Is there any special trick to detaching the potentiometers when removing a stickbox? I've had a couple of them break when messing around with spare controllers. I want to be able to perform maintenance on my main controller without risking damage.

It works at 0 vs spacies. If they DI behind you then you need to hit a pretty tight window with dash back->jc upsmash, but it works. It is definitely guaranteed vs falcon, tho not at zero. I don't know when it starts but i'd guess ~20 or so.

Waveshine nair is actually pretty good vs some characters once they are at knockdown percent. Depends if you prefer going for a techchase or hunting them as they descend from a launcher. Definitely avoid using it at lower % or you might get grabbed and die. It's also pretty good at the ledge as...

Yeah I've come to the same conclusion after some more testing. I found that the windowfor fox to N-PS a standing falco laser varies from 1 to 3 frames depending on the positioning, and the window for a Z-PS varies from 2 to 4 frames. There is only a small range of positions where the N-PS window...

I am definitely doing Z-PS. The one where you buffer A and then press Z and R on the same frame. I tested a bit more and I think I understand what is going on. When I Z-PS a frame too early the laser is connecting with the lightshield bubble before it reaches the PSS. If I just do a regular DP...

I'm a little bit confused about the utility of z-powershielding. I was under the impression that it would serve as a complete replacement for ordinary powershielding vs projectiles, but some quick tests indicate that sometimes z-powershielding actually has a smaller window than powershielding...

The hitbox on foxes upb goes away for roughly 10 frames right before he starts moving. If you can time your jump arc so that you overlap opponent fox during that window then it is extremely easy to time the shine.

vs jiggs specifically you need to practice upthrow upair. I saw you miss that several times in the first minute of the video and it is really important. You should know that the length of your throw animation depends on the weight of the character you are throwing, so vs jiggs the animation is...

y->b is probably the best method, but it probably doesn't make that much of a difference which one you use. A useful trick is to hold a shield button when you do repeated double lasers. This has no effect if you don't mess up, but it makes it impossible to accidentally do standing lasers...

He definitely is timing it to hit when the fire hitbox goes away (I asked him in person). It is a 10 frame window. The way he sets it up is he jumps and starts to fall from above them, and then he reacts to the position of their upb by fastfalling at a different time depending on the height.

The inputs you described are exactly correct. Basically you should think of it as pressing away/down and then instantly doing a wavedash forward. As far as practicing, I used the ledge in the middle of hyrule temple when I first learned to ledgedash because it makes it quicker to try again after...

Yes on Yoshi's, no on BF.

Fulljump nair over his lasers and then shine to knock him down. Then try to guess/read whether he will roll or get up attack and grab him. Then upthrow upsmash.

You can nair missiles and they will explode without hitting you. It's way better than shielding them or having to try to dodge them every time.

That is too slow. The extra time you spend turning around puts them farther away by enough that walk->upsmash won't reach them before they land.
