Double shine hitboxes--a question

[Shai Hulud]

If you stand next to your opponent, close but just far enough for your shine to miss, if you JC into a double shine, it will hit.

So what the hell is up with that? Do the hitboxes magically grow on the second shine? And if so, do they continue to grow for triple shines, quadruples, etc.?

 

[Shai Hulud]

Nevermind, I figured it out. When you JC into a shine, the shine moves very slightly in the direction Fox is facing during the opening frames before reverting to the normal position. I suspect this is because the shine comes out before the crouching animation is finished, and JC'ing makes you leave the crouching position.

The hitboxes don't grow; they just move.

Edit: Actually upon further inspection I'm still unsure what's going on. I'll try to figure it out but if anyone already knows I'd appreciate being spared the headache.

this is hardly a find, watch SuperDoodleMan's Perfect Control, where the fox moves using JC shines...

slight di during the jump animation, even though you arent leaving the ground you move in that direction while jcing

^yep what he said,

In your starting Jump state, you have about 3 frames or so where you're grounded, where you can still DI, usmash jc grab etc....
