Where is X located?





Vote
Was just thinking X is probably the most commonly used button in games but each developer has their own way to do it. Where do you visualize X?

Cant think of a system that uses it on the right tbh

Equivalent to the A button

Gamecube controller has it on the right which was my first thought video game-wise since I used to play Smash competitively.

Really though since I'm reading this on a website on a computer I just automatically assume it's about the X key on the keyboard.
I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

It's funny, despite how little I've played on Sony consoles in the last decade, I still thought of X as the bottom button. My PS1/2 days were apparently quite formative.
Change is weird.
The first thing that came to mind was Agnes powering up the crystal in Bravely Default.

So, top button.

To write it down for all the world to see
Gamecube controller is a pretty big omission here.

I thought of Switch since that's all I've played in the past year, even though I don't specifically know WHERE the buttons are and just know what they do in games (had to check my Joycons next to me).

You also forgot this one. Or maybe were just never aware of it.

Not that I actually thought of it before SNES/playstation. I did think of it before Gamecube, though, despite playing a ton of Melee. I always used Y to jump in that.

Only tangentially related but I hate how every controller is different these days. You tell a friend "press B" and they just hit you with a blank stare. "Playstation X" *still blank stare* "Xbox A" "Ohhhhhhhh"

Anyway X is bottom for me, even though I don't play Sony consoles that much it feels more consistent there than wherever Nintendo has decided to move it to
Congrats to BKSheikah , who knows more about years than anyone else.
I actually had that Genesis controller but could not tell which games supported it

Bug Fables shows the PS X with a blue background, which is a nightmare for this effect.

I've been playing on the Steam Deck lately, so X is on the left.

I don't think my brain will ever get past the SNES

I wish this were standardized on game controllers. I have to think for a moment when a QTE shows up onscreen.
I was surprised when asked this to realize that the Xbox layout (X on left) has finally supplanted the SNES layout (X on top) for me in my instictive reaction. My first gut feeling was X on left and that hasn't been true until now.

I have no formative memories of the Playstation layout, so I couldn't have even told you where X was on a PS controller without thinking about it pretty hard.
Also I think it's funny that you could have also said "X on the right" in these options if you considered the GC controller

This still trips me up, going from Switch to Steam Deck.

Is it X or cross? I'm so confused

X is obviously the button above A and the first of the three upper buttons.

Thats funny to me because I am reading this on mobile and just automatically assumed it was about controllers. Lol

I do most of my gaming on PlayStation controllers, so I thought of the bottom button

I actually play Xbox but my first thought was the bottom due to the PS1/PS2
