Trouble with button sliding - Some help?

[CoreyTampa09]

Hey guys I just wanna know if maybe you can offer some help.

I consider myself a high level 3 smasher but what to get to level 4 by incorparating more button sliding and flick uA and fA's.

For instance in the combo for fox when you Air Down A into flick up and repeat. I cant get low enough to complete the combo. I also have a similer problem with kirby in this technique and ness's down a.

Any help?

Do you mean down a followed by an up-tilt? It should be pretty easy to do. Maybe you're not z-canceling right.

Or do you mean the fox down-drill into u-air combo? That's a little harder but you just need to slide from down-c to A while tilting up. Alternatively you can use the analog to jump after z-canceling. It'll do the long jump up-air instead of the short-hop up-air and you'll end up above your opponent.

If u want to increase ur skill dont button slide. ;P

Maybe you're not short hopping? That would mean you aren't low enough to carry on the combo....

Well, shorthopping with the stick actually has a very noticeable difference in shorthop height...as in, a considerable bit higher.

It should be pretty noticable when you don't short hop. Im assuming you're doing the Drill to up tilt and not up air. You dont really need button slide at all if you're fast enough, and if your're not fast either, just use the R button, its like a secondary A while in the air. Also, its not really a flick, its a nudge.

Another hint is to maybe fast fall your drill if you're still going too high. I don't mean FF during, but before you drill, MASH the stick down and press A/R.
