Discuss what your control schemes are, and why you use them.
Controls are an important part of competitive play. Default controls can limit what you can do, the best control scheme would be the one that is the most comfortable, familiar and doesn't prohibit certain actions. The point of this thread is to share ideas, and to maybe develop the "most optimal" R.O.B control set up.
Smashboards only has GC controller pictures, and I believe most people use the GC controller / a look a like. But, still share if you play on 3DS / Wiichuck / Classic (Pro). You could still help someone.

Things to keep in mind when discussing and making your control scheme:
Perfect Pivoting:
Perfect Pivoting is much more useful with tilt stick (c-stick set to "attack") on.
Instant Gyro Cancels:
IGC is much more useful with another special button, preferably the shield button you don't use and not one of the other face buttons. Using to initiate the gyro charge limits the tilts you can do out of it. It's fine if you only want to use dtilt, though. Tilt stick is preferred for IGC as well, as you don't have to move the main stick as much, which makes performing it much faster and consistent.
As a side note, click the smiley face button above the text box, then go to "GC Buttons" to show pictures of the Gamecube controller buttons.

Now, for my controls. I'm only listing what buttons I have edited, anything not shown is default. Feel free to do it however you want, though.
Rumble is off
tap jump is off
+ a+b smash attacks are off.
Up on the is "grab". This means you have to let go of the stick, making z-drops much easier. Shout outs to Mister Eric .
is set to attack for PP and IGC.
is set to grab. X being a different input than Y means that you can actually mash faster if you do it correctly. Also, it's just closer to my thumb and easier to press.
I use R to shield, and I have no idea what to use L for. Right now I have it as jump but I never use it, I'm thinking of switching it to special for easier IGCs.
