Anybody else stuck with nasty Melee habits?

[Iamthemovie]

I know I do

Attempting to wavedash
Directional Air Dodging
Jump Cancelling grabs
L Cancel every my every move

Yeah... I can't think of any more but I still do these when they have no effect in Brawl. Need to break the habit.

i was never any good at those advanced techs anyways, i'm like the definition of a casual player. but a good one =].
the only thing i find myself ATTEMPTING to do is directional air dodge

 

[Kinlap]

I often try to wavedash when I play as a veteran (Marth says hi), but I usually play mainly as newcomers so it doesn't come to my mind as much. I still try to air dodge directionally like champion, and sometimes get me killed because of it. I also still try to L-cancel my aerials quite a bit, but it's slowly going away. Thankfully, I think i got rid of my mental reflex to jump cancel every grab, and replaced it with shield cancels.

Its pretty annoying, I think I can wavedash then all of a sudden I do an airdodge, and I'm like crap, but it doesn't happen so often.
But trying to L-cancel, is too hard, I can't seem to stop doing that every time I do aerials.
I think I can airdodge to whatever direction.
And when I use Link or Samus, I think I can still grab into a wall with Z

 

[raptorbaby10]

Directional air dodging for me.

 

[cnza]

I basically keep doing all of those, and it is very irritating because I can't seem to break the habit.
It sucks that I can't L-cancel in Brawl D:

 

[AquaTech]

I try to airdodge in different directions.

I keep trying to dashdance right before I go in for a grab, and usually end up running away in the wrong direction, or simply running straight into them...

You can't L-cancel in Brawl.

But I find myself trying to do it.

You seem to Directional airdodge with characters that have good Air DI like Squirtle or Toon Link, and I always go "WTF How am I doing that.I'm cheating!"

But it doesnt really help that I'm still playing Melee...

 

[Gary]

Yeah, I still have melee habits. The worst is trying to airdodge onto the stage, which makes me pass the ledge under the stage and I can't recover. I also still try to l-cancel :/

 

[IGN Forums]

cool thread!!.........

 

[HyperTheHedgehog]

Sometimes when i try to speed up I start to lcancel

 

[Sculelos]

I did those things the first day and occasionally I still try to do something from Melee but my habits have been broken. I don't see myself playing Melee or 64 smash hardly at all now since Brawl is a huge improvement on both of them.

 

[iron blade]

At first I kept trying to L-Cancel but I've stopped now.

 

[Iamthemovie]

Oh yeah and I can't seem to stop holding down while also Cstick down for a CC Dsmash (for those who don't know, holding down on the analog stick and csticking down will result in a Dtilt)
Is it true that CC doesn't exist anymore or is not as effective?

 

[WaffleGuyPerson]

Just the directional air dodging. I could never L-Cancel that well. Oh and dashdancing, like actual dashdancing.

 

[Tin]

Because I was a Peach player, I am sometimes still stuck with the nasty habit of Crouch Cancel to Dsmash...which results in a Dtilt.

 

[Tristan_win]

Shino stall and needle canceling is extremely bad habits I have to break with my Sheik. I also need to break my habit of trying to L cancel every aerial but that isn't really as big of a problem.

 

[Brainiac_man]

I kicked L-Cancel and wavedashing habits as a preparation of sorts for Brawl, I still try to air dodge directionally from time to time, oddly enough JCG never crossed my mind after getting Brawl. Oh, and now I can't hit a f***ing thing with Falco's Short Hop-Dair-Spike.

 

[The Executive]

Because I was a Peach player, I am sometimes still stuck with the nasty habit of Crouch Cancel to Dsmash...which results in a Dtilt.

Same here, although I spent two weeks in Melee replacing that with F-air spamming in preparation for Brawl.

Also, every time I WD'd or L-canceled I struck myself in the head with a large, blunt object.'

Now, not only to I not use Melee techs, I've forgotten what they are! (And have cranial swelling...)

 

[AznHalfCaucasian]

At first try to wavedash and all that mumbo jumbo..... The directional air dodge kills me too. Got to learn more about Brawl.

 

[Redknight7]

the whole playing style needs to be changed. it seems like the guy on the defensive has the advantage because ot the quickness the shield drops, the no lag after being hit while shielded, and the crappy grap/throws with most characters.

 

[Riolu]

Directional air dodging. I've SD so many time because of that.

 

[6footninja]

Actually, I find myself attemping to direct air dodge every once in a while.

 

[joeysmash]

i never did any GLICHES (its what they were, cept l cancalling) so now i kick every i know really hard in the ***

 

[AKC12]

CC'ing, but I'm surprised I haven't done that too much
JC grabs, but not doing that much now...
A lil L canceling, especially w/Ganondorf... Starting to stop now.

 

[ExplosiveDuck]

I still try and L-Cancel at every landing, and I played Falco in Melee a ton, so no matter who I am in Brawl I'm still into the habit of Short-Hop Lasering everywhere. Which results in a lot of terrible homing attacks with Sonic..

 

[The Executive]

Blunt force trauma helps all who still struggle with Melee ghosts.

 

[xX NJs2RAW Xx]

I still try 2 L-cancel every aireal. I dont think i will ever break that habbit.

 

[The Executive]

Once you get f-smashed into oblivion enough, you will learn. Fret not. friend.

 

[Battousai780]

No need to break the habit of L-cancelling. I'm going to continue doing it forever. 1) Because I don't wanna lose being able to do it. 2) Because it shows people that you played Melee and often they respect you more.

 

[Firesoul1]

Nope not for me. I approach this game with an open mind, so i open myself to news ideas. Yet i do dash-dance a little.

 

[56Ace]

I always try to l cancel or directional air dodge back on to the level and wind up dying

 

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

DI air dodges and L-Canceling for me.

 

[6futs]

The only problem I have is adjusting to PK thunder 2. My friend always played Ness in melee and I played G&W. You used to be able to hit them just before it ended, but now it has to be completely done.

 

[Phocks]

And when I use Link or Samus, I think I can still grab into a wall with Z

You can still do it with Samus. Not sure about Link though.

Anyway, the only technique I ever still find myself trying to do is directional airdodging, and the occasional wavedash.

On the other hand, I seem to be getting pretty good at grabbing items during attacks. Don't know if you could do it in Melee, but I'm really picking up on it now.

 

[Flake]

i still attempt to wavedash sometimes
directional airdodging, definitely
i've died more than once becuase of that

 

[Mario_ 101]

Not really any for me, though I did try to wd once and ended up jumping into airdodge.
