Sportsmanship, it's a good thing

I run either a cheap load out to power level which consists of free shard gen and wrench with either bolas target finder or lorrian skill spike for late game.

My standard orendi build is shard gen with bolas target finder and firmware update which gives you great synergy with preamble of pain and potentially about a 30second cool down on pillarstorm.

Orendi+Firware=<3
I don’t know how many times I’ve gotten a full +5-6 skill chain because of that beautiful combo. It’s how I got my first penta.

Getting stomped is not the only way to learn.

Agreed. I’d go so far as to say getting stomped is exactly how someone DOESN’T learn.

You can’t learn when you can’t even figure out how/why you’re losing.

Hey guys, just scored a 26! 10 kills and only 5 deaths! I was the highest score out of both teams, just from staying with my team rather than running around rogue. Thanks for all the insights.

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 :slight_smile:

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 :grinning:

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.
