[[File:GCN CStick.png|right|thumb|An icon representing the GameCube controller's C-stick.]]The '''C-stick''' is the "yellow stick" on the right side of the [[GameCube controller]]. In ''[[Melee]]'s'' [[versus mode]], it can be used to perform any [[smash attack]] while standing, or any [[aerial]] while floating. Smash attacks performed with the C-stick are performed one frame slower than the fastest possible, which has little to no effect on its usefulness. If one presses "[[Z]]" (Or any grab button) soon after the player tilts the stick, they can charge the smash attack. It is also possible to charge a smash attack by pressing [[A]] when tilting the C-stick, in the same manner the player would if they were using the [[control stick]]. The C-stick can also be used to perform aerial attacks, in which case the attack will be performed in the direction the C-stick is tilted. This allows the player to do a back aerial attack without losing their forward momentum. The C-stick can also substitute for the [[control stick]] in some instances, as it can be used to [[air dodge]] or [[sidestep]] from your shield, direct the direction of a tech, and influence [[directional influence]]. he C-stick is also notable as the means to perform a DACUS and other advanced techniques. In ''Melee's'' 1 player modes, the C-stick can be used to zoom up on the player or zoom down on the player. In order to do this, one must tilt the C-stick up to zoom up and tilt the C-stick down to zoom down.

In ''Melee's'' 1 player modes, the C-stick can be used to change the zoom distance of the camera. In order to do this, one must tilt the C-stick up to zoom in and tilt the C-stick down to zoom out. Essentially all players see this as a pointless and disruptive feature, as the camera control cannot do much other than restrict the player's view, and players used to using the C-Stick to attack will find themselves instead taking no action.


In ''Brawl'', the C-stick (And right stick on the classic controller) can be assigned other control behaviors:

*Attack: Shortcuts to tilt A attacks, although tilting the stick in the direction opposite the player is facing will cause your character to do a [[neutral attack]] instead.
