I've been hearing a lot of people ask me for general tips and basic uses for wavelanding and how they can improve their game. I'm going to make an amateur guide for those who are just learning the basics.
We all know, wavelanding off of a platform and reverse up airing is a fantastic form of edgeguarding. (Thanks Tipman)
I'd like to share how I got very good at wavelanding, trust me its not hard! just practice!
Wavelanding with Ganon does a lot for his metagame, increases speed, spacing, mind games, and one of the funnest things in ssbm. I'd like to share this with everyone in hopes they can learn perfect wavelands in a few very simple steps.
Lets start things off with the basics.
Step 1: Go to Dreamland.
Step 2: The Platforms on the left and right side go perfect with ganons regular first jump, so at the height of your jump hold side ways which ever direction you perfer and hit L/R.
Step 3: After getting a firm hold on the timing of step 2, the platform in the middle is higher goes perfect with ganons full jump. So, jump twice then immiedately hold side ways then hit L/R in your peferred direction.
Step 4: once you have the basic idea of how it ganons animations go from landing ect, try this on other stages, after awhile you should be landing every stage with ease. Regardless of moving platforms (Fountain of Dreams) After some time you should be able to sight read those as well.
After learning this, I learned the basic signs for when you can do these wavelands. The body animations and so fourth. To the point I can do perfect wavelands on any stage very well. Take This for Reference.
Wavelanding from the ledge
This took me a little while to get down and today I still mess it up time to time. I think the easiest way is to play on the ledge a little, hit down/back and jump continue to grab and release the ledge until you have a comfortable rhythm. After that start jumping on to the stage. Once you have that timing down let go of the ledge, jump immediately, then hold straight Right/Left depending where you are and hit L/R.
Reverse Wavelanding (from ledge - to stage - back to ledge)
I hear a lot of people have problems doing this technique, with a little practice you should be able to get it with ease! To reverse waveland its the same as wavelanding onto the stage just hit the other direction. It takes more precision and technical skill but once you get it down its fairly useful.
Example:
Reverse waveland jump back onto the stage with an f air (much like captain falcons do with the knee)
Thank you for your time and I hope in some way this has been useful.
