Do you use L or R for dodging?

I end up always using R. I keep thinking I want to start using L, but it's been a habit since Melee.

Its real simple,
I use L for my dodging, L-Cancel and I use R to diversify.
But depends of the player preference.
We should choose what the buttons is comfortable to use in the Battle.

I use L for dodging.

I have R set up for jump, so my TL can SHDA with one hand instead of two thumbs.

Um...I usually use R, but when someone is about to hit me with a strong attack, I flinch at end up hitting L & R at the same time in a silly attempt for better defense! XD

R for dodging everything, L to L cancel. I used to use both until i found out about L canceling and different techs

I've always used R, since Melee. I dunno, it just feels natural to me. Using L feels really weird.

I use X, mostly because my index fingers can't react fast enough. However, given the choice between L and R, I would do R.

I use R. Sometimes I will use L to grab, mostlt for ICs.

I use R.

I got L on jump to use OoS options. I can't make myself shielding with L for some reason. It feels unatural :( And lol i also had the issue with L cancellling in Melee. I thought you HAD to do it with the L button but yeah turns out that you can also use R. I never played Melee Competitively though.
