Do you use L or R for dodging?

It really depends on the player. Most of the time I use R for spot and airdodging and L for L-cancel.

 

[LordoftheMorning]

I use L for everything shield/dodge related so I can have my R free for special (for wavebouces, not that I use them -_-)

 

[Neon Ness]

I use L for all of my dodging needs.

But in the end... it doesn't really matter... does it?

 

[Tee ay eye]

No one cares. It's 100% personal choice.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Player preference. And I changed the title to be less extravagant.

 

[Steeler]

I use L. Habit since SSB64.

 

[Barge]

I never use L, I wish I did, my R is starting to break.

 

[kr3wman]

I use L. Habit since SSB64.

Yeah...

...

Wait wut?

 

[Camalange]

I used the L trigger...it just feels more natural because it's right by the joystick. All one hand motion, supah quick reflex.

 

[Darkurai]

I use Y.

I went back and played Melee recently and got destroyed because I tried to jump out of attacks instead of dodging them.

 

[Steeler]

oops i meant melee lol

 

[TWILTHERO]

I used both, but mostly R more.

R if I'm getting hit by an airial or projectile, L for everything else.

 

[Anth0ny]

Always L. Heck, now that I think about it, I NEVER use R lol.

 

[pure_awesome]

R if I'm getting hit by an airial or projectile, L for everything else.

...how the heck did that develop?


Personally, R.

I have L set to jump for out of shield moves.


But again, it's just personal preference. One isn't necessarily worse than the other.

 

[dawgbowl]

yeah I use L today... when I get angry I'll hit both lol

 

[Sosuke]

...how the heck did that develop?

Pretty sure it has something to do with Zair. idk.

 

[Barge]

yeah I use L today... when I get angry I'll hit both lol

That's effective. D:

 

[samai]

I mostly use L

 

[Kinzer]

I use the B button...and no, I don't use a Gamecube controller.

*Looks down at controller* Now that I look at it, it doesn't have have an "R" or "L" kind of trigger.

 

[Galaxy]

Always use R, for some reason.

I know most Melee pros use L though. Not that it really matters..

 

[MarKO X]

I use R. Allways have. Llike, in Mellee, they callled it Ll-cancellling, and I was llike, "but it works with the R button too." and they were llike, "Llisten noob, just cancell your ****ing llag or get pwned. Got it?"

Which reminds me, I read this somewhere and was bafflled. Does L-cancel stand for "lag cancel" or is it just cancelling lag with L? Because, you know, it was called Z-cancelling in SSB64 (even though you could do it with R... R gets no respect.)

 

[Justblaze647]

lol... its so wierd to see how many people shield/dodge with L. I couldnt think to use anything but the R-trigger (especially when L cancelling was possible)

 

[Ham Enterprises]

I use R, although I'm not sure why.

 

[Ori_bro]

wow my friends and i just had this discussion the other day.
I always use ''L''

 

[The Bird]

it depends on the direction im dodgeing

 

[LSDX]

Z all the way!

Nah, I think i use L. I'm unsure, never really thought of it. I just roll with the (Falcon) Punches (c wut i did thar.....).

 

[Iron Thorn]

Both, but I probably favor R, bein' right-handed and all.

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

I know a friend who uses X.

But I use R.

 

[PKSkyler]

Is it weird I use them both evenly?

 

[OmegaXXII]

it's all a matter of choice, but I have to say I use R most of the time

 

[brinboy789]

now that i think about it, i always use L. maybe i can set r to something...lol

 

[FatalFrost]

L FTW
I don't think I've ever used R D:

 

[Kitamerby]

I use R.

I'm still trying to think of what to set L to. I'll probably set it to attack or Jump, but I'm not sure which yet. xD

 

[orochijes]

It may actually not be a matter of choice, but something that is automatic in our subconscious.
I have never used L for shielding, rolling, dodging, ect., but perhaps it is because I'm right handed. My left index finger is naturaly weaker and slower to react as well.

Another thing that might change the side you use is what feels more stable. If I were to use L, it would feel like my grip on the joystick was comprimised and I would risk letting my thumb slip off.

On the other hand, if you tend tend to grab a lot or use zair frequently, switching back and forth from R to Z buttons may seem troublesome, making you naturally gravitate towards using L. Sheild grabbers (like me) would not be bothered by this as much.

 

[chinkpak]

I've always used L, only time I used R was in 64, and that was to grab lol...since then....never used it

 

[fudd]

definitely L, there are too many buttons on the right side >< , only analog on the left =o

 

[LinkSpecialist]

L for sure.

R just doesn't feel right for me. Maybe it's because I'm left handed or something, but I doubt that has to do with anything. My left hand handles spacing and defense while my right hand handle's strictly offense.

....or it could just be from using Z all the time from the 64, that could be it too.

 

[Shy Guy 86]

L, R doesn't feel good for me, I'm right handed, my index finger(left) reacts just as fast, I'm thinking of setting R to grab, but why can't we click the Z button from all of the button itself, it would be much better if it was like the Z Classic Controller button(but with the GC shape)
