Do you use L or R for dodging?

I think I used L. I don't have a GCC (yet, I'm getting one) though, it was at my cousins.

Plus, I'm used to pressing Z on the wiimote+nunchuk combo.

R for everything, L just seems so wierd. I don't button mash A and B, I button mash R so it's natural :laugh:

L for dodging/sheilding. I have R set to attacks so I can buffer Ganon ledge shenanigans easier; ledge-canceled dair's and the like.

L. I don't know why, since I'm right handed. But if I actually think about it, instead of acting on years of training, I can use the R button just as accurate as L,. It IS a little uncomfortable though.

I use L, because I have to press A+R and Z for my boost grabs with Snake. If I use my 2nd, Captain Falcon, I naturally use L and never R.

I use the L button.

Haha, and guess what else is kind of funny-- If play other video games where I'm about to get hit, I always end up trying to shield with my L trigger. It usually ends badly; for example, playing Super Mario/Kirby 64, and my first instinct when I get surprised by an enemy is to press my L trigger. Boo muscle memory...

I don't know if this is weird but I only use R for ground dodges and L for any and all aerials.

Playing against Tabuu on Intense really helped my aerial dodges. I guess from there I got into the rhythm of using L in the air.

Most of the time I really don't notice, I like to use L because otherwise I feel like my left hand doesn't really get to do anything.

I use R. I tend to use L for character-specific control configurations. It's awesome to have a whole extra button free, but the L/R are kinda hard to press quickly, so it limits what you can do with it... still useful though.
