i like the idea of angling down instead of angling forward when you're anticipating pressure on the platform. i don't like holding shield on the platform with the intention of shield drop aerialing (i'm marth) though. i feel like this is mostly useful for fox/falco sheik/falcon.

@ELStalky2 жыл бұрын
I have always used a timing based method. At two specific frames (4 and 5 I think) after starting to angle the shield, the entire lower section of the stick range shield drops. It is a bit inferior to some other methods but does not require hardware or software mods, so I could use it before those existed/were allowed.

i had a romp through my city's smash scene for a while & ended up hating the game due to the non-technically intuitive nature of the game's inputs (not a fan of analogue inputs at all), & had more fun switching to traditional fighting games for a proper input buffer experience. you going through & explaining these techniques & how they can realistically be implemented within melee's input buffer & controller (albeit with mods) is very inspiring, as it colours the game in a light contrasting to the mess that it is from my eyes.
@firstlast-wg2on2 жыл бұрын
It’s hard to get into melee because the lack of buffer really takes a long time to get used to. You have to press buttons frame perfectly at so many points otherwise your inputs get eaten during other animations, I remember so often I’d wavedash, and then try dash dance and I’d just be pivoting left and right lol

Can I shut off roll when I'm already shielding? Or do I have to shut off roll prior to my shield going up?
@TheChucknoxus2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't call this a different shield drop method. This is just tilting your shield to cover your feed and then still performing the axe method normally.
@Rael05052 жыл бұрын
Axe method is dashing into shield stop shield drop. This method is different because it’s shield tilt into shield drop. Doesn’t require a dash shield stop first. I would say they’re different methods. I’ve been shield dropping this way for over a year and I honestly dislike the Axe shield drop method.

So recently I discovered that double jumping quickly is actually shorter than your full hop and can have alot of uses for attacking top Plat. Is this something that most people know about? Or should I attempt to make a post or video of some sort detailing it?
@ethanharmon12282 жыл бұрын
I'm aware of this, but it's a bad habit I need to get out of. it's faster, but getting hit out of it leaves you without a jump and that's a pretty bad spot to be in. double jump is sacred
@ThePsymonator2 жыл бұрын
It is commonly known, especially for falco players as instant double jumping is necessary for combing floaties. Doing it in neutral is a bad habit, and it can be risky at times.

Risky in neutral because if you get hit with no DJ by a launcher, you're gonna get juggled forever or eventually carried off the stage
