Help me wavedash with shiek

[RyNo 86]

If there is anyone in the boat as me right now, you would know why I am putting this up. I have been trying to wavedash for about 2 weeks, but I can't seem to get it down, I can wavedash in training but I can't do it in an acutal battle if enyone has any tips, please leave them.

I went through this. The problem here is you're having trouble incorporating. Here's what I did. First though, you must be sure you can wavedash. You said you can do it in Training, so I'm assuming you can.

Go on Melee mode, set infinite time, and play against Marth, Roy, Donkey Kong, or Bowser on Final Destination. These character work best, because they are close range fighters and must be near you to hit you. To practice situational wavedashing, continually wavedash away as they approach you. Let them chase you across FD, and roll behind them, or jump over them, and start the other way across. Over and over and over again. It gets real tedious and frustrating admittedly, but after a 15 minute session even, you will feel much more comfortable doing it the next time. If you have trouble, because they advance on you too quick, or do too many dashing attacks, lower their CPU level. The lower the level, the slower they come at you.

If you can do it in training then you can do it, you just need to practice more. It's just like any technique in the game. You need to keep at it until it you no longer need to think about it.

u just have to get used to using it in battle. the easiest way is run at ur oppnent then wavedash backwards. Thats prolly the easiest way to adjust to it

Just about everyone goes through this phase.

When you start off, just focus on a one or two applications of wavedashing at a time. I started off just wavedashing for quick edgehogging, then started wavedashing backwards to draw out attacks (as mentioned above). You can also try picking up some other characters to practice various applications of wavedashing. Of instance, try out luigi for wavedashing into smashes (wavesmashing) and grabbing, or try Marth to learn to use wavedashing to help set up for better spacing.

It takes a bit of practice to really get a feel of when to use it, but after a while it becomes pretty much as natural as jumping or dashing, almost like there's a "wavedash button" on your controller.

Even if it's awkward right now, you just have to go and use it in battle. You slowly get used to it. I learned how to wavedash a long time ago and I'm still coming up with new ways to use it in battle.

You also might be having problems because Sheik's wavedash isn't so great. I'm not just talking about the length of it, but Sheik's WD doesn't help her as much as it helps other characters (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not the best Sheik or anything). But it still has its uses. Try watching some Sheik vids and see when they use it.

First off all, start applying Wavedash in melee battles.. even if it not helpful, so you can get use to it. And from time to time.. your fingers will get faster and you will become an smarter player with wavedash. just get your fingers used to speed.

A player can only move his/her fingers as fast as they think they can. If you think you can, then you can. Someone just needs a confidence boost.

My friend and I learned to wavedash at about the same time. So what we did to learn how to use it was pretty much constantly do it until we learned where we should and where we shouldn't. It work rather quickly.

Hey, your guy's methods worked. I can wavedash pretty well now. I guess I should give some credit to the fact that my brother broke his arm and I haven't had anyone to play with for about two weeks. But thanks.
