Have you broken your habit of L-canceling?

[LinkyMC]

Anyone here still accidently L cancel in brawl? I do, somtimes i dont even notice that im doing it.

 

[LouisLeGros]

no I got over that fairly quickly. I still do try to do a lot of jump canceled grabs though.

 

[Tatsujinken]

I was only stuck in the habit for the first 3 matches or so of Brawl. I got over it pretty quick.

 

[Eldiran]

It's pretty much out for me, though I have some trouble resisting the impulse when it comes to doing a down air stab with Link.

 

[quinn95]

I got ever it in about two days. i guess i am just lucky.

 

[Luz]

I still futilely push R almost every time I land from an attack. It's really frustrating

 

[Collective of Bears]

I never learned how to l-cancel

 

[Mechageo]

I'm over L-Cancelling, but I keep trying to Crouch Cancel.

 

[Kirby M.D.]

Sometimes I attempt to L-Cancel a laggy attack, I've tried to WD with Weegee and the ICs (which actually makes for a nice Triangle Jump-esque effect), and that's it.

 

[Joe_Sumo]

i still l cancel because it doesn't do anything bad anyway. besides every one is so **** floaty it seems pointless to l cancel neway.

what i found awsome though is even though i broke some melee habits switching back to melee was easy.
the first character i played was captain falcon. i thought i was on lightning melee =p

Same. I never saw the point in the inclusion of l cancelling in the first place. I mean if you can do it you should do it every time you land, right? You can't really say that about any kind of technique or move in Melee because of all the factors involved.

Well I'm glad they got rid of it, but it must suck for some of the pros on this board.

 

[Kinlap]

I still l-cancel occasionally on veterans or any move that looks it's from melee. I also start to l-cancel when I get the momentum during a match and the game speeds up.

 

[SirroMinus1]

yea i tried once and never did it again

 

[Battousai780]

Why would you get rid of it? It doesn't affect you in any way at all, and if you ever decide to play a Melee match, you're boned.

 

[pockyD]

i still do, and i don't really see myself breaking it (it's obviously not a conscious habit) because i don't actually press L all the way in, so i never end up shielding or doing anything i don't want that will get me punished

 

[pirkid]

I got over it, barely.

I air-dodge a lot though, not a bad thing in Brawl, but force of habit. xD

 

[metaXzero]

I still do knowing nothing will happen. I still don't understand the logic of removing it after two games (or as Smashwiki says, changing it to fast falling during an attack which does't seem to actually work when I try)

 

[NeuralScan]

I try to do it a lot on laggy aerials - mostly Bowser's attacks :| at least it doesn't make anything silly happen.

 

[WR3K]

i still try to Lcancel link's down aerial lol

 

[Oi Kyon]

I still do it.. Especially when I use a charcacter that has lots of lag when they do aerials.

 

[shadydentist]

Theres not really a downside to doing it. I didn't even notice i was still doing it until I thought about it.

 

[TheJalapeno]

It's gone....

for now...

 

[Jar]

I still try to L-cancel certain moves (Link's and Ganon's dairs), but trying to do so is of little consequence. I still have trouble kicking the habit of JCing grabs.

 

[Micahc]

Only on hugely laggy attacks, I kicked it after a match or two.

 

[Keta]

I don't bother not l-canceling. If for some reason I need to be shielding once I land, my finger is already on the trigger and ready to block. I think I noticed myself not doing it last night, though. When I'm using a veteran on a past stages, I'll get the urge to l-cancel more often. Randomly, I'll think about wavedashing. Marth on Pokemon Stadium. Standing there thinking, "what should I do next?" Oh, I'll wavedash!! Then stop myself. o.0 It's weird.. but I don't really see a reason to stop l-canceling. It's pretty much a safety precaution at this point.

 

[pyro363]

Not yet i got over that habit along time ago and i rarley used it in melee cause to me it was usless

 

[Tonyman]

I never really got too much into L-cancelling on Melee, so i had no problems, but with Wavedashing it took me like 3 days to not do it XD i accidentally tried it and ended up doing a Short Hopped airdodge.

It was the single most important tech in the game. xDDDDDDD
