Okay, I know this is going to sound really scrubby, but as a fairly new player, I am trying to determine the best method for short hopping. As a Sheik main, I have one of the shortest jump squat animations in the game (3 frames). I think short hopping methods fall into two categories: quick taps, and slides.
I currently use a slide method; I slide my thumb off of the Y button, towards the A button. Sometimes, this causes me to accidentally perform aerial attacks, and sometimes causes me to miss a jump entirely because I slide too quickly. In the past, I used the X button to jump, but I switched a few months ago because Y is closer to other controls.
I wonder if sliding across the X button would be more conducive to short hop greatness, or if simply getting my thumb fast enough with quick vertical taps would be best. What do you use and why?
