is this similar to Short hop double arrow with tlink? or does she have lag on both and homings are just fast?

A wha????

Doesn't Tinks sh double arrow involve going backwards?

His arrows are neutral b so sh backwards and firing wouldn't affect direction.

Trying to do the same with Samus just reverses her direction cause it's a side b.

It is kind of annoying with sh double missile though, seems like if she stayed in the air for like 2 more milliseconds it would be possible.

Huh?

Sorry if I'm extremely skeptical until I see a video or something.

If it is possible it must require some weird timing cause I've yet to pull it off after many many tries.

Double arrow's with link involve simply a fast arrow in the air followed by an arrow cancel, which cuts a good chunk of lag from the second arrow as it is timed with landing, it cuts pretty much most of the "drawing" lag part. Link's got a full jump double arrow(still fast, he's not exactly one to spend a lot of time in the air) and toon link has a short hop double arrow.

I don't think Samus has a short hop double missile, she's just got a full jump double missile. I just don't think she can get missiles off fast enough for the second one to be far enough in to actually launch the missile on the missile cancel landing.

I could be wrong though. If I'm wrong, I suppose Samus has a lot more missile power than most of us have been giving credit to her for, as that's clearly a less laggy/higher rate/safer barrage of homing missiles than just short hop homing missile or full jump double homing missile...

well, you can most definitely full jump double HM; it's one of the frist things I practiced :cool:

as for SH, I'm sure what you've heard was someone referring to missile-canceling via short-hop, which can be mixed up with HM's or SM's (although your 2nd should be a HM in most cases)
