The shine's hitbox extends a bit away from the shine itself, so you don't have to worry about getting right into the other Fox/Falco's face when you're going to shine the firebird/firefox.

Btw, don't watch Shined Blind.

I agree with Fastfox. There's no real skill into this. It's all timing. Turn around for a slightly bigger chance of shining them, since the shine has a bigger hitbox behind.

You can also WD to the edge then ledge drop immediately for the invincibility frames to increase your chances even more.
Yeah, the easiest way is to use the edge invincibility frames. From the edge, you can ledge-hop a shine, ledge-drop (potentially w/ a 2nd jump) as shine, or you can fire-stall on the edge so you regrab the edge right as they start moving toward you.

It was something like this

Dair+Bthrow+Shine=Death
