The '''C-Stick''' is the yellow analog stick on the right side of the [[GameCube controller]] and on the top of the right side of the [[New Nintendo 3DS]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'s'' [[versus mode]] and in {{for3ds}}, it can be used to perform any [[smash attack]] while standing, or any [[aerial]] attack while in midair. With the option to customize controls in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} (''Smash 3DS'' doesn't allow to customize the C-stick), the C-stick can also be assigned many other control behaviors, such as inputting [[tilt attack]]s ([[A-sticking]]) or [[special move]]s ([[B-sticking]]). The right Control Stick on the [[Wii U GamePad]] and [[Classic Controller]]s also works like the C-stick for the ''Smash'' games these controllers are compatible with.

Smash attacks inputted with the C-stick are performed one frame slower than the fastest possible, though this has little to no effect on its usefulness. If one presses a [[grab]] button right after the player tilts the stick, they can charge the smash attack. It is also possible to charge a smash attack by pressing an attack button when tilting the C-stick, in the same manner the player would if they were using the [[Control Stick]], or in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', by simply holding the C-stick in the direction it was tilted. 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, allowing the player to do an aerial while moving in another direction without losing momentum, such as a back aerial or up aerial while moving forward. In all games, the C-stick can substitute the Control stick in some instances, as it can be used to [[roll]] or [[sidestep]] out of shield, determine the direction of a tech, and aid in [[directional influence]] (both DI and [[SDI]]). The C-stick is additionally notable as the means to perform a [[DACUS]] and other advanced techniques.
