Why could they never figure out an acceptable default control scheme for this series? 8 fucking games in a row they refused to map the dash to the shoulder buttons, despite literally nobody liking it on the face buttons as it makes even something as simple as a dashing wall jump a pain in the ass.

I hate GBAbabbies who fprce the shoulderdash on the rest of us, putting it next to the jump button is more intuitive.

>Why do I have to adapt to whatever control scheme they wanted was the default?
Because they assume you are not retarded?

I've literally never heard anyone complain about the button mapping in the X series until long after the Zero series ended. Dash-jumping isn't hard with jump and dash mapped to face buttons unless you're a drooling retard. The only complaint I ever heard of was that the X button did nothing and it wasn't until Mega Man 8 that they at least made it so you can use the regular buster with a special weapon equipped.And now that I look at the series as an adult, I understand that dashing is a shit mechanic. Just like every other armor part in X1, it doesn't actually do anything useful. It's just a button you mash repeatedly to go faster with no down-sides other than that it's tedious. I would have rather had a sprint button you hold down to run faster.

What a retarded OP, complaining about a non-issue because there's option menu.
But if you want the real answer, it's because many japanese used this hand position

There has never been a good Mega Man game. They are shit as run 'n guns, they are shit as platformers. They are shit.

The fact is shoulder buttons on SNES were rarely if ever used the same way we've been used to using shoulder buttons since the PSX. There are exceptions of course but for the most part they were treated like option buttons like Select/Start, not something you're expected to play with at all times for important actions like face buttons.

The secret best Mega Man X/Zero control config is to have dash on a face button and your main/sub weapon firing on the shoulder buttons. It makes by far the most sense because you can roll your thumb over the jump and dash buttons for mobility while your fingers take care of firing. It's also easiest to hold onto charged shots this way.
