So I pretty much am trying to get better at pressuring , but I don't know how to practice it using only computers . Also I just learned multi shines but I can't cancel out the second shine , am I suppose to wave dash out ?

Shield pressure practice (without 20xx) - Damage ratio 0.5, handicap on, make yourself handicap 1 and make a lvl1 bowser with handicap 9, practice shield pressure on him
Multishine: Multishining involves shining, then jumping, and shining on your first airborne frame. If you notice when you do aerial shines, you start falling very slowly, the point of multishining is to let yourself hit the ground, then jump, shining on first frame->hit ground, repeat

Please just learn shinegrab for now. When you can shinegrab every time, then try to add different stuff.

Also make sure your aerials are late on shield (not early or else you'll get shieldgrabbed before your shine comes out).

Shinegrabbing is just grabbing out of a shine, you just need to input grab while in the jump squat animation as you jump out of shine

what i do is just shine (down+B) and then flick the control stick up (like a tap jump) and then press z with in 5 fames (iirc) of the jump....

the timing is the same as doing upsmash out of shield or jc grab (becasue it is just a jc grab)

basically it feels like you tap up and press grab at the same time

if you jump nair youre pressing z too late

if you just jump youre pressing z to early

if you dont jump out of shine you just suck and youre not even jumping

generally like most things its best to practice slow, and then go faster and faster until you get it atleast 9/10 times ina row

for dash grabs, you shouldn't be just dash grabbing, you should be jump cancelling grab. Jumping then grabbing before you leave the ground turns it into a standing grab.

the same concept applies to shinegrab. shine, jump out of shine, cancel shine with grab.
