What is Your Dominant Perfect Pivot Direction?

[Rekzius]

I`ve heard this a few times when i talk to other players. A lot of them are able to perfect pivot in direction without fail, but when it comes to the opposite direction, a lot them seem to struggle.

I have seen diffrent results, none of the directions seem to an obvious dominant. (Which to be fair is not a lot of people)

Of course there are some people who can perfect pivot in both directions without problems, but even they must have one that is the easiest one to preform.

Well, either that or my thumb is just really slow.

 

[Satonakas]

I don't know why but when I perfect pivot left it just doesn't feel right

 

[Jenna Zant]

Right. It's much easier to do it, probably because I'm right handed or something.

 

[paperchao]

Left, trying to perfect pivot right feels really awkward for my thumb, but I'm trying to work on it

 

[Rekzius]

Right. It's much easier to do it, probably because I'm right handed or something.

Intresting, i am right handed as well, but my dominant is left.

 

[Jeronado]

Perfect Pivoting to the right is easiest for me. Doing it to the left feels a bit awkward.

 

[Planty]

Interesting to know that this doesn't only apply to me.

 

[Monadom]

Left! I'm right handed, but for my left thumb, it feels easier to quickly flick to th eleft, then smoothly go to the right

... then again, I can barely perfect pivot at all on the 3DS.

 

[Lavani]

Left feels much easier. Having to reach my thumb further across the controller moving right makes it more difficult for me to be precise.

 

[Lvl99Gamer]

I... I can't perfect pivot for the life of me... I don't even get to vote!

 

[|RK|]

Left, when I can. It's weird, because the timing is the same... it's just so hard to get the light flick left when I'm going right.

 

[Jaxas]

For me it's easier to PP to the right, though from what I've tried and seen from my friends it all comes down to how you hold the controller. If I shift my grip I can PP left easier, but it feels weird to use in general, so I'm just trying to practice until I have both directions down.

 

[Raimakusa]

Left is significantly easier for me. Not sure why but when I try to perfect pivot to the right, my thumb just feels very clumsy and can't flick the stick fast enough.

I'm left handed for what it's worth.

 

[Dokokashira]

I find perfect pivoting to the left much easier than to the right, but extending dash dancing to the right is much easier than to the left. I also find ledge trumps on the right ledge to be somewhat trickier than those on the left ledge, but there isn't as much of a difference in difficulty as perfect pivoting and extended dash dancing.

Thank goodness I thought there was something wrong with me having a hard time perfect pivoting to the right.

 

[Wintermelon43]

Wow, it isn't just me?

Even though I'm right-handed, I am better when I do it left.

 

[Sonicninja115]

At first I preferred the right, but I was able to start getting left the other day. I spend 20 hours labbing it with little improvement, and then I can suddenly do ten in a row. It happened to the right last month and to the left just a week ago.

 

[atreyujames]

I don't know why but when I perfect pivot left it just doesn't feel right

I see what you did there

 

[TDF_Lewis]

I think it's just a case of which one you start practising with first, the reason I can do it to the left better than right is merely practical.

I think spent longer doing it to the right is all it needs to make both come as naturally.

 

[Hydde]

Its easier for me to left too


maybe it has to do with the natural position of our fingers in our hands as humans?

 

[EnhaloTricks]

Left is easier by far. I was only able to do it left for a long time but after labbing it out it's gotten much easier. In tourney, I'm still mainly comfortable doing it towards the left though :x

 

[Pazzo.]

I think left is slightly easier... left hand is stronger than my right. But on a strange note, I'm also right handed.

So when it comes to quick, small movements, my right hand is better, but my left hand is equally as fast, but a little clumsy.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Right handed, can pp right maybe 50-60% of the time, can only pp left maybe 5% of the time.

I cry.

 

[Lord Horatio]

The optimal and most moral pivot direction is right. Pivoting left will yield to discord.

 

[Rekzius]

I`m actualy quite surprised to see that it is mostly even, with left only having a slight lead. i was not expecting that. I am really intrested to find what cuases this. Its not dependant on hand dominance, as we proved earlier. I actualy tried to search something like "Thumb bio structure" into google, (I had a feeling it was not going to yeld much results but, at least i tried) but i was unable to find anything worth of intrest.

 

[dunham]

I have a great difficulty going right vs left and I am right handed.
