Hey, just wondering if I could start a discussion on how people generally land a shine to start a combo. My main ways are:
  • Pillaring
  • After a SHL rush
  • After a SHFFL'd aerial

What else do people use?

uthrow>shine (on fast fallers)
spot dodge>shine
shield shine
Falcon Punch>shine

There are lots of ways to start shine combos, it doesn't really matter. You *will* land a shine, that's not the hard part.

WOw, wat a complete noob. Falcon Punch to shine doesn't work. They can smash DI out of it.

watch pro vids to get a better idea, sometimes jumping onto them with a shine works (I mean a midair shine).

I'm not having problems landing them, and I've watched the videos; I'm just trying to spark a discussion on how people start their beloved shine combos.
