Smash 3DS My R Button Broke...

[BlazingFireOmega]

Not sure if this is even smash related, but aparrently my 3DS's R Button broke. I tried blowing into my 3DS, and it works, but it doesn't last long. Any solution other than blowing on my 3DS?

Set shield to L.

That's all I got, sorry.

Send it to Nintendo, otherwise there's not much else for you to do.

I've had this problem as well, and if you're even a little technically savvy (PARTICULARLY if your 3DS isn't on warranty anymore), it's actually not that expensive or difficult at all to replace the r button wiring. Basically you just need a Phillips .000 screwdriver (about 3 dollars) and the part (another 3 dollars online).

Give this a look. If it seems like something you're confident in doing, I'd say it's worth a shot. But again, it's up to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9OcA3u4qRA

RIP. In that case, set L to shield and use Y to grab I guess. Or try to fix it somehow.

Shield + Attack grabs in Smash Bros. Y to grab isn't needed, but to each his own.

Well, you can't always shield grab. I mean, it's better in just as many cases to perform a regular grab than to shield grab, those few frames will pay off.

I just tested this in Dolphin with the netplay version of Project M by mapping "N" to both hit on one controller, and + on a different controller simultaneously.

(Sorry, idk how to get two people to grab simultaneously in Smash for 3ds, so I just have to guess it works the same in Smash 4)

If you use + to grab, the grab comes out just as fast as a grab with .

It appears to be just as quick on the 3ds, but I can't test for frame-perfection.

Where do you recommend buying replacement 3ds parts? I don't have a 3ds problem myself, but it seems like something that's good to know just in case.

I just snagged the parts from eBay from one of the more reputable sellers. Seemed to do the trick just fine.
