Sudden Tech Skill

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

I recently learned how to SHFFL consistently and I felt like I wasn't making any improvements until suddenly I just started doing it. Has this ever happened to any of you? BTW this is my first post, I'm sorry if I did something wrong.

I know exactly what you mean. The best example for me would be pivots. I went forever at around 20% consistency on pivot fsmash, and then one day it shot up to 90% in a short while.

Like learning to ride a bike.

i got really good at pivot dtilt one night then i could barely do it ever again

Ok, no what gtfo thats just ridiculous >_>.

I actually don't really get these. But my gameplay is pretty basic so for me its either I'm on or I'm not =/

 

[BEES]

nope learned everything through brute force

I also take a while to warm up every time I play. I do suck though, which may have something to do with it. Not at tech skill, but in general.

teczero da homie.

I've had days where I've 0-death'd lvl 1 fox with ganon's cg until I ko'd him with a bair (he always DI's behind). I'm nowhere near good enough to do it on command.

 

[Erkekjetter]

I have the same kind of thing. I stay at the same skill level for awhile, then I have a break through and start ******.

 

[Pengie]

This happened to me so much that it was actually depressing; I'd go from wavedashing out of turnaround JCed shines to sloppy *** waveshines over the course of a day.

 

[Van.]

This happened for me with L-cancelling fox's drill shine. 5 hours of missing almost all of them and then the sixth hour was boom consistency.

 

[mizujin]

I know what you mean. I could never wavedash out of the shine a while back, and then I'm suddenly waveshining across FD without a problem.

 

[Bamesy]

I SHFFL with 20% consistancy...

But Pivot Ftilt with 80%

I ****ing OOOOOOOOOWWWWWNNNNNNN at this tech skill THAAANG
too good

Techskill is for noobs. I don't do anything but mindgame the carp out of your pants to win.

And that only gets better every time.

 

[ChivalRuse]

I bet Bamesy dash dances with Luigi.

 

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

Yeah its just sometimes I'll be trying to do something and suddenly I'll do it, lots of times, but when I try tomorrow I might no be able to. Its quite frustrating. Oh Melee

 

[MattDotZeb]

I was able to SHDL with Fox with X and B back in 2006 on the first day I tried to practice it and was doing it consistently.
I've never been able to do it since.

 

[LLDL]

One day I randomly learned to do reverse jc shines for no reason.

o.O

HOW DID YOU KNOWWWWW??!??!?!

 

[Geist]

Well considering to get shffling wrong you only have to be off by the smallest fraction of a second it's not surprising. If for whatever reason you do it a fraction differently one day and get it right, and you get the muscle memory down, it all works out.
I practiced SHFFM with Samus for a while, and when I realized I wasn't going anywhere I stopped, only to realize 2 weeks later I was able to do them almost every time.

 

[Glitchy]

This has happened to me...
But more often then not it's reversed, being able to consistently nair>shine with Fox for a week to not being able to do it the next day really pisses me.

 

[Pita]

I practice SHFFM with Samus for like a week. Then I did it three times in a row. Then I could never do it again.

I was sad.

 

[Superspright]

I often practice something, and can't do it. Then i go to sleep wake up and can. I often do this with everything. I learn in my sleep.

 

[Metal Reeper]

Apex was my first tourney (just been playin my lil bro for 2 years) I went there and was doing pretty good, by the time I left I was Usmashing OoS, shining Oos shinegrabbing and legit shield pressure all second nature. It was insane everytime I did one of those things I was like whooooooa lol. But then it stopped for abit after Apex, but its coming back :D

 

[Nø Ca$h]

nikkas dont wanna hear about my useless tech skill. its pretty good. and i rarely practice.

So true lol. You should change back to LunarNova <3

One morning I woke up and moonwalking was implemented into my game with fox.

No idea how.

 

[slartibartfast42]

Some days I'll randomly do jumps into upairs instead of jc upsmash... Very sad. Especially since I've been playing a lot of pikachu recently.

 

[Bing]

haha some days I can wave shine as fox, others Im like "fml i thought i had this"

on that note, anyone got a tip on wave shining? still havent got it down and youtube videos are useless.
"first you shine, then wave dash, shine then wavedash" <-- oh gee thanks tips I didnt know that

 

[fusionnoble]

I used to never be able to moonwalk with Falcon..
Then one day i just started doing them haha

 

[Corrupt Wolf]

I often practice something, and can't do it. Then i go to sleep wake up and can. I often do this with everything. I learn in my sleep.

That is the same type of thing that happens for me. The short hop laser with Falco for example. I wasn't able to do it correctly so I waited a few days, came back and I was doing it consistently.

Important things to note: The timing differs for whether you're hitting someone with the shine or not. The time between when you shine and jump increases if you're hitting something.

The timing for the airdodge in a waveshine is the same as if you were doing a wavedash. You just have to get used to the timing for the jump out of shine. It's not instant.

If you're jumping out of your shine, you're either airdodging too early, or not at all.
If you just shine, and don't get the wavedash out of it, you're trying to jump too early.

Just try and do it slowly, and figure out the timing. Then try to get consistent with it. Then try and get it consistent against a cpu. Finally, try and get it consistent against another player, under pressure.




Also, techskill is hard.

 

[Bing]

alright thanks, ill give this shot. I have no tech skill issues really, it was just like a hand movement issue. moving from the shine to the wavedash.

I used to play link, i stopped and got better at the game, i love link, but he's not good to learn advanced tech skill w/
