Seems like many of you aren't aware that...

...you can charge a smash attack with the C-Stick by holding Z with it. I see a lot of posts about how using A is better because you can charge it and it's stronger, while the C-Stick is faster.
Just setting the records straight.

I am aware of that fact actually. But I never really use the smash attacks as Ganondorf anyway. If I need a smash, I use the cstick. No real reason to smash with Ganondorf anyway. Gotta keep that lag down. razz

Also, for the record, the C-stick isn't faster. At all.

Yeah, it isn't faster, but I think what people tend to do is (accidentally or otherwise) hold A down slightly longer, making it seem slower.

Because his smash attacks are slow and easily punishable.  

[porkeater123]

Mostly. That and jabs and tilts.

The only thing I use the C-stick for is Meteor Smashes.

I can't seem to grasp the timing when using A, and the C-stick offers a little less resistance for me, making it easier to Meteor Smash.

The c-stick can be faster because you just need to tap the stick and it'll go at it's fastest speed, as opposed to pressing A and the tilting. Also. with the c-stick you can run one way and when someone is running after you, you can smash them.

Both ways work just about as equally well as the other, but I find the C stick much more easier and convenient to use if I need to use the attack in a hurry.
