you see how he teched the wall with peaches dsmash? instead of having a peach, put a mine on the edge in practice mode by rolling on the edge and setting it down. jump off, and try to recover, tech the mine and there ya go.

Smash DI towards the stage when your gona tech.

should i use the same button to sheild as lcancel?

you can hold the left trigger and shield, and use the right trigger to jump out and airdodge. So you can wave dash while in shield. ;p

Yeah it works really well with samus

Personally I don't usually click the shield all the way in except when I need to powershield (vs falco), and then the shield is pretty much the same except its really easy to wavedash out of because you just have to finish the click to airdodge

For ledgeteching, I think I'm gonna try proximity mines on high in vs insead of practice mode. You can't practice autosmash DI in practice mode cause C-stick's only function is to zoom in (so lame)

well if you have an action replay or if you main falco go to target test and go to <--- side and practicing teching the fire wall.

other technical skill like speed multi shines etc you can learn without any action replay

lol yeah it's like "Hey here's training mode, so you can practice to get better at 1player mode"

the cpus are reallllly retarted but theyre pretty quick so lcancelling is a good idea against them

I practice alone all the time, just to keep my tech skill up, I heard that m2k practices alone to to keep up his tech skill, or did when he played melee actively.

from my experince, computers lvl 1-3 have zero combo DI but DI throws and lvl. 9s have no throw DI and great survival DI. Level 9s always hits UP as far as my game goes (version 1.0). Also, practicing against a level 9 peach is ridiculous since she Nairs you out of everything which can help you get a better idea of what may or may not work against someone

 

[xxdavis97]

practice against lvl 1s until you can reliably do every command.

practice against lvl 9s to get better at combos once you can do them. lvl 9s DI and attack you in your vulnerable frames pretty well. Just remember that they have no strategy and react to your commands, so if you play stupid (throwing out fsmashes), it will play stupider (walking into them to grab).

I wish I could practice on cpu Marths but they don't sword dance stall for recovery so essentially you just have to throw them off the edge at 0 percent and they are dead lol
