No need to fear landing lag wont be here! L-Canceling confirmed??

Yo peeps i was on Youtube the other day just watching video's of smash cause all this shulk hype too strong. I happned to come across a certain video that featured samus, villager, and bowser fighting on pilot wings and in the video around 12:37 u see bowser do a aerial down B but when he lands there is no landing lag but insted showed him in a sheild postion with no sheild poping out and was able to move instantly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2CHOQVblHY that is the link to the video i watched it in .25 speed to make sure i wasnt just tripping balls but it looks like i wasn't and L canceling might be a thing!

Well, Ganon'll be top tier then.

I feel like that has to do with Pilotwings being weird.

I hope they just lower landing lag, I despise L-Cancelling, I find it tedious so I rarely use it. But yeah I'm not sure if this actually confirms it.

i just hope gannon moveset is different and. Yeah i dont see L canceling to be all that important if they lower the landing lag but its good to feel like hey just in case they dont we might have L canceling

I don't know what that was but I don't think it had to do with Pilotwings. The plane was completely flat at the time.

L-Cancelling was confirmed to not be in the game. The Invitational contestants tested it thoroughly. Plus I really can't see Sakurai adding it back in when he's made it pretty clear that his biggest regret as far as Smash goes was making Melee too difficult.

You can't L-cancel B moves in the first place

That said, the normal lag not being there in that video is strange. You would think it would have been because of switching planes, since having the platform removed would have to eliminate lag and break grabs, but the planes weren't switching when that happened. Villager nor samus was doing anything strange at that time either.

I think it's just an optical illusion. Many people have said it's not in the game.

It doesn't look like an illusion to me. Bowser uses his down B more than once in that match, and just this one time, the endlag is skipped. I highly doubt this is an L-cancel, but it's something, and I have no good explanation. Maybe a weird bug in the E3 build?

 

[BeKlumsyMan]

hmm maybe a Bug or maybe we can L cancle B moves now big switch would be cool would be cool lol

There is no l-canceling in Smash 4.
