wavedash lege drop?

[fuhnkyfresh]

how do you do that lil wavedash ledge drop thingy? kinda like when your on a platform and you wavedash off it lets you slide off but instead your at the edge. because when im trying to do that i keep grabbing the ledge

 

[Sinji]

just hold down on the control stick. hold it slightly to fall slowly or hold it hard to drop faster. You'll get used to it.

What sinji said.

But if you want to fall slower holding away can be a lil more convenient.

That usually only works with floatier characters, like Marth, Luigi, etc, and only when your wavedash goes far enough off the stage. Spacies still grab the ledge even if you hold away, and if your wavedash barely gets you off, even floatier characters will grab it.

What? I've never heard of how hard you hold down affecting fall speed. I thought it was just:

1. Hold down before you slide off to fall past the edge without fastfalling.

2. Press + hold down after sliding off the edge to fastfall and fall past the edge.

3. Tap down after sliding off the edge to fast fall and grab the edge.

The timing windows for some of these (especially #3 with fastfaller characters like Fox/Falco is pretty small, takes practice)

ArcNatural is correct, however you can hold down to enter the threshold for passing the ledge but not at the threshold for fastfall.

and if your wavedash barely gets you off

My wavedash always gets me off...

So I've been practicing the Zhu: waveshine turnaround bair. The problem isn't getting off the edge, my problem is that sometimes, I'll drop exactly like how Zhu does it, but other times, I'll stumble through the air.

Is there a way to fix this?

If you're entering the tumble animation it's because you're holding your shield as you slide off. If you want to just experiment with it, pick Luigi and WD off a platform and keep the trigger held in. The lighter characters actually go all the way into the tumble so they can tech. It looks a lot more janky with fast fallers because they don't flip all the way so they will start to go into tumble but still land on their feet.

tldr: Let go of L/R as fast as possible.
