Some things that Mewtwo can do are harder or impossible to do with the default controls. What are some setups you guys use?
Personally I use R as jump with tap jump off.

I just use the default controls with everyone except Mewtwo, Pit, and Ike.I have two setus: One for Mewtwo and one for everyone else.
Both setups utilize L to jump and X to taunt (footstool). Only Mewtwo's got tap jump off.
What characters have you had success with it with? I'm just really curious.I have used footstool with moderate success, but not really while playing Mewtwo. It's just that I don't use X for jumping anyway, so I felt I might as well move it there, as I would never bother reaching out to the d-pad.
I guess it could be usable at times where you simply don't have time to Dair (say, you teleported right over the opponent), or if need to save your teammate.
With Mewtwo I just wavedash using R to jump and L to airdodge. Very easy and can be done out of shield no problem. And since his wavedash is significantly faster than his dash, I wavedash a lot, and it's pretty comfortable not having to move my thumb to do it like I do with Fox.I have X as shield for a second way to wave dash (and shield). It also makes wave dash out of shield much easier for me.
I have R as jump. I have found this makes float cancelling air attacks much, much easier.
And tap jump is off.
I'm unfamiliar with c-dashing and c-dash moonwalking, or at least those names.I use X for taunt and R for attack. It allows for both easy c-dashing, the c-dash moonwalking, and X to taunt lets you do stupid footstool things.
Ill link you a video later, im on a phone right now. If you search PMdepot (a youtube channel) and look for a c dashing videk its really simple, it involves using the c stick to dash and turn around when holding attack.I'm unfamiliar with c-dashing and c-dash moonwalking, or at least those names.
I've actually tried Z before, but could never get used to it. I can use the trigger for jump just as well as X, probably for two reasons: I've had R set to jump since I knew you could change controls, and I use it for SHTL with Fox in Brawl (which is harder, at least for me, than SHDL in Melee. Melee, not PM). I don't have the springs removed, but the triggers don't click.Hey, Ima rip this post out of where I posted about tap jump and controller setup.
My current setup is
L -> Shield
R-> Attack (Dacus)
Z- Jump - use your right pointer finger (allows thumb to rest near C stick, B, or X for immediate use after jump) This is the most important part of the setup. The placement of jump on the shoulder of the controller allows use of jump with right pointer finger; and special, attack, grab, c-stick with your thumb. As jump is the most important button that will be pressed immediately before many other buttons, this is why it is placed on the shoulder of the controller.
Y--> Grab (jump cancel grab is inputting Z->Y)
X-> attack (the A button could just as easily be attack, this is a relic from a previous controller configuration, but it doesn't matter, the layout is optimized enough that there are spare buttons on the face… lol)
A--> I have this setup as taunt… why? Tauntcancells and footstools? not really, but you don't need all the buttons on the face of the G-cube controller. Feel free to change around the face buttons.
B-> Special (wavebouncing, b-reverse… all are very easy as the jump button (Z) can be pressed with your thumb hovering over B)
C-stick --> normal. Use this for aerials and smashes (for retreating fairs and approaching bairs)
Its essentially similar to what you've got, CeLL, but I'd HIGHLY recommend the switch from R to Z as jump. I believe strongly in having a shoulder button as jump, but I do not feel its as humanly possible to be consistent with a trigger. Do you have your springs removed? that would make it better, but still not Ideal. The Z button takes getting used to, but once you are used to it, theres no problem with it. Jump in combination with a thumb or finger that is prepositioned to input special, aerial, air dodge, etc is so crucial for this game. Im so surprised that many people do not change the default layout. (If you claw, thats perfectly understandable, just clawing can be uncomfortable and cause muscular issues for some).
