Quick Question on SHFFL

[LUCUS11]

Well I've looked at some guides I didn't get a clear answer. So my question is can ALL aerials get L-canceled. To me it seems easier with some (Like Link's dair or Bowser's d-air)
I tried to l-cancel with Shiek's b-air and I keep putting up a shield. It seems like the timing is impossible. Thanks.

Every arial can be l canceled besides Game and Watch's bair and upair.

Is it that my timing is off? I have no problem l-canceling all of bowser's aerials. But for characters like Fox and Shiek, I struggle. Like I said instead of l-canceling I end up putting my shield up instead. someone told me I need to tap L not press it. Any truth to this?

Don't hold l or r or z (whatever you use). Before you land......and I mean truly before you land not right when you are going to land but a little before you are going to land tap l or r or z to cancel the lag. you don't need to even press it down all the way I think......

sheik's aerials have a relatively low lag time on themselves, so you have to be quicker to release L/R/Z with sheik because your lag lasts for a shorter period so your shield will come up faster.

Sheik's aerials also just generally have a very short duration, meaning most of them will finish before you hit the ground if you do them early enough in the jump. If the aerial finishes before you hit the ground, then there is no lag to l-cancel and instead, you will just shield.

and his Nair

These threads are always coming up, and it's usually because the person thinks the game is wrong and not them :S. You're too slow, so get faster

 

[Nintendevil]

Experiment with it.

I figured it's easier to do if you hit L a little later than most of the guides say, still works for me, I just notice it there better.

this was the only good answer.

QFT. If the shield is coming up the instant you touch down, then the attack was auto-cancelled. A marth, for example, when shffling nairs, does not need to L-cancel unless the nair comes out relatively late in his air-time.

If, similarly, you DON'T L-cancel but your character's landing transitions smoothly into the crouched animation (just keep the control stick pressed down even after you've touched ground), whatever aerial you've just performed, specific to the way you performed it, doesn't need to be L-cancelled.

True facts.
