Getting stomped is not the only way to learn.

Agreed. Iād go so far as to say getting stomped is exactly how someone DOESNāT learn.
You canāt learn when you canāt even figure out how/why youāre 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 weāre 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 thatās what you were referring to.
Ah gotcha
But yeah itās 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 canāt have your thumb on A and right stick At the same time.
Nope. You can change how Ć½ou 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. Itās called the Claw.

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 olā 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 isnāt 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
Iām 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 Iām willing to try a re-map.

Nice
You have a casual and pro main?
Oh and DO a remap
Itās 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 ācasualā 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 Iām a fox main but again I play most of the cast reasonably well. I donāt play in what most people would consider a ācasualā setting lol.
Iām referring to a non tournament rep
I love me some Ganon and Iām pretty freakin phenomenal with him but I donāt take him to tournament. If I have to win no matter the cost itās 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 Iām above them and it makes me harder to crit as well.
So you compete in tournaments? If so what region and whatās 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 isnāt as strong as the US, but weāre not bad in a global context.
