Turn the A button while in the air into a dedicated Nair button#865

I and others playing on box controllers for aerials, exclusively use the cstick buttons for directional aerials and only ever use the A button to nair. I would like it so that while in the air, the A button can only neutral air.

Parry is located on the top row so air parry being set to nair is not a suitable option and using air grab will net you a ton of accidental grabs, especially with how easy it is to jump cancel things accidentally in this game.

The only workaround is moving the A button to the top row and replacing it with parry, which feels very awkward because now the A button is in a hard to use spot.

Making this change would help make the dedicated nair feature in this game more equal between box controllers and regular controllers.

I think many players such as myself would love this feature.

Thanks for reading!

I will also add that this setting will liberate us from the jump cancel grab dilemma, where you have to choose which action to bind for your air grab input.
With “only nair on A” you will be able to set Nspecial on air parry and don’t use air grab at all (or set it to smth less important)

There have been a few posts asking for a “neutral attack” binding that only nairs in the air and jabs/dash attacks on the ground. I would use that on my A button without question. It has advantages on controller as well!

That wouldn’t work on box since we use the A button for tilts, but hey more options can’t hurt.
