Are you talking about predicting Fox's jumping patterns on platforms and then intercepting him with a jump shine? I thought that was a PP thing. Then again I've watched him play Falco/Fox far more than Mango
yea ur noob.
this is very true, but fox can also do the same exact thing with his shine. knocking falco down gives fox such a huge advantage relative to a standing/lasering/gay falco.kirbykaze said:
I'd have to play around with it, but Falco's jump is fast (traveling vertically) so I could see the timing being tricky. Shining defensively is also awkward because of the shine's change to fall speed although maybe you could get a cheat evade this way too. I'm really unsure, though.
I agree and disagree with this. I think Falco shining Fox out of the air (above platform height) is way more likely to create a combo for Falco than it would for Fox. Fox shining Falco makes Falco hit the ground level and that gives him some time to tech stand and Fox has all that distance to travel to hit the ground.

i dont think that would be the safest time to do it, let alone very safe in general. theyd be expecting an attack as one of your primary possibilities of action in that situation, since it would be very beneficial if successfully executed then.
Yea thats what I meant. While hitting them.
I saw Mango do it first, but basically that.
Using your old Shell (ie L and R shells, Z shell, controller Shells, Button shells) helps a ton for breaking in a controller.Is there a preferred method of "breaking in" a controller? Or is just constant play the best?
bust out them mario party games.........Is there a preferred method of "breaking in" a controller? Or is just constant play the best?
does it really make a huge difference? Im an X jumper and i tried to learn how to jump with Y and i couldnt do it. cant imagine how hard it would be to learn to use up.
from my experience it makes ome trhings easier and some things harder
it's better to "learn" your new controller rather than try to break it in
your brain subconsciously modifies your fingers as you play, molding your muscle memory so you get the correct outputs on the screen. your body wants to adjust to whatever's in your hands, because you value the correct tech skill. YOU can change MUCH faster than your controller.
even if your muscle memory stays 100% intact, and you stubbornly stick to all the old button pressing methods from your old controller
you're still handicapping yourself if you do anything to "break in" your new controller outside of the game, since every time you come back to it, it's essentially "new." it's almost like using a different borrowed controller every time you play. this defeats the purpose!
tech skill is learning your contoller. the point of practice is to become so familiar with your controller that you don't need to think about the "right" way to press the buttons to get the desired effect. it just happens naturally, because it's what you're familiar with. it's MUCH easier for your to adjust to your controller than it is for your controller to adjust to you.
your muscle memory is more plastic
I never found short hopping with the control stick hurtful to the thumb. Its quiet relaxing IMO.
I would be very surprised if this were true.
