EDIT: I can edge hog like when I hit him off, wave dash backwards on to the edge, bye bye link.

and now i can wave dash forwards, then backwards a couple times before messing up ( im gettin bette r^_^ )

But my only problem is, the whole SHFFL thing, i cant seem to short hop more then 30% of the time, and its hard to get him hit.

So my main problem is I dont have any good normal Attacks, i need some advice, besides the shield upsmash\upb.

I know im way better at fighting my old way with peach, but, its better to start over the BETTER way using real techs.


I need tips on just hitting people, other then edge hogging and stuff.

I JUST WANNA GET GOOD BUT I SUCK

PRACTICE. The only way your going to get good at short hopping is by repetition. Go into practice mode and just try short hop fast falling repeatively. Then try shffling aerials on FD against lvl 1 comps A LOT. It takes practice until you can become comfortable with it. Just remember it's not about how hard or lightly you hit the jump button (use X or Y not up on the control stick) it's about how fast you hit it. I tend to just use the tip of my thumb to flick X in a downward motion. My brother uses the middle of his thumb and flicks away, it's whatever your comfortable with.

Don't worry about winning or losing, learning new techs will make you worse before you get better as you learn to incorporate them properly. For me it took me a few days to short hop in practice mode consistently, and much longer than a week to actually incorporate in real matches against my friends (pressure in matches ya know D. Then after that comes fast falling and l-canceling, heh it takes a long time to get all those going consistently.

This is why I love this game, it looks simple and you can play simple but the further you get in this game the more challenging and complicated it can become. PRACTICE.

for short hoping i also use the middle of my thumb but after awhile i use the very tip of my thumb. just go on practice and don't stop until you can short hop and fast fall in your sleep.

SH takes a lot of practice, and it's hard to incorporate SHFFLing in your game. Just flick your thumb over the X button really fast and bring it back to A/B.

for jump cancel shines i use Y instead of X because Y is closer to the B button
