When you edge cancel the first part of up B, two explosions come out.

Is the 2nd hitbox in the exact same position, just 1 after the other?

The 2nd hitbox appears wherever the sheik was heading, so it depends on which direction you DI.

You can do this from onstage to offstage by running towards the edge and pressing upb just before you reach the edge. You will explode once on stage, slide off stage, explode again and teleport.

You can also do this in reverse, upb offstage (during recovery) and then land on the ground with the peak of your upb. This will cause you to explode once in the air, land on the ground, explode again and teleport.

So normally with single poof, the hitbox comes out the time of the poof sound.

With double poof, the first hitbox comes out when you touch ground before poofing. then you poof (poof sound comes out) and another one comes out?

Basically, yes. You change state from air->ground (or vice versa) around the frames that the explosion happens. This state change makes the animation switch to the alternate version, which causes 2 explosions to occur.

Whenever I do this, I keep accidently jumping and THEN Up B-ing. Any tips to fix this?
