Using only the L or the R button

[Thino]

R - wavedash and stuff
L - shield , L-cancel and everything else

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this, but if you reset the controller with L or R pushed down, you can make it so that it only registers when it's fully depressed. This can make powershielding easier because you can hold it almost all the way in anticipation, and just click it at the right time instead of slamming down all the way in 1 frame.
Yeah and I use L for most things, and R for what I just mentioned.

I only use R. Don't know why, it's just easier for me to react with R.

i use L for everything, works fine for me. i was gonna use R to wd cus i thought it would help for waveshielding. then i realized that i play peach and it wasnt worth my time haha. since then i've learned to waveshield with L, you could probably remove the whole R trigger and my game wouldnt change heh

R for wavedashing, R for l cancelling. I use L occasionally to shield, but if I want to powershield I use R for that too.. R FTW!!!

Yeah, I'm basically on the same boat as almost everyone else. I use R for just about everything except L-cancelling and shielding...

I use R for everything. I never ever touch the L button. I acually can't wavedash out of shield right now, and I'm noticing how much that sucks, lol. Since I physically cannot use the L button (my brain just refuses to press that button), I'm going to have to learn to do that with one shoulder button.

EDIT: I lied, I acualy use L for stepdodging (I press down and L). I'm starting to use the C-stick for rolls and stepdodges now, so soon it'll be R for those too.

L for L-canceling and shieldind and R for everything else. Definitely CANNOT wavedash with L.

I'm a lefty, and for me I don't use the R button at all; in fact, I don't use my right index finger for Smash unless I'm JC grabbing.

i wonder if right and left handedness makes a difference....hmmm

It probably does. As does the buttons that are used for other things. Though, I do everything different from everyone else anyway so it doesn't really matter.
