Short hopping help?

[rchau]

There are many uses for which short hopping is very helpful, like bairs with ICs or fair with Marth. Anyway, I seem to have trouble with shorthopping. seems to only work half the time =\ i usually do a full hop T_T does anyone have any tips or practice techniques i can do to work on getting the short hop all the time?

Repetition is best. Go into training mode and just do short hops for a while. For some extra fun you could pick falco and practice shdl too

 

[GOD!]

just practice a lot. practice running around in training mode just short hopping.

IT helps me to just brush the jump button with my thumb, cause I know I'm probably gonna need my thumb somewhere else really soon. That helped me learn to short hop back when I first was playing smash bros. Also, don't use the control stick to jump.

Make sure you're actually pressing a jump button instead of just tapping up on the control stick. And try doing running short hops, for some reason I find those easier to do/practice with.

Like the others said, practice practice practice.
Oh, and make sure you're not using the control stick to jump...wait, they said that too.
Oh I know, go to practice mode and put the speed down. That's how I learned to SH in melee. It's actually a lot easier to SH in Brawl.

5 minutes a day, Use Fox, Training mode, practice. Fox is the hardest character, so if you can short hop with fox, you can do it with anyone.

Put in Melee and try to sh with Fox for 5 minutes, then play Brawl. Now you will have difficulty full hopping, however.

Basically what everyone else has said... Practice, training mode, slow down the speed if you need to and gradually increase it until you can SH at normal speeds. This may not apply to you, but for me I always found it easier to SH when I was moving (as in, dashing left or right). But then I have a friend who couldn't SH when he was moving, only when he was stationary. So, to each their own.

Practice short hopping in Training mode with fox, once you can perform shorthops fluently with him you can do it with any character.

Rofl, wat. It's so easy to SH with Fox it's almost hard not to. He's most definately the easiest to SH with.

Unless of course these were jokes right.

Its all on the wrists go fap until your hand fall down and you should be ok.

But yeah, what people said, repetition is the father of all the training. Practice it on training mode a bit each day, like 5-10 minutes, and like in one week you will be doing it perfectly.

It would help tho, if you said which controler you use =P.

what my problem was, was that i thought u'd have to press the button light instead of for a very short time. once i found this out i had no problems
