I used to have a control stick for the C-stick. It made some obscure ICs desynchs easier, things requiring I press Y, C, and A at the same time (I claw) but for other characters it made accidental presses more common so I got rid of it. Also used to have a Wii Classic stick for the main...

Secret techniques, eh? You should share the knowledge :) The buffer/shield stun stuff may not have been in the OP (don't remember) when first posted but as of the last update (Dec 08) it was, and I had mentioned it briefly in a post a few down from the first. But you're right it was very...

@ S2J: They have different uses, if you want to drop through the platform while dashing around use Method 1 or Method 2. Method 2 is two frames faster but more difficult (and controller-dependent). I would advocate Method 1 as it's pretty easy to do consistently and not controller-dependent...

I agree, I would feel weird asking for a sticky, doesn't seem important enough =/ I'll see if I can get it in the Everything thread though.

As far as I know I did "invent" (discover is more accurate) Shai dropping, which at the time I called dash platform dropping. The first time I mentioned how to do it on Smashboards was in 2007, though I made the thread some months later. And AFAIK there was no mention of how to do this technique...

You might have a point if Shai dropping were difficult, but it isn't, so I don't really get why so many people don't know how to do it. I mean, moonwalking is significantly more difficult IMO and everyone learned how to do that, even though it's not that useful. In particular Method 1 is easy to...

To me the uses seemed obvious and so there was no point going into much detail, though perhaps I should have. What people didn't seem to know was how to do it, the technical part, so my explanations were quite thorough. Method 3 in my thread is OOS. Maybe you didn't understand the description...

You actually don't need a triwing, a 2mm flathead will work, and these are easier to find locally. Though if I were you I'd just buy a triwing on amazon, you can get one for $5 - $10 including shipping. Soft-Serve, it probably won't matter if it's 30FPS, supposedly the human eye can't detect...

There seems to be a lot of confusion about Shai Drop / shield drop. I found the post Leffen was referencing and I have described all of these methods before, either in this thread or the one I made four years ago, which I linked in the OP. Shield drop refers to dropping through while...

Method 1 has been known for at least six or seven years, and Methods 2 - 4 have been described previously by myself, first several years ago and again recently in much more detail. I guess nobody reads my threads. :(

This is mostly accurate, but Method 3 is OOS, you just need to be holding a direction that registers as "forward" (or "backward" though this is less useful) before inputting SW or SE to avoid the roll. So if you were walking, running, tilting "forward" while landing, etc., before shielding you...

Disappointing response given the time I put into this, don't think I'll bother with a video. :ohwell:

If you have spare controllers you can easily replace the entire L trigger with one from another controller. There are a few different trigger designs in different versions of GC controllers though, and they may not all be completely interchangeable, but I think they are. The feel of the triggers...

You can put sticks from Wii classic controllers onto GCs. I have done this and it's always been considered legal at tourneys I've been to. There are advantages and disadvantages to using Wii sticks, due to them being longer. Advantages: Tilts are significantly easier. Harder to accidentally...

To Nanapult Popo needs to be doing something after a desynch which is why you can't do it directly out of spot dodge, roll, etc. The fastest ways to do it would be desynchs that make Popo attack first, and there aren't many. I think the quickest way is the reverse ftilt method (Popo ftilts one...
