Well I was messing around with button
combos to see what "nifty" things i could do, and i came up with
this...
Press "Y" and "B" at the same time (easily done by placing
your thumb over both of them) and you will switch your weapon AND melee with
that weapon.
So say you have the mighty SPNKR out, and someone gets a little to close, and
now your in melee range combat. You would want to melee you opponent but not
with that slow p.o.s you currently have.
Use this method and you will switch to the other weapon in your inventory while
meleeing your opponent...
It wont save you a whole lot of time...but why be any slower then you possibly
can?
