... the title says it all. I need help.
Ive seen that "advanced how to play" so dont send me that vid, but i cant get the timing to Lcancel right. im playing capt. Falcon atm, and i really think i need to learn that.

...any tips, or just how-to?


oh, and how do i turn tap-jump off? can i even do that in melee?
...and why does the Cstick not do smashes, it always adjusts the camera, even mid-fight.

I find that if you are thinking in your mind of the timing as "Just before I hit the ground I hit L" works best for me.

Edit : Of course you can use R too I just personally use L.

The C-stick adjusts the camera in every single-player mode and training.
Otherwise it does smashes.

We can't really tell your fingers what to do. Try playing bowser, because you can easily tell when you've sucessfully L-Canceled. Tap Jump cannot be turned off in Melee. You just have to get used to it. Play in vs. mode, and the C-Stick will do aerials/smashes.

Try practicing against a lvl 1 computer for l-canceling/combos and a blank controller for other techs. Training mode doesn't allow for the C-stick.

It can be a pain to learn, just try to incorporate it as much as possible during matches, don't worry if you don't remember to hit it every time. Eventually you will start to do it more and more and it will only get easier.

This has been helpful to me to, but can someone help me answer this question? I can wavedash, and I know its uses, but how exactly do you attack out of a wavedash? It just seems like you have to attack REALLY quick.

That and tap jump isnt NEARLY as sensetive in melee as it is in brawl, in fact I only accidently tap jump once every year.

yeah the controls are much tigher in melee so unless you always just SMASH on the stick it shouldn't be a problem.

do links dair/bowsers bair to practice l cancel, press it when you land

c stick only smashes in vs mode, in 1p it changes camera

TLink King: You can attack like whenever it's just not instant lol

how exactly do you attack out of a wavedash?
ok its kinda complicated see

what u gotta do is hold directional buttons and PRESS A!!
but heres the trick okay?
sometimes u gotta press B!!!!!

and to make things even harder sometimes u have to not even hold directional buttons man
I have heard that some people attack with the c-stick to

At least that's how I do it.

just practice man

shuffle a nair on a heavy opponent when immediatly l cancel (do this at 0%)

if the combo meter indicates 2, then you have l canceled
