If the player simply ledgehops as they normally would and tap the special button repeatedly, they will likely end up with two lasers that are extremely high and not at the same height. So the proper way to LHDL requires the player to drop from the edge a small amount further than they normally would, and to start tapping the special button immediately after jumping, on the way up, so that the player fires one laser as they pass the ledge going up, and the second as they fall back onto the stage, at the same height. | If the player simply ledgehops as they normally would and tap the special button repeatedly, they will likely end up with two lasers that are extremely high and not at the same height.

This move is semi-unsafe in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' if the opponent is right next to the ledge. It is less unsafe in ''Smash 64'' due to higher shield stun as well as being less unsafe in ''Brawl'' due to the extra ledge options. In ''Melee'', lasers being "not safe" has been drilled into people's head by The Moon, but it is important to note that, like most options in ''Melee'', double lasering is a useful tool that has its place in a spacie's arsenal. | This move is semi-unsafe in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' if the opponent is right next to the ledge.
