[joeplicate]

conor you ****

why did you bump this thread like 10 minutes before i did
what are you on about

 

[ConnorTheKid]

I just read the section on manuevering out of shield because a lot of foxes (mostly Oscar) make me scared when they hit my shield.

I'm probably gonna read the part about ledge options tomorrow. Peach hanging on the ledge is horrible

 

[joeplicate]

oh

i was reading it for mixing it up/trying new **** in friendlies, which i don't do enough

and practicing tech skill

my shai drops are on point

i'm so tired tho -~-


****
i set up my SMASH BLOG
expect a post TOMORROW

 

[Adam M!]

you can shai drop? ugh i dun wanna hafta learn that

 

[joeplicate]

yeah

it's not like if you don't learn to shai drop, you'll be left in the dust or anything like that
but if you like practicing, then it's really hard to get down and really satisfying once you do

i think it would be about 3x as useful for falco

 

[DJMirror]

Hmmm I wonder if it's useful for Marth...

 

[Deleted member]

shai drop ***** because most people roll the over direction if you are on a platform and in most cases you can only reach them if you shai drop

don't feel like sitting down and practicing it though

 

[joeplicate]

with marth (and a lot of other floaty characters) I think shai drops are really good for punishing missed techs

shai drop uair could potentially be useful in those situations

plus super sexy

How is shield dropping any different than dropping below pressing down consistently?

Serious business post.

 

[pockyD]

i think it has to do with doing it mid-dash

i find it much easier to do running shield drops by doing

dash -> straight down on the control stick -> shield

as opposed to

dash -> shield -> 45 degree angle down

I used to use the latter, but my consistency with it increased a lot once I started just doing the first way.

Axe is the other way around.

Different strokes, I guess.

Thanks Tai and pockyd.

It sounds like it really is only useful for cancelling dashing, rather than being faster.

Shield dropping sounds pretty rigged for dropping through platforms against character who try to pressure your shield. Unless they are Fox or Falco.

 

[joeplicate]

it's not u tai i think smashboards is being gay

and technically when you shield drop your aerials came come out 3 frames faster or something

i figure shai dropping is good for spacing
