Short hopping out of shine...

[MomBomb]

i have at the hardest time short hopping out of shine. I have the habit of hitting up on the joystick in order to jump out of shine and its hard and inconsistent getting a short hop. Is X or Y the standard for full or short hopping out of shine?

I only ever use the control stick to jump if I'm going for a shine->back air.

I think tap jump out of shine is only good for Shine --> Upsmash (which you will almost never use), Shine --> Up B stall on the ledge, and Shine --> Grab (which you should use A LOT). Otherwise you should probably only use x or y whichever you use to short hop normally. For shine bair at high percents too you can use tap jump

Practice is key in this situation

I'd use x or y. Control stick is just so much less consistent. Plus you should really be using wave dash out of shine (for most scenarios). Allows for MUCH quicker followups.

You have to train your muscle memory to start using x or y. It isn't hard, it wont take long, you just have to be persistent. I have retrained my self in the past to use 'better button' options, so you should be able to do it too. As for shine grab and shine upsmash, I use the control stick to JC.

I use Y for everything except shine-up-b ledgestall, shine-Bair, and jump cancels.

Since playing this game I have tried my hardest to dedicate Y to full jumps and X to short hops. So for a shield-pressure pillar I'll flick X off the side of the controller, and for when the pillar in the shine hits and launchs them up I'll full jump out of shine with Y.

Y is closer to B than X, and multishining with X is hard because you can accidently hit the A button while doing so.
