Question: How do you cancel landing lag on short hop u-air?

[Gretalian]

I've been playing fox a long time, and consider myself pretty good. But, I still dunno how Larry Lurr does it!

You have a very small window to input the up air. The most reliable way to do it is to buffer the up air after you press jump bit before you leave thw ground. I recommend setting your c-stick to attack if you haven't already as it elimnates the possibly of doing a JC up smash instead.

If you're still having trouble, try this technique:

awesome. i've been doing JC upsmashes too often trying to SH uair, i have to get used to using the c-stick.

you should deffs be double sticking it, if you keep messing up just practice doing them 5 minutes a day every day and sooner or later it will click, OR you could switch to tilt stick which comes with a whole world of benefits including making SH AC uair about 1000 times easier to do when double sticking.

thanks, ill be testing out all these tips this weekend.

You don't have to double stick, (tap jump) if you have a shoulder button set to jump. I would definitely recommend using a shoulder button for jump as well as x/tap jump, so that your double jump up airs are more accurate. I also would set c stick to attack so that perfect pivot up tilt and d tilt are easier. It also makes it possible to space and get better hitboxes like with pp d tilt. Not to mention sh auto cancel up air.

I use a becaus the distance from jump to A is shorter. this allows me to make the timing window more consistantly

you shouldnt set L to jump, you should set it to special so you can do instant aerial side B properly and consistently, as well as cbounce lasers if you want to be a winner

You can do this with L as jump...

L > Side b
Jump > wave bounce laser

L as jump has no effect on someone's ability to press b really fast lol

yeah your first point is right ahaha didnt even think of that, the other point though you cant do with L as jump
wavebounce and cbounce are not the same thing, cbouncing looks like this (http://giphy.com/gifs/l41lQ5Fa9iBtnYKNW) and requires you to hit the cstick on the same frame you hit special, which if you have special set to B is almost impossible to do unless you claw. Need a shoulder button for special to do that properly.

yeah, C stick set to attack definitely works best for me. Thanks for tips. Considering using R for jump.
