Hey guys anthoknee here back with another let's talk tech I was going to make this guide earlier this week but I've been in the hospital so I didn't have the time to.
So this technique is available in all smashes besides brawl and 4. It is a very important tech to learn so let's dive into the lesson.
L cancel or lag cancel(in 64 it's called z cancel) is using your shield to stop the landing lag from an aerial the frame you touch the ground.
What is nice about the pm build we use is it highlights our character when we perform this move correctly so I recommend going into a practice mode and practicing it.
The reason this move is so useful is for stringing combos and also giving you more mobility making you harder to punish.
When I use this for stringing I recommend using lighter attacks that dont do much knockback to your opponent but it still is useful for knockback attacks cause you can catch your opponent faster with this.
This will also lead you into more advanced tech that I will be going over with you guys later in the future like drillshine with falco or fox.
Well everyone this has been my guide to l cancels sorry it was short if you need video reference I will make you a video.
Any kind of feedback would be appreciated enjoy the rest of your day and happy smashing.
