How can you consistently do forward tilt instead of dash attack/jab attack?

I find myself dashing ALL THE TIME with the sticks.... honestly would using keyboard be easier? I never figured out how to do this in smash until I binded the second stick for tilt attacks just so I can do it instead of dashing/jabbing by accident... but no one has told me if that's possible in this game, so I'm just assuming I have to figure it out in this game?

if you make a custom control set you can bind "attack" to right stick, and then change "strong" (aka smash attacks) to another button, I have an Xbox controller with B and Right Stick set to attack and RB set to strongs.

There's a checkbox which allows you to do it the way smash has done it (If you hold a direction and the attack button down at the same time, it attacks), so that isn't a problem for me really. But if it does end up costing me, I can change it easily considering we don't have grabbing in this game.

As for setting the stick to attack, I kind of assumed doing that would make it do jab attacks or dash attacks, but if it only does tilt attacks then my problems are solved? If that's the case then thanks, and if it isn't well... still not really sure how to fix my controls to perform tilt attacks instead of misinputting dash/jab attacks

If you flick your control stick down out of a sprint and then input your tilt you'll get the tilt and not the dash attack. Same as in smash. Just be careful not to start dashing again if you try for an ftilt/fstrong.

I use attack stick, so my input is dash (control stick), then tilt (control stick down, tilt stick in tilt direction I want).
