Shadowball Canceling

[HyperSilver]

So what is it supposed to do? , I've heard of but not too familiar with the purpose. is it to turn you around? 'cause what I thought it was (based on assumtions) if you you're off the edge reverse shadow-ball charge then pressing L or R to put it away and then you can bair them and yiu kill them and then you're happy but is it anything (purpose wise) like lucario's ASC?

I pretty much only use it for aerial turnarounds, and even then it's niche (a lot of the time you could just RAR if you're starting from the ground). Mewtwo's SBC is much slower than Lucario's ASC and he can't cancel into it like Lucario can anyway.

oh! alright, but sometimes occasionally if I jump and I SBC all my momentum switches also, when I play and SBC that doesn't happen as often as normal is there a reason for that?

Depends on the timing of the turnaround input. If you input the turnaround just after the SB input it'll reverse any horizontal momentum, while inputting a turnaround beforehand gives the normal effect.

I have a post here that explains this. Sorry, I don't know how to link to specific posts. (I r n00b)
