Recently, I've been watching videos of Masashi and Thunders and have been noticing the lack of short hopping. I thought this was exclusive to Japan, but then noticed that Chillin'also doesn't shorthop. Maybe fast-falling and l-canceling Fox's full jump serves as a better mind game? It certainly isn't as fast as a shffl, but the trend can't be ignored.

It's all their playstyle, I guess. I do both, depends on the situation.

Shuffling may be the fastest way to execute an aerial, but it's also the least number of frames that you're actually attacking.
I think you would do well to use both.

they wouldnt be great players if they didnt have some sort trade mark or specialty in a fight.
i noticed alot that chillen and musashi didnt shffl a lot but theres also times where they do so keep in mind to not grow accustomed to not sfflin your airs especially with fox.

Full hopped aerials are used for better spacing.

More options can be overrated.

I don't think short hopping is over rated,it's all in the play style

it's not "overrated," it's just not the ONLY option you should be using.
you should use a mix of both short-hopping/full hopped jumps, to leave yourself more options

Yeah, Foxes that only shorthop are silly. Fast, but predictable.

whatever wins you the match is what should be used even if predictable yet if your opponent allows it oh well.
predictability i find that most of the people who talk about something being to predictable
are often even more predictable in their fights.
everyone is predictable wether you believe it or not. you just have to keep a clear mind when fighting you cant just win a match by sh it takes full aerial attack sometimes to get that leveridge or force your opponent to take cover.

They are not "overated" so to say, they are just not the exclusive option you should be using...
They are fast, but being 10 frames faster does not help if your opponent knew what you were going to do 60 frames ago...

Forward smash owns you if all you do is SHFFL. Play a good Zelda, and you'll see what I mean.
Full hops are the safest way to attack with Fox, but they're easier to shield-grab.
