Short Hop Fast Fall Uair

-or-

Short Hop L-Cancel Uair?

For now, I'm unable to utilize a perfectly SHFFL'ed Uair and I'm curious to see which one of the two is better. I can't really tell the difference between which one is faster.

If you can'tSHFFL then go for the L-cancelled because you can chain them. There is no "speed" in doing just one fast fall uair since you lag and can't combo into anything else.

I'd do the fast fall, because in the long run of things you're learning how to SHFFL, and that only makes sense to do it sequentially. Once you're able to work in the l cancel then you'll be SHFFL'ing very well.

Ideally you should just learn to do both, but if you short hop uair and delay the fastfall, it will auto cancel (no L-cancelling required). Just something to consider.

After a while SHFFLing just becomes natural, I would stick to short hop l-canceling, because you need to get good with l-canceling.
