How much L-Canceling does Jiggz require?

[Orsa]

With the WoP, it seems like very little. I've heard different sides, so I would like to know the popular opinion.

Well I think jiggs doesn't really need Z(L) Cancelling that much because there isn't that much lag with jiggs attacks.

jpp8 note: I have ssb64

Anything that makes jiggs faster helps. Why wouldn't you want to?

agreed. l-cancelling won't hurt you, why not just do it?

Yup. It's a great idea to get in the habit of it. Anything to speed up your game is good.

k, thanks. I was having trouble with it, and since Puff is my only character as of now, I was just wondering.

For aerial WoPs, obviously, you don't need to l-cancel because you never hit the ground, but on grounded WoPs I'm pretty sure it's important.

I'm going to have to agree with the other people in this thread: There's absolutely no reason not to do it. If you mess up a WoP and you weren't l-canceling, maybe you won't be able to get your shield out fast enough to stop that fsmash.

Well I'm kinda lazy and I don't play much competitive smash.

I actually am a huge WoP player but I find myself using Nair and Dair often to get damage up and also fall into some Rest combos later in the game. L-Canceling is a must for Jiggly to keep up to speed.

Since L-canceling actually allows you to use Fairs a LOT more effectively, I'd definately say that it's needed.

I agree with everyone else on this thread. L-canceling is an excellent habbit.

L-canceling is extremely helpful with jiggs. I use it a lot when I am trying to combo someone but I don't have time to get a second jump, a L-cancel saves you a bunch of time especially when your landing 3 or 4 times. And as everyone else said it is an excellent habit to get into and its not that hard to learn.

WoP is terrible w/ Jiggs. I suggest [instead of LCing] Dair-->Dsmash..

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Less L cancelling than most characters, because you're not hitting the ground as often. Still necessary, for those times when you do need to reach the ground again.. Also useful for rest combos.

100%.

Especially against fast characters like the top tier...

L-Canceling is essential for every character, even Peach. There is no point in not learning it, besides laziness. If you don't L-cancel with Jiggs, prepare to be CC into oblivion. CC into Down smash, CC into jump-canceled grab. You'll get wrecked unless you are EXTREMELY patient and have excellent spacing. And even then, you'll get predictable if you keep backing off to avoid getting CC'ed, and you'll end up getting pwnt, ggkthnxbye.

In certain instances you should'nt L-cancel, because you'll throw your shield up. For example, if you short hop, and nair immediatley, the move ends right as you hit the ground, basically auto-canceling (as long as you don't fast fall). Only l-cancel when you do a move close enough to the ground that you know there will be lag. Otherwise you may throw your shield up and get pwnt, seeing as how grabs **** Jiggs (sans Falco and lower tiers).

L canceling makes your character faster why wouldn't use use it with everyone of her attacks, hell i even use it for pound
