You have to hit shield right before you land. I think it's about the same kind of time the dust comes up around you.

within a 1/10 sec window before you touch the ground. Note that Z also works (in addition to L/R).

Note: You don't need to push L/R all the way in, just more in than it was in the previous frame.

Wait... really? I always thought there were only three "modes" the triggers could be in... not pushed, pushed, and clicked...

But yeah, you don't need to click the trigger to L-cancel. Actually, you don't want to click it to L-cancel, because if you do that, you can't tech, and it's slower.

When I'm SHFFLing my Fairs, I usually hit L/R right after I do the attack. I mean RIGHT ater. xD

...but if you're not close enough to the ground, you won't L-cancel...

If your shielding then you either held shield too long, didnt need to l cancel, or l canceled way too late. for example if you do a short hop fair without fastfalling, the move will be over before you have the opportunity to l cancel

look, the problem could be taht u are pressing both L and R botton at the same time, so, try to do i with one if its that. if is not, dont do it because u are trying to do it fast, try to do it slowly and when u master it, u would be able to do it faster..
