short hop is basically muscle memories after a while.

It sucks when you play Falco for a while and then you try to go back to Fox and you can only short hop like half the time because you got lazy with the superior blue bird

When I first started to short hop I used my right thumb nail to press the jump button. It's almost impossible to press a button hard with your thumb nail. I think a lot of other people do this at first, too.

My fox would be so good if i could just short hop i feel like no progress is being made. its very sad to watch silent wolf and how he can do anything and there i am trying to short hop hahaha idk if anyone else is laughing but i thought that was funny. because it's true.

Silent Wolf is amazingly technical. I wouldn't be surprised if alot of the stuff he does is actually harder than it looks. I figured he practiced longer than I plan on playing this game lol.
Its a lost cause.

key word is "pretty"
While we're talking about tech skill, does anyone know if silent wolf is an alien with extra muscles in his fingers or some ****, or if he just practiced like all day errhday for 9 years

I'll take that challenge.
Everyone had to start somewhere. Back when Silent Wolf started playing, he couldn't SH either. All good players had to overcome this hurdle, and if you want to get better you will to.
Comparing yourself to players that have been doing this **** for 5+ years is absolutely silly. Especially players that know this character's technical limits inside and out.
The key to shorthopping is pressing the button fast. If you're trying to tap it lightly, well...don't do that. The controller has no pressure pads that differentiate how hard or soft you're hitting the button. A short hop is registered when the controller picks up a quick input on the jump button. You can press Y or X as hard as you like, as long as you do it fast enough. If you keep getting full jumps, you're holding on to the button for too long.

i used to have a lot of trouble short hopping with fox, now i sometimes short hop when i'm trying to full hop.
just sit there and try short hopping over and over and over. shffling with fox is beyond essential, it's mandatory. lol

learning the advanced techniques came hella easy to me cause i came from playing smash bros 64.
the second i touched melee for the first time, i could already short hop and L-cancel. I shffl'd before i knew it was called shffling.

What level?
I've been fighting level 1s to practice...
Is that the best thing to do, or should they be at a higher level?

Do you think lvl 1 cpus have the best combo DI(by having bad survival DI?)? or is it just they dont attack as much and dont **** **** up?
I like to use the name entry trick and put me and the computer on teams, that way they never attack(team attack on). but I dont know what lvl, if any, has the "best" DI.

Everytime I've played Kyu, it's been...well
lol ask Kyu
(I know firsthand)

lvl 1 cpus are mad weird. As Marth vs. lvl 1 Fox/Falco, the space animals will start full d.i.ing uthrows and ALTERNATING left/right which is awesome practice. If you try to go Fox vs. a fastfaller and do the same thing, they NEVER d.i. the uthrow. So sad...and so random.
Like SW said, they don't attack much and act as decent combo dolls for you to throw around. Great practice for thunders.

raynex, what are you doing this weekend? big no johns 
Just don't get grabbed. Ever. If Kyu's on point then a grab means you die (if Nana isn't dead already).

You've only played me in friendlies...
jk, I'm pretty scared of RaynEX and unknown, they're harder for me than pretty much any other Fox I've played. I've gotten better though, and my fox strategy has gotten better, so don't expect an easy match.

yeah Kyu I agree with SW, I will play friendlies but I'm not looking to moneymatch an ICs player with fox
I'll do it with falcon or peach though

You are just afraid that you will lose LOL!

I probably will lose. I suck vs ice climbers. I'm not gonna waste my time looking for some ICs player that in reality I'd just want to avoid lol.

That's a good point. If you were to fight Ice Climbers in a tournament setting, do you have a more comfortable counter-pick? Or are you more likely to try to make it work as fox?
