Do you use L or R for dodging?

I use R, for some reason I feel like I lose accuracy with the control stick If I use L, I think it has to do with my grip on the controller. Problably has to do with X being grab for me instead of Z too, frees up my right index finger for dodging.

I feel dirty when I use R...

It's so...unnatural.

I use R and all of my smash crew says I'm weird for doing it...apparently R is supposed to be used for grabbing. But X works just as well for that! (then they tell me X is for jumping...sigh)

I've always wondered about this. Personally I use L for everything dodging and shielding related, but I use R for air dodges as well, and sometimes for Z-airs too.

I don't think I posted in this thread yet, but I actually use both now.
I still prefer L over R any day.

It might be because I'm ambidextrous left handed.

I use R for general Shielding/Dodging/Rolling on occasion. I use L for glide tossing. I did the same with Melee, only I also used R for L-canceling and L for Wavedashing.

I use L for all my shielding and dodging needs, since I use Z to grab... I modified my classic controller so that R is grab...ZR is just too annoyingly away from my finger...of course, I only use classic whenever my friends and I are running short on controllers.
