Start running and then jump. Let go of your control stick and hit B then hit down immediatly after you hit b.

That shouldn't happen if you only hit B once. This is the sequence (in greater detail):

1. Run forward
2. Short hop
3. While you are still rising, return the stick to neutral and hit B. The forward momentum should keep you going in your original direction of travel.
4. (optional) Hit down on the control stick to fastfall the laser
5. Hit the ground.

Now you are in a position to repeat the process all over again.

Does that help at all?

if you're shooting a laser then shining it's because you hit b again when you landed.
try just shooting the laser without fastfalling until you get a basic feel for it. then move on to the next step.
it's a pain to learn (it took me about a month to do it consistently) but it's well worth the effort.
good luck:)

I think you should just press B really fast and let it go ... dont let it pressed a while, just tap it fast, or just dont press it again. :S

practice? these are all problems most people have encountered at one point, just don't post another topic when you can't reverse short hop laser... seriously we have guides stickied, other topics no need for threads like this.

ive never had a problem moving with the shl once i learned how to do it. i used to only be able to do it in place till my pal loki was like just dash before you do it. and yea so you dash, you press b, you hit down, you dash, press b, hit down, etc. its exactly like doing it in place but do a dash before doing it.
