I feel like I'm relying too much on lasers now.

I feel like I can laser well, but I feel thats the only thing I can do. I feel like if someone figures out my lasers and powershields i'm going to lose. But no one does that yet. I do approach other ways, but I spam laser pretty hard. Is that a bad habit?

ALSO I use L for shield and wavedash. Should I stop so I can wavedash out of shield?

You can use L for both, just get good at fully releasing, jumping, and the light pressing. You have to do it fast but it's definitely possible.

About the lasers... In my opinion, anything that's a habit is a bad thing potentially, because it can be exploited and in game you might not know how to fix it when it matters. Laser pressure is really good, and if your opponent doesn't know what to do against it, exploit it by spamming lasers for sure. However, don't make it a habit, practice mixups, practice different approaches, etc. so that the moment that doesn't work anymore you have something else to try. This way, if you wanted to, you could condition the opponent into thinking that that's all you do is spam lasers. The moment they think they're clever and attempt to punish you for it, you can counter punish.

Hope this helps!
