How do you shorten your phantasm (forward b)

[pewpewyou]

Are there certain moments for when you know when to? I can do it with Falco just using timing

PM scotu, he knows everything about that. Or use the search function.

I think there's a thread for this here, it should be on page 2 or 3 of this forum section

Its just timing with fox which you have to get use to, you press B again after a certain time. It is because your use to doing it with falco you cannot do i with fox, like i cant do it with falco but i can do it with fox.

I was told you had to keep pressing B?

You can do this too but you will probably get the shortest possible illusion.

I believe there are multiple lengths where you can cancel it. If you wanna know how to use this at different lengths you have to time it.

its definetely timing, listen to the sound when u do it and get the timing because you can make it full, half and one fourth the distance

Isn't it called Illusion? Falco's is called phantasm. Anyways when you do a regular illusion you will see blue figures of fox. If you press b with the right timing you will stop at either one of those figures.

Basically use timing to see how much you can shorten in, then use it for mind games, watch ppl like ken and stuff u will see how they tricked their opponent be shortening it.

I read this somewhere.. I'll find the source eventually..

When you press forward b, you'll hear a small 'ding'. Each frame following that dang, from 1-6 (I think 6) allocates a different distance. So if you pressed b again right after the ding, you'll get the shortest, while if you pressed it in say frame 5, you'll get the 2nd to longest.
