New arrow & jumping tech

Alright, i said i would post this weird tech and so i will. Basically i discovered this tech while trying to learn the SHDA with tlink but it works with both links to varying degrees. While practicing the SHDA, i learned that using one hand to press the jump button and the other hand to press the specials button was a good way to learn the timing of the SHDA. I had also recently assigned my X button to specials so i could SHDA easier (i jump with Y) and during my practice i had accidentally pressed both buttons almost simultaneously. The result was my tlink's jumping animation was cancelled and he appeared to shoot an arrow while literally rising in the air. I experimented and by jumping a second time by inputting the same commands after the first arrow jump i found my tlink to do a similar rising arrow shot and on my descent i could shoot 2 more arrows ( the last of which can be an arrow cancel). This not only lets you jump and shoot your arrows simultaneously, but i found that you can shoot 1 more arrow than normally.

I bet most of you are wondering " What does this do for link?". After i experimented with link, i found that he can, quite literally, shoot 3 arrows by the time he lands. The first jump appears as if he is rising and shooting simultaneously and the second jump while inputting the arrow and jumping buttons is a very short rise in which he shoots an arrow. On link's descent, you can time an arrow cancel so you have a maximum of 3 arrows shots.

I call it Arrow jumping (i had previously called it ADHC for ArrowDoubleHopCancel)

If anyone else wants to experiment on this tech to lead new possibilities for link/tlink please do so.

P.S i don't have a recorder or know how to post vids on youtube so i can't give anyone a video. However, i would be glad to show this to anyone over online (feel free to record it then)
P.S.S This also works with normal configuration

I did this before with normal configuration and it can be useful imo. I practiced it with Arkive online awhile ago.

I did it once before but only with two arrows. The third might prove useful. I'll see what I can do with it.

You have to place your thumb on the b button and have one of your fingers on the x button and jump (full) and if you want to reverse it you have to jump back and press b at a certain frame. I found this out before and use it for mindgames, I have not fully mastered it If someone wants to see it pm me and Ill show you online, anyone except arkive because when I showed him this a month ago he blew it off as a nub find T_T

useful stuff but you also can pull out a bomb or throw the galerang or do a Nair instead of the second arrow, play with it you can do a lot of stuff without touching the ground

Watch the Video in my Sig, look at the date.
This is nothing new and I guess you can read the tripple arrow combination in the projectile thread.
You can also combinate 1 boomerang and 2 Arrows before landing, or 1 arrow, 1 boomerang and another arrow.

hmm i didnt think this would really be a tech. i main pit and do alot of jump arrow shots. so doing something like this with link can come natural.

Well doing a normal double jump, link can normally shoot 1 arrow( i think because he is a fastfalling character and his jumping abilities are pathetic) mabye someone with godly timing can make an arrow cancel. But with this you can shoot 3 arrows plus the jumping animation is cancelled.
