Hey guys, I've been working with Fox for a few days now and I've got most of the basic techs down, with the fanciest thing I can currently pull off being sets of Drill -> Waveshine.
The one tech that is currently giving me trouble are Fox's short hops, and thus his short hop double lasers. When first learning Fox, I tried about 3 or 4 different hand positions trying to find the best method, but ended up coming full circle back to the default hand position.
My current method of inputting short hops is to tap the Control Stick, as trying to swipe the the edges of the Y or X buttons has yielded low success, even after hours of practice, trying to speed up my fingers.
(It's not even like my fingers are just slow or anything, being able to type at over 100 wpm, as well as playing multiple instruments at a fairly fast speed. This two-frame jump-squat is kind of ridiculous though. Sorry, just a bit frustrated lol.)
I can definitely short hop and SHDL with some consistency using tap jump, but I find that the next Smash session, I feel like I've reset and have to learn it all over again...
This said, how important is SHDL anyway? Would I be fine without it? How do most top level players input their short hops and SHDL?
