Hi. I got Melee a couple weeks ago, and I'm still practicing. I'm pretty good at Brawl, but I'm not very good at Melee. Perhaps a pro at the game could help me out. There's a couple things I need tips for. My mains are Kirby, Ness, Mewtwo, Captain Falcon, and Link. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
:First tip:  if you're looking to play top level, don't pick your main just yet.  Get a feel for the advanced techniques and the physics of the game, then try out different characters.  I was maining Young Link until I learned the more advanced move, then realized Marth was better for me.

===Combos===
What are some good combos I can do with my mains? I've never been good at comboing, but I thought in Melee it's easier to combo than in Brawl. But I find things to be to the contarary. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


===L canceling===
I know how to L-Cancel, but what are the benefits? Most characters' aerials don't have much lag, and how do I know if I have L cancelled? [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

===Wavedashing===
I can wavedash with some effort, but it's hard for me to wavedash multiple times. Furthermore, in training mode, the easiest place to wavedash, I can wavedash by slowing down the speed, but since the C-Stick does not work there, I can't wavesmash or do anything. How should I practice? [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

===Short hopping===
Perhaps the hardest technique for me to do. How do you short hop with ease? Even when I do short hop, I miss my oppurtunity to SHFFL. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
:The best way to learn to short hop is to practice hitting the X button on the very edge.  If done right, your finger will slip off the side of the button as you hit it and you will short hop.  Memorize the position of this versus a normal jump and you will get there eventually.
