Yeah the point is I sincerely doubt anyone can consistently do a regular shield drop in 1 frame, which is fairly easy with this technique.ya, i guess you are right, you can hold forward, then delay the drop
You're falling through with light-shield (analog trigger function) and completing the trigger depression to the digital function. You don't need to press the trigger all the way down. You can, but if you do you should do it faster so you won't accidentally air dodge.When doing this I will sometimes do a shield drop then immediately airdodge (not intentionally). What am I doing wrong?
It's shai dropBetter name: Platform Drop
<3It's shai drop
I would go bananas if I witnessed that happen.Powershielded a samus charged shot with this into a wavedash upsmash on fountains lower platform.
Both hit one after the other it was like watching fox's upsmash go super saiyan.
You don't need to use this to do that though, jumping cancels the shield dropping animation, so you can just powershield->wavedash into usmash and it's just as fast.Powershielded a samus charged shot with this into a wavedash upsmash on fountains lower platform.

You mean Nana? I generally assume "Popo" refers to the main Ice Climber regardless of whether the lead climber for your particular color is Nana or Popo. I think this is the general convention to avoid confusion. But yeah, Nana gets confused by all kinds of techniques. I haven't really tried this with ICs but I think it would be a little different because Nana's shield doesn't come up until 6 frames after Popo's, meaning if you drop through the platform within the first six frames she will just stay there. Then again there are some tactics for which Nana's commands are buffered, so it may still be possible and you could just be doing it wrong. Don't have my gamecube with me or I'd test it out.this is kind of nice trick but doesn't really want to work with me for getting popo to drop sometimes he gets stuck up there.
I think he means that he powershielded while dropping through the platform then wavelanded into the upsmash but I could be wrong.You don't need to use this to do that though, jumping cancels the shield dropping animation, so you can just powershield->wavedash into usmash and it's just as fast.
Now that I'm done playing negative nancy, you get major props for me for repping fox in such an awesome way.
Awesome. I never see people doing this except me at tournaments. People must not read the Melee boards that much but maybe in another six months people will finally learn about this by word of mouth.haha at the tournament yesterday i was repping this tech full force, i was also shield dropping -> bair a lot. i heard a few people say "lovage does weird stuff with his shield..." haha
i also taught a few people who asked me about it
I totally forgot that thread existed. I even posted in it lol. However the methods posted weren't really correct, including my own, so I think this thread is still relevant. In particular this thread presents a method for doing the dash platform shield drop instantly, which I don't think has been addressed anywhere previously.
Yeah I was only half-serious when I suggested "Shai drop" and don't really expect anyone to call it that. But I wonder why Scar gets to to name instant wall-jumping Scar jumping when he didn't discover it. Probably because he's more popular than I am?nice find but naming a technique after yourself is not usually the way it happens...
