This is something you used to see foxes do back in the day but not as much now. M2k was doing it a little bit to hbox today at paragon iirc so you could check those vids out. But yeah puff's tech roll is sub par so it's pretty easy to react to in a match with a little experience.
There are 2 types of shield di: Shield sdi and shield asdi, which both work similarly to their normal counterparts. For example to shield sdi right, you smash input right during shield hitlag. The differences are that shield [A]SDI moves you about half the length of the normal A/SDI and shield A/SDI is (naturally) restricted to horizontal values.
It's easiest if you use c stick up to jump out of shield, cause then you can just immediately move your finger to the b button. You just have to shine on the fourth frame after you jump. Too early the shine won't come out, too late it will be airborne. Just practice and you'll get the timing.
Yes thank you that will help
The hardest part for me was not getting the actual shine out of shield, it was learning to link it into a waveshine upsmash or thunders combo, thats where is is really hard but also the most useful
You are jumping too fast after shining because once you hit something you will go through a few frames of hitlag, so your jump input is mostly likely being eaten up during that time.
I think shdl is best with y>b, but easiest with tap jump
I'm not 100% sure but probably run into shine. However, you can't crouch out of a dash so it does need to be a full run to be able to do this
That's just a normal waveshine, it combos into itself on a handful of characters. And yeah on Peach you can 0-death her with waveshines, though it can get hard if they SDI really well.
It's two shine wd into walk -> shine wd dash jump shine (to get behind peach) -> wd backwards turn dash jump shine wd shine.
Shadow boxing in the clearest form is doing movement patterns alone, imagining how an opponent might react to what you are doing and taking steps to counter and just thinking like that infinitely.
I just use a normal hand position. It's not too hard to just move your thumb from y to b quickly
I just hold the controller normally and swipe quickly from Y to B. I used to switch to claw as well, but I realized that it is easier to just hold it regularly.
If you do at random, then they probably won't catch on. For example, something I do on Battlefield. At the start of the match, if my opponent drops from the platform onto the main stage, I'll drop down and do a quick Illusion their way, then follow up with an up-tilt into something. Works everytime unless I **** up or do it too often on the same guy, lol.
Actually I think it was a great decision. Not that it's something you should try often of course, as everyone has said, however I do think it is good as a mixup. He probably knew that it would catch him off guard and he wouldn't SDI out in time.
For lower level players, probably. But experienced players would more than likely react on the spot.
