Drillshine. I need to stop using the control stick to jump.

Wow, waveshine for me too. I still mess up sometimes. Hardest tech I am currently trying to do is moon walking.

Wavedash.
I still can't remember to do it. That's why I main Peach. Loopholes ftw.
lmao.
Why wavedash when you can float? ^_^


Hardest for me... SWD's. T_T

But actual like useful techs? SHDF with Marf. I have pressure issues with the short hop in it for some reason.

Hardest AT for me is Marth's Shffls

Hardest thing overall in melee: Actually beating people at tournys. Got hard to get used to, it seems I got nervous over the fact that I'm playin someone different than I normally play.

Moonwalking, as I haven't mastered it yet, and I suck **** at it.

Or JC shines... or drillshining with Fox (because of the hitlag and stuff with the dair)

SHDLs, waveshines, thunders combo, multi-JC shines, other stupid fox stuff. That's why I gave up on him. /cry

pivot jump desynchs with the ice climbers

that or empty pivots

actually i can't do either of those consistently yet

on that note, rshdl and shdl are easy compared to some of the movement crap in this game and stuff with ic

L canceling whenever it's not the l cancel in a shffl or a fulljumped arial (b/c ive practiced that and done it a million times).... for example: L canceling on stages with uneven terrain (like poke floats)
Why? because I have the problem of thinking "press L X amount of time after the fast fall" >.> I'm trying to get out of that habit now though, thinking about starting to l cancel with Z or something.

Fast shuffles consistently with Fox. Throw in the shine in-between.
only thing i have alot of trouble with is dair-shine pillaring, and maybe edge canceling effectively in game, but it's not hardto actually do. foxy btw

waveshine looked hard till i tried it, then it took me about a day, then much longer to actually make it useful.

I fail at pivoting.

I eventually managed to pivot about 30% of the time, but then I had to stop playing SSB (it has been a month >_<). Now, I probably cannot do it.

When I say pivot, I mean f-smash only. No way in my life will I do tilts out of a pivot.


Then again, I never tried moonwalking and several other ATs.

Moonwalking is giving me a lot of troubles. I don't use Falcon often, though, so it doesn't really affect me that much. But I still like to at least be able to do it.

Pillaring, I just can't get the timing down for wavedashing out of the shine and I just jump out of it.

Moonwalking is pretty hard, and I still can't do it completely, but I have never been able to pull off Doc's upB cancel. Ever. x.x

It took me about 5 minutes to waveshine, although I've just tried it recently, as I hadn't used Fox much before that. I suppose that doesn't count. ^_^

I can JC Shine occasionally - I'm much better at it in Smash 64, though.

So yeah... Doc's upB-cancel. Just can't move the **** control stick fast enough.
