SHFFL Help

[Windshade]

I've been playing as Link for quite some time now and I have a lot of his skills down but I can't get SHFFLing right. My main problem with learning it is I have a very hard time telling if I pulled off the SHFFL or not. Are there any signs I can look for to tell if I'm SHFFLing correctly?

Well if you fall faster than normal
if you jump shorter than normal
if you recover faster than normal from your attack
Try just L-cancelling your attack (without trying to sh and ff) to see the difference between that and an un cancelled move because something like your nair might not have much lag time anyway but the Lcancel still makes a difference

Here is something that will help you, this helped me 2 weeks ago to learn how to shuffle good. First off do a full jump then at the peak of your jump press down. this should create a fast fall. You will definately know the difference between a fast-fall and a non fast-fall, so I'm not going into that. Know if you L-cancelled or not is more difficult, but not when you use a move like link's swordplant. Normally, if you do not L cancel, his sword will get stuck for like 1/2 second, and he won't whip it back in quick. But when you do L-cancel, he will whip it back fast. Now just do a full jump, then press down on the C stick then press the joystick down, then press L right before you touch the ground. When you get that down, short hop and do the same. now you know how to shffl the sword plant. the rest should be a piece of cake...

DO a full jump, then short hop by pressin Y or X lightly, then when you short hop press A after that you fast fall by pressing down on the controll stick then whe your really close to the ground Press L now you have done a Shffl.
1. Short Hop.
2. Nair or Dair I would say Dair so you see if you L cancelled or not but dpesn't really matter.
3. Fast Fall.
4. L cancel.

I find no point to L-cancel! Plz give me reason why

[Validbadbadman]

actually think I found even if you just jump and fast fall there is still a slight bit of lag mainly because the character lands then bends there knees which slows them down but when you L cancel it gives instant reaction

[Skler]

DLK, L-canceling lessens the lag of air attacks and allows combos to continue smoothly. Without L-canceling Link would have a hard time doing any combos.
