basically i can shffl 85% of the time while standing, but when i try to do a running shffl i goes down to about 20%, im thinking its becuase i use the X button to jump instead of maybe the Y, any tips help advice :confused:

It's all about muscle memory. I noticed that my short hop consists of a quick sliding action by my thumb. Now I have trouble full hopping:psycho:

It could be that you're pressing L at the wrong time,(that was my problem at first, pressing it too early) Just keep practicing though. If you think I may help you, use C-stick for your aerials. I usually only use c-stick for uair or to land a non DI'ed knee.

And no, it's not becaus you use X. Many other players, including me, SHFFL just fine using X to jump.

P.S. .... by the way Jona...you commented on my vid XD

It takes getting used to but it is just a fact that uair with c-stick will make shffl-ing that move easier. Control stick can cause unecessary DI or a higher jump.

Rusty, using the control stick makes you tons faster, and allowing tons of possible combos.
