It takes time to learn to play 1.2 properly. If anything you should learn to play keyboard-style over the C Buttons on your controller with your right hand.
Here's how that works;
So basically you're holding the controller normally with your left hand, and your right hand controls everything else. Your right pinky controls the c-right button, your ring finger controls c-up and c-down, your middle finger controls the c-left button, and your index finger controls the A and B buttons. Pressing the R Button while playing is another matter, however. If you've ever played games like Half-Life (CounterStrike) on your computer you should be familiar with most of this.
Nice Runway improvements as well. Go for 24!
And if you can, get your parents to set up a VCR for you so you can record, and get some blank tapes. That's how you make vids. (If you have a webcam you can play back your tapes and record the TV Screen like Saint Shang does with his Aztec vids.)
