Yeah I'm pretty sure I spend less time playing Smash than like, 95% of the people on this board. I used to spend a lot of time playing (3 - 4 hours a day, usually) but I don't need to practice much anymore to keep up my tech skill. Plus I don't even have my gamecube with me so I only practice when I go home on breaks and stuff. And I can only get people to do friendlies with me maybe twice a month for a few hours, so my total time spent playing Smash is pretty low. I'd love to play more, but I don't need to practice tech stuff much anymore and it's impossible to get anybody to play me around here (all the Mississippi smashers scrubbed out, it seems) so I just don't play much. Honestly I spend more time on this board than I do playing Smash
Jeez, how old are you, Shai? I thought you were like nineteen or something. Graduate school already? *is puzzled*Yeah I'm pretty sure I spend less time playing Smash than like, 95% of the people on this board.

And I actually will be moving in the semi-near future and hopefully to a better Smash location. But then again I'll be starting graduate school so I may not have time to play much even if I'm in Smash heaven.
You should come to Alabama sometime. :D
He never has time for me. *cries*Jeez, how old are you, Shai? I thought you were like nineteen or something. Graduate school already? *is puzzled*
Anyways, atleast you have NES n00b.
I'm really not close to n00b geographically, it's a 2.5 hour drive, a pretty long way to drive for friendlies with one person, no matter how awesome and cool that one person is.Jeez, how old are you, Shai? I thought you were like nineteen or something. Graduate school already? *is puzzled*

HOLY **** LOL! You look so much younger in person, I thought you were ****in 17 or 18 when I played you xD.
Wrong thread, guy.
Well the reason you do something like this is the same reason you do thunder's combo, because it's easier to land a drillshine, then wavedash jab into thunders than it is just to land a random uair (provided you have the tech skill to do thunders). With this combo, it's easier to land a doubleshine than it is to land a random usmash, provided you have the tech skill, because shine comes out faster, and the doubleshine is less punishable if you miss since you can immediately wavedash or jump out or keep multishining or whatever the situation calls for. The only problem is the tech skill required for this is significantly higher than the tech skill required for Thunders, especially since to maximize the utility of this tech, you really need to be able to doubleshine out of wavedashes and reverse wavedashes quickly enough for both shines to hit, which is rather difficult.
The mechanics are different and it's a different stand-up animation as well. Also Thunder's only works for limited % which varies with character. For instance, it won't work on Falco past 40-something, but this tactic works at any %, even on a character like Jigglypuff, where Thunders only works for very low %.
