C-Up indeed too

Nintendo made a good deal by inventing the N64 controller. There is no equivalent for emulation, so I'm using my Logitech Dual Action (exactely the samt layout like a PS1/PS2 analogue controller), since you never have the ideal setup for the four C buttons

My setup used in games, referred th the PS-joypad layout:

X = A
Square = B
Circle = C-right
Triangle = C-up
Select = C-left (try to play the Ocarina in Zelda OoT like that)
Start = Start (not really )
L1 = L
R1 = R
L2 = Z
R2 = C-down

Nah, I think, I'll put the left C-button to another position for Zelda OoT - since in battle you need to switch quickly

C-Up. Sounds better, and as people have said, you're less likely to mash the pad or stick.

C-up, C-down, etc.

The button comes first, then the direction. Since there are 4 C buttons, they have to each be categorized differently. You'll confuse someone if you tell them "up-C" and they hit up on the control pad.

There are three, if you count the D-pad.
Actually, I was counting the D-pad. But yeah, I suppose you could count the analog stick, too. I was mostly referring to how the D-pad and C buttons both have 4 directions, whereas the analog stick has 360 degrees of possible directions.

I say both once in a while, but I'm leaning more towards C-Up, etc

I never really use it, unless forced to like in Metroid Prime or something. But they're used more like menu surfing in Prime, instead of actually controlling you.

yellow works...unless you have someone color blind...then you got some trouble there...but
but yellow does make it easier..and its likely if you said left-C they would ask left and what c button...

Yellow left, yellow right, yellow up, yellow down.

I called them yellow. Easier on me.

L+R+Z, Up+C-Down, C-Up+Down, Left+C-Left, C-Right+Right, A+B+Start.

It makes more sense not only because it sounds better, but it's less confusing. If you tell someone to press "Up-C" they're likely to mash Up before you say the C. If you say C first, they know.

C++.

Seriously... C-Left, C-Right, C-Up and C-Down. ...Did I mention C-Up?

ive always called them C-up, etc, I dont think ive said up-C,etc once...that just sounds weird to me, but C-direction makes perfect sense.

I use the C-button to crouch in Goldeneye. Honestly, I think that the c-buttons are hard to use in games.

If you could be even more picky, you could say Camera up camera down and such. Since C stands for camera and the yellow buttons was orginally made for camera movement.


The problem with replacing the "C" with "Camera" is that sometimes "C-Up"/"Up-C" would move the camera down, which can be a bit confusing. Oh well...at least that's not as confusing as what I've heard about some people doing...I heard about one guy who called the top C button "Ham Sandwich", the left C button "C-Down" (or was it "Down-C"? I can't remember exactly), the bottom C button "Bob", and the right C button "Ham Sandwich".
(edit: ...or did he call the left C button "Ham Sandwich" and the right one "C-Down" or "Down-C"? )

C-up flows, whereas up-C sounds awful. Plus, it makes more sense to first establish that it's C before stating the direction since there's only one C area, as opposed to two areas with left/right/up/down directions. That's probably just being really nit-picky, though, so I'll simply stand by my earlier argument of it simply sounding better.

I've heard some people refer to them as "C-[direction]", but others have referred to them as "[direction]-C"... What do you call them?
