Double?

You're supposed to shorthop then press down b like immediatly after, so theres no jumping animation whatsoever. Then youll shine your way towards wisdom

Slide your thumb from left c to b (while pressing down on the stick) for the fastest shines.
I use this method as well. It's nice because it's also applicable for short hop aerials, like marios SH dair uair. Slide you thumb from C-down to A whilst holding a direction/neutral for nair. The timing is the same for shine, though you don't have to short hop the shine cancel, so you can push it harder. I kind of clip the bottom left portion of C-down when doing shorthops, then slide to A. Thats the ingenious thing about something seemingly useless such as 4 C buttons. It's also why the 64 controller's buttons are better for smash than the gc troller's, imo. Proximity to other key buttons, like distance from A/B -> any C button versus A/B -> y/x, specifically the B placement, even more so if you use x to jump.

So I was Falcon dittoing ballin the other day and I used upsmash more than I normally would have solely because in his commentary he talked about how effective it was against him

Watching game tapes for the win heh

Try baiting the upsmash and punishing the lag instead of getting hit everytime he uses it when you're close by >_>

He did it everytime to escape pressured situations, like if you were right next to him after he teched in place.

For the videos with commentary, could you start uploading commentary-less versions? Maybe you could number them, like 123 and 123c (c for "with commentary).

I mean, it's awesome that you upload videos at all, it's just that most of the time I don't want to listen to commentary.

I mean, I have them in both formats on my computer, but uploading duplicate videos seems like it would get confusing.

^^^ yes.
It's better if you take people advices to see which one they chose with C or w/o C.
