Wavedashing out of shield: Which buttons do you use?

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

I know there are several ways to WD out of shield and I can do it I'm asking this out of curiousity... Do most people use both triggers when they do this or just one?

 

[Adi]

Yeh I usually shield with L and WD out with X + R.

 

[battousai555]

I just use R. Using two would be much easier, but wtvr.

 

[NES n00b]

At first I tried to make it a habit to shield with L so that I could easily wavedash like usual. But then I found out it was just easier to use R for shield anyways so R>X>Direction>R.

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

^^So you let go of the R button before you WD?

 

[L__]

L -> x+R

:D

 

[Wangster]

i shield w/ da R button but wen i want to wavedash i hold L (while holding R) , let go of R (while holding L) and wavedash right away

 

[DrewB008]

you can just not push it in all the way for the shield then push it in all the way for the wd without letting go

 

[DippnDots]

I shield with R, use L for everything else

 

[battousai555]

No.

you can just not push it in all the way for the shield then push it in all the way for the wd without letting go

This.

 

[Dark Hart]

I shield with R, but I also wave-dash with the R-Button. So when I wave-dashing out of a shield, I either shield with L or switch from R to L so I can wave-dash.

 

[SHDW23]

you can just not push it in all the way for the shield then push it in all the way for the wd without letting go

this is how i do it too, with R

 

[handsockpuppet]

you could say I'm a noob, or doing it the tough way, but I just do R>up on control stick>R. I almost never use L or Y, and I'll do X for shorthops but that's it. using just one isn't hard, it takes considerably less timing then the SHFFls and SHL I do on a regular basis.

 

[Sybawave]

I tried just using one button but it was too complicated lol got killed too many times

 

[Binx]

I shield with L, release it and jump with x at the same time, then I use L again to wavedash, that's how I learned it and it works fine, I don't slow down or anything so whatever, although I'm sure I could be easier on my hands if I really tried.

 

[Rat]

The right one

Spoiler

Which would be L (used for Shielding too)

 

[OmegaXXII]

I use R for my my shielding needs, and L for most of my wavedashing needs, it's simple and always works for me without any fail. VERY EFFECTIVE.

 

[Oracle]

I use r for shields, but I rarely WD out of shield unless I'm being attacked, so I'll just switch fingers over to L and wd normally.

 

[soap]

i tried using two but its confusing using two buttons that have the same function.

so u shield and wavedash with different buttons, which one do use to airdodge, or triangle jump. it just messes u up, ull have quicker reaction with one button.

L fo everything

 

[Zjiin]

L fo everything

This .

 

[DrewB008]

i wd with r and do everything else with l actually, but i know that the way i posted earlier is the way people have told me they do it. but yeah dont try to switch to use l for shielding at different times, use the same buttons for the same things always, but it doesnt have to always be the same button

 

[joeplicate]

shield, waveland, L-cancel with L

wavedash with R and Y
it's pretty nice because you don't have to coordinate the timing between your two different hands to wavedash

plus WDing out of shield is a breeze

 

[Eggm]

I use L and Y for everything I never use up or x or R

 

[DRD]

I don't know how you guys use L. Actually I just recently realized that I haven't been L-canceling, I've been R-canceling.

I shield with R, wavedash with R, R-cancel with R

 

[CluelessBTD]

I tried just using one button but it was too complicated lol got killed too many times

I try using just one button, and because if it I killed Sybawave many times...lol

Seriously, I use R to shield and just release it before wavedashing out of shield with R. I acknowledge that shielding with L would yield better results, but it's too hard to get used to it.

 

[Da Shuffla]

I use just L. I just lightly push it for the shield, and then click it all the way in for the wavedash. I tried using R to shield when I know I plan on waveshielding, but I need to be able to do it anytime. L works just fine.

 

[handsockpuppet]

I don't know how you guys use L. Actually I just recently realized that I haven't been L-canceling, I've been R-canceling.

I shield with R, wavedash with R, R-cancel with R

yah, I find the L is awkward because it's with my left hand. it'd not like I use anything else with my right pointer, anyway. It's all about the thumbs baby! I use control pad instead of buttons because my left thumb doesn't do anything otherwise (besides DI and fastfall), but for shorthopping I use X. X is better, in my opinion, because it's easy to flick it towards the right.

I might have to try x for shorthop; but I expect the same thing will happen, I'll give up because it doesn't feel right

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Guys, guys, guys. Important Notice. Jumping cancels your shield drop animation. So WD out of shield is no hassle at all. Just shield, drop the shield, and wavedash.

 

[Geist]

I only use the R button for wding out of shield.
:/

 

[choknater]

I hold L to shield and then wd with Y and R.

 

[Doggalina]

X and L only.

 

[K64]

I hold R, Y, and R again.

 

[RaynEX]

I hold L, then wavedash with X+R. I use X+R to wavedash normally, so it isn't really complicated. I just hold down L while I'm wavedashing instead.

 

[Ryan-K]

i shield with r and wavedash with x +r

i use x+l to wd out of shield, it wasn't hard to get used to at all

 

[SpaceFalcon]

I wavedash with B.

 

[L__]

I thought you could only wavedash with the C-stick?

 

[Mass]

I shield with R, but I also wave-dash with the R-Button. So when I wave-dashing out of a shield, I either shield with L or switch from R to L so I can wave-dash.

Isnt it too long to switch each time you need to wavedash out of shield ?

 

[handsockpuppet]

yah you really don't need to be that fast to wavedash ou of shield with the same button. Learn SHFFLing and SHL and this will be nothing compared to it. I just find it simpler to do everything with the control pad and R.

 

[JPOBS]

i've been trying to reprogram my muscle memory to use R for shielding so i can WD oos more effieciently because using only L for both is tough. but its a real ***** to reprogram 5+ years of muscle memory :/
