R button users

[reverie2]

For those of you that use the R button a lot (especially to wavedash), what part of your finger do you use? I just noticed I was using the middle part of my finger which is not what my friend uses and that it might not be good for my hands (i main fox). I've been getting blisters on it so im thinking now it might be worth switching my R clicking method.

If you have blisters then you definitely need to stop. Play on top of those will make it worse.

I use the tip of my index finger (Well, everything above the first knuckle).

I would assume it's a technique problem if you're getting blisters.

If you can make the change, do less damage to your hands, and not hurt your play, then I 100% advise doing that.

I use a bit of each input possible. X, Y, tap, even C-stick to jump. L, R, and very rarely Z to L-cancel, etc.

I usually rest the first joint (the joint farthest away from my hand) of my middle finger on the peak of the R trigger. You should do whatever is comfortable and doesn't cause you physical injury, though; everyone's hands are different.

I think this seems the most natural. I think i'm going to switch to this. I don't know why initially was using the middle part of the middle finger.

After a long time of using the tip of my index finger on R for all techs and L-cancels, I get a bad pain in the first knuckle of the same finger. I can play smash in smaller doses, even enter tournaments, but my finger hurts when stretched even after days of not playing. Definitely a pain in the ass.

I'm actually surprised hearing this many people using index finger for R. So you switch back and forth between Z and R with your index finger when you wanna grab?

Mhm. Its not really an inconvenience though. Kinda like moving your thumb from jump to c-stick. And there's always pressing L/R+A.

Yep. Couldn't imagine using my middle finger.

I tech and L-cancel with L but wavedash with R. What I do when I wavedash is slide my hand down a bit and then use the top part of my middle finger to hit the button. Kind of hard to explain, the way I do it is weird.

I always use the tip of my finger, angled down so you can depress the button straight in. I find that the inputs come out faster and more consistently than if I use the pad of my finger.
