Does anyone else still have trouble...

Falling through effing platforms?

I find myself at the beginning of matches and during matches all the times dry humping platforms lmao. It seems like the actual input to fall through a platform is not actually straight down on the analog stick but more of a hooking motion. For some reason I always forget to hook and just try straight down.

Eventually I'll drop through but I'm still not 100% clear on how to consistently drop through platforms. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it something I should actually dedicate some practice time to? I'm actually going to practice it regardless seeing as I'm constantly opening myself up by not being able to drop consistently, just wondering if I'm the only one.

if you land on platforms from the air, you get extra frames where you cant drop, you need to isai drop/shield drop etc. It can mess people up if they dont know about it. Straight down works.

You are either doing it too slow (It should be similar to the motion of for a down smash or a dash but downward) or your controller is no good.

Let your stick go back to neutral before you try to fall though.
