FOX: How to improve my Forward "Wave Shine" combo?

[Smilez]

Hi all. This is my first post on this site so as an intro, name's Smilez out of S. Florida(Coral Spring/Tamarac2 be exact) I've started to learn a lot of the Advanced techniques in SSBM wave shining, wall teching, wave landing, infinites, etc etc. But I'm continuing to have trouble w/ my forward wave shine combo. I can do the actual move consistently across the stage but when it comes to actually combo-ing and opponent even a comp they all ways seems to slide out of reach(I'm aware that you can't combo all characters). With exception of "Link" I can't seem to reach the opponent in time for the follow up wave shine to continue the combo.

Ok, so basically the question is what should I do to improve my wave shine combo?

I understand that it takes a lot practice but if anyone could give me any pointers or areas to focus on it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

It is because you are not wavedashing far enough. Try and angle the stick so that is at a pretty much 45 degree angel..if you don't wavedash right you won't catch a lot of characters. Try this on Link, Peach, Zelda, Falcon, and other characters that don't fall over when shined and have around the same traction.

exactly what hylian said try to get a perfect wavedash. sometimes you even have to take a step or two after the wavedash to get the distance.

practice on characters you can waveshine like bowser,Ganondorf,Captain Falcon in training mode.
