with the Norwalk crew, Lucky, Mango, Alex, Johnny from their trips to Australia and I’d love to come out again. Oats is one of my good friends from your scene too.
One of my buddies DonB is comin out to SoCal next year to live for 12 months, so keep an eye out for him.
