Bumper Preference?

[Shake]

First of all, I'm new to the forums so hello! Second, I searched for a similar thread but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Just went to my first tournament in Maryland and noticed differences in what bumpers people use for shielding, wave dashing, and "L"-cancelling.

For me, the right bumper is used for shielding and wave dashing. I like to do a sort of light shield, and then I can use the "click" to wavedash out of shield. The left bumper is just cancels.

What are your preferences?

 

[t3h Icy]

My R-button is factory fresh.

 

[MonkUnit]

Never used the R button. Always used the L button for everything.

Same here but I also use L to buffer sheild out of L-cancel and wd oos

 

[standardtoaster]

I removed the spring from my R button. I use L for shielding. I use both for wavedashing. I use R for powershielding.

 

[ajp_anton]

My R-button is factory fresh.

My R, C and Y are factory fresh =).

 

[stelzig]

I have used R for rolling onto the stage and for powershielding a few times. But I pretty much only use L also for those two things. Like ajp, I don't use Y either (I do use the c-stick though )

 

[Beat!]

I use all buttons.

Y is the least used by far, though, and I don't think I ever use it with Marth so...

 

[standardtoaster]

I don't think I've ever actually used the Y button before.

 

[Sephirothxxx]

I tend to use R the most but I use L for cancelling just because it's called L-cancelling. I use x for all of my jumps except for a few.I dont know if I've ever used y except like once.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I only ever use R.

And I jump with the control stick.

 

[7ak]

It's strange how much variety there is here. I use L for L-cancels and shielding, and R for wavedash and waveland. I used X to jump at first (for maybe 2-3 months) then switched to Y and have never switched back. Also use c-stick for many things. I use L and R for powershields.

 

[foshio]

I use L only.
I use x for jumping almost exclusively except when I am jc upsmashing/grabbing out of sheild and shine then i use the control stick.. But jc grabbing from dash and shines to nair i use x (Shine to bair i use control stick)

 

[Warhawk]

I use L for wavedashing and L-cancelling and I'm pretty sure I use both for sheilding.

 

[Spyro]

I have a very unique/ awkward style of holding the contoler so I only have access to the L button.

 

[LittleBoyLarry]

I actually had to play a match to find out lol
wavedash and shield with left
L-cancel with right

 

[Shake]

Could you explain your style? It sounds like a claw style.

 

[cmac]

I use the R-bumper for everything

 

[Mr Postman]

I use L for everything and X for everything

I wish I learned Y instead of X for jumps just because it's more comfortable when "clawing"

Alright sure, this is from a post I made on the Pikachu boards.

My left and is the same as it was befor, I just have my pointer finger on the :ltrigger: and thumb and the :stick5:. However the way I hold it with my right hand is pretty weird. I put my thumb on the stick5:, my pointer finger on the :bbutton:, my middle finger is on the :abutton:, my ring finger is on the :ybutton: and my pinky is on the :zbutton:. So yeah, its going to take a lot of getting use to.

Keep in mind that I've been holding it like this for a while so I'm use to it.

*EDIT*: I started holding the controler like this so I could be as technical as possible.

 

[Mr Postman]

You play like a fight stick, kinda. That seems like it would help a lot with pikachu

 

[oukd]

I do exactly what you do except everything I do everything on the L button. Sometimes I use R to powershield...thinking about removing the spring so I just use R all the time.

 

[standardtoaster]

No, I have not but I know he basicly holds the controler like a fighting stick.

Here is how i've been trying out holding my controler, my left and is the same as it was befor, I just have my pointer finger on the :ltrigger: and thumb and the :stick5:. However the way I hold it with my right hand is pretty weird. I put my thumb on the stick5:, my pointer finger on the :bbutton:, my middle finger is on the :abutton:, my ring finger is on the :ybutton: and my pinky is on the :zbutton:.

I want vids of you playing, both of your hands and the actual gameplay. I have to see this.

Sorry I have no way to upload videos

 

[standardtoaster]

You play with other people don't you? Someone's bound to have a camera.

 

[Spyro]

I wish I did but I have no way of getting to the big community that TN has

I HAVE TO SEE YOUR PLAYSTYYYYYLE. Next time I roll down to Tennessee, (I live in WV) I'm going to find you.

Right now I'm still working on my tech skill, but in a couple of months, you should see me doing stuff that you would see Dark or Silent Wolf doing .

L for L-cancelling, R for everything else.

 

[Strong Badam]

R for L-Cancel, WD, ledgeroll, Air Dodge
L for light shield.

They're called triggers, btw.

 

[Wolfy!]

R for wavedashing/wavelanding
L for L-cancelling, shielding, ledgeroll, pretty much everything else.

 

[Massive]

I think I use R for L-cancels and wavedashing.
I use L for general shielding, but sometimes R.

My hands really don't care. I just know that wavedashing OoS always feels really awkward because I have to use both triggers.

 

[Fregadero]

This 1000 times. Taking me so long to get used to it.

 

[Wizzrobe]

I use R button for shield and Z button for L-canceling.

 

[Mr Wizzrobe]

R for shielding and WD, and L for L-cancelling and WD out of shield.

I personally find it awkward to WD out of shield with the same trigger. Maybe it would help if I took the spring out, but the current method works for me nonetheless.

 

[LittleBoyLarry]

so i'll ask my question again since some mod locked that other thread...

there appears to be a Wizzrobe and a Mr Wizzrobe
is there a Mrs Wzzrobe?

 

[Mr Wizzrobe]

Bed and kitchen are empty so I don't think so. Better check with my doppleganger here.

 

[Shadow Huan]

i am currently working on using both trigger buttons. I used to only use L for everything. I had an idea last month and ran with it. I use the R trigger when i intend to Power Shield something. My powershield game has actually gotten better since the trigger is newer and more responsive to pressure. Now i'm working out WD OoS after a successful power sheild...

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

L for everything.

lol id feel weird using R to Lcancel .... cuz you know... its L canceling ... not R canceling

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

disclaimer: i do know that "l cancel" means lag cancel
