Great job! I've been using Right Stick up then quickly down right or left for the shimmy fade but it has not been very consistent. Now I know I can just go Right Stick left then quickly right or vice versa to get a more consistent animation. Looking forward to that face-up video man! That pump fake into an escape dribble jumper is going to be so deadly. Also, I noticed you use a different shooting bar, would you say it's helped you master times better than the default one? Do you play on jump shot timing on the default of late or have you moved it too early?

Thank you Joshua, I'm glad this was helpful!! Yes, that KD video is going to be a good one!! I'm still playing around with different release timings and shot meters to see where I settle at.

@@KevinCruz016 I’ve been trying to stay at the default bar and late timing but mannnnn it’s got my timing all over the place. I may switch it to early though and test that.

@KevinCruz016 Жыл бұрын
No you can also do this with your back to the basket. So always point the right stick directly towards the basket. So for example with your back to the basket on the right side of the floor, you want to either double tap the right stick up-left towards the basket, or tap square and hold the left stick up-left.

Cancelling animations means interrupting the animation out of a previous input. In this case while holding L2 + R2 and tapping the RS to the left, which initiated a post spin fake, I immediately tapped square and held the left stick away from the basket to interrupt the spin fake. So as soon as the spin fake animation starts you want to immediately input your stepback jumper input!
