hey guys,
i use X for shffling late aerials and SHL; Y for wave dashing and SHDL; and the control stick if i want to throw out a fast aerial. but it seems very difficult for me to get constistent using the controll stick to short hop, since fox has only 4 frames time. actually i have days when i fail only 1 out of 10 times, but sometimes i fail like 1 out of 4 times, which is really annoying.
so i´d like to hear what u guys think of it? is it worth trying to learn shffl with control stick?
the idea behind using the stick is: for instance there are 2 foxes fighting each other. both throw out a nair, but the one who is faster gets the hit. i recognized this playing other fox/falcos. it seems to me that instant nair is very good for your neutral game.
however i still mix them up, because if i´m fighting a marth, i want to use late aerials, when he´s shielding in order not to get grabed.
for shine shffls i use also the controll stick, because many players try to shield grab after i used my shine, so i want to throw out a fast aerial after the shine. also for nair OOS i use the stick, cause i have to be fast.

how do you do fast aerials? are you just pressing X/Y and then very fast A?

PS: sry if my english is crappy and thx a lot for responding!

I only ever use the control stick to SHDL, but most of the time I just use claw grip anyway. I've never had a problem being too slow to Nair using Y to jump.

I use x for everything. Practice and it will become effortless in due time. I used to struggle, and now i don't really even think about the technical aspects.
