Using only the L or the R button

[BlackPanther]

I don't know how many people do this. But I would like to get a general idea of how many people actually use just the l or the r button without using the other. Like I know some people might l cancel with the l and wave dash with the r and vice versa. But for me I use the l button to do everything my l canceling and wavedashing. So is there anyone else who does this?

 

[Akasuna no Sasori]

I only use the R button for l-cancelling, wavedashing, shielding, ect. I'm pretty sure a lot of people only use one or the other, but I may be wrong.

 

[red stone]

i use r for wavedashing and l for l-canceling. r for shielding and teching. l for ledge teching

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I use R for shielding and wavedashing. I use L for L-canceling. It's the only way I can do them. I don't know if it depends on being right handed for me, but all my left hand has to do is slam down on the L button once in a while. I can't wavedash with L.

A lot of people use both like everyone I play with uses L for l-canceling and shielding and r for wavedash. But using the r to do everything? That's crazy lol.

 

[petre]

its not that crazy. i play like that. it would be hard to break the habit.

 

[Banks]

L for l-cancel, r for wavedash.

 

[Giggidax]

some people prefer the R for everything and some people dont.

i myself use L for everything. maybe at some points in a game ill use R but that is very rarely. im not good at timing my R trigger thats why i never rally use it.

 

[Banks]

I think sheilding is the only thing i use both buttons for, depending on what im doing. wavesheilding or just sheiding. w/e

 

[amished]

The only thing I use the R trigger for is Wavedashing, since I feel I can coordinate one hand by itself better than two hands. Otherwise teching, shielding (and shieldgrabbing), and rolling are all done with my L trigger.

lol, my friend uses R for everything. My extra controller has a screwed up L button and it doesn't affect him at all

 

[Shieldkrusher]

I use L for L-Cancelling and Wavedashing (for some reason I can never pull it off with R) and I use R for shielding+everything else.

 

[FastFox]

I use R for everything except wavedashing out of my shield. It's easier to use L and wavedash with R.

 

[St. Viers]

I use R to shield/shield grab

L for everything else.

and I hit both to powershield, because thats how I thought you had to do it when I first played...

 

[Aiko]

I use L for everything. never use R.

 

[Banks]

it a pain in the *** to wavesheild with one button

 

[Black Waltz]

I use L for L-cancel and shield. But I also use R for wavedash and shieldgrabbing. For some reason I can't shieldgrab with L...

 

[Banks]

you would have to get used to it, i know it feels weird until you do it for a long while

 

[Razgriz]

I only use the L button. I've tried to implement using R to waveshield, but I keep finding myself waveshielding with just the L. Whatever.

 

[Banks]

as long as you can do it, it doesnt matter but you have to regulate how hard you are pressing buttons which can be annyoing in real battles, i just think its more logical to use two buttons, but w/e

 

[tarheeljks]

i use l to cancel and r to wavedash. i tech mostly w/ l, but occasionally w/r. shield w/either button.

 

[Giggidax]

it a pain in the *** to wavesheild with one button

actually i have perfected waveshielding. wavedashing into a shield with only the L button.

i jus hold L right before the click, and then continue to wavedash while holding it down at that point where second function click is.

 

[Volrec]

I only use the L button for L-R-A-Start.
I hate that thing, it's Kryptonite.

 

[Nihonjin]

L:

L cancel
Wavedashing
Shielding
Wavedashing out of shield
Techning
Airdodging

There should be a web on my R button by now....>_>

 

[CptMarth16]

Do you guys use the right middle finger on the R button? I use L for almost everything, but I'll try using R to improve WDing etc. I can imagine it being a difficulty to switch the index finger from R to Z.

 

[Nihility]

I do everything the exact opposite of what FastFox does, no joke.

 

[W4veMantis]

I use L for L-canceling and R for Wavedashing. I always use my index fingers with the shoulder buttons. it feels to weird using my middle fingers.

 

[Elen]

I use L for everything except rolling up from the left edge. I probably subconsiously think that R is for Right lol. But for everything else, L cancelling, shielding, wavedashing, and rolling up from the right edge I use L ^.^

 

[J Flo]

I use R almost always...L-cancelling, wavedashing, airdodging when needed. I use the L trigger only for dodgerolling.

 

[SeishukuSheik]

... I don't think I've ever touched L. Seriously, ever. '_'

I think it'd be too hard for myself to unlearn using R for everything. I recently tried to do stuff with the L trigger 'cause I'm picking up Fox for fun... xD But thank goodness it's for FUN. That L Trigger is crazy. CRAZY.

 

[Razed]

I use L for everything. never use R.

QFT

Also, what's this about not being able to waveshield with one? That's all I can do >.>

 

[Radicalation]

Yeah, I'm one of those that use the R for everything. The only time I use the L at all is if I need to wavedash right after a tech or an l-cancel in which case I l-cancel with r and wavedash with l.

 

[HeltXL]

I use the L trigger for everything. Using R is hard for me... which is odd.

 

[Endless Nightmares]

I think that once you learn how to play a certain way, it's nearly impossible to change it. Like my Ganon for example. I played Ganon vs lvl 9 computers for years, I was at the pinnacle of noob gameplay. I have since change my style for tournament gameplay, but if you see my Ganon play, it's quite evident. I learned how to wavedash with R, and I can't do it any other way.

 

[Banks]

its not impossible, just really hard to break old habits

 

[BlackPanther]

actually i have perfected waveshielding. wavedashing into a shield with only the L button.

i jus hold L right before the click, and then continue to wavedash while holding it down at that point where second function click is.

Yeah it's not that hard, though I haven't perfected it yet lol. My friend said it would be a hell of a lot easier to do stuff like fox's drill to waveshine combos which I could see that as a possibility but I'm so used to just using L now that it would be very hard for me to change. I tried it and I was like screw this.

 

[MVPaintballer]

R for l canceling, WD, tech, roll, everything pretty much
L only for shielding and shield dashing

 

[XZalla]

R - cstick Lcancels
L - waveshield, Nair Lcancels, etc..

 

[Problem2]

I use R for everything

 

[BlackPanther]

Good to know that other people does this. I thought I was a freak for just using only L for all of my moves.
