Well if the youtube videos didn't help you, try this.

First practice short hop single lasering. Try learning the timing of the single laser well. If you hear the gun make no sound, yet you still shoot a laser, you perfectly timed your shl.

After getting that down, try shooting one laser at the top of your short up, then shoot another one after like your SHL. Make sure you're only pressing the B button twice. Anymore than two times ruins it I believe. So just try and find where to shoot that first laser, then your second one will be silent and perfectly shot. You'll learn the timing and get the feel with practice.

If you quickly double tap B just as you get to the top of your short hop it should work. Modify the timing as needed.

If you've done it a couple times then you clearly know how to do it and your timing is just off most of the time, just practice for gods sake don't come make a thread asking how to do it when you have done it before and understand the button input.
practice perfects moves not asking other people's opinion on how they do it.
we get a new thread like this every other day asking about some move that is clearly explained in the stickies, please think before you post.

Just keep practicing. That's really the only way to get this down. There aren't any secrets to it, it just takes practice like Melee's SHL for Falco did. I couldn't do it at first yet I knew what to do. By the end of my competitive Melee career, it was easy to do. Just practice.

as soon as you jump you need to be thinking of the timing of the lasers the timing is the key when teching any move in this game. Falco lifts up an as soon as his head stops rising you need to be firing off the first last the second needs to come shortly after it, but not too short because it'll go over short characters heads...

Man, I could understand wanting help with the gatling combo or something, but this isn't an advanced tech or anything. Just go into practice and try it a couple of times to get the timing.
