The Wavelanded Laser is a techique in Melee that can be performed by Falco, Fox and Kirby. This technique sounds easy but is much harder than it seems. The goal is to shoot an opponent landing or standing on a platform, or to shoot an opponent falling through a Platform, or to shoot an opponent landing from a fall. The tricky part of this move is trying to get the laser to go directly where you want it to go. Because of the speed of Falco's laser, he won't be able to shoot an opponent directly on the platform, but he can only shoot an opponent who falls through. This gives Falco an advantage over Fox.


Performing the Wavelanded Laser on an Opponent Landing or Standing on A Platform (Fox & Kirby)

1. Face the direction of your opponent while you and your opponent stand on 2 different platforms.
2. Wavedash or Waveland forward to fall off. 
3. Shoot the Laser as soon as you fall off the platform.

Performing the Wavelanded Laser on an Opponent Falling Through a Platform or Landing From a Fall (Falco, Fox, & Kirby)

1. Face in the direction of your opponent while you and your opponent stand on 2 different platforms.
2. Wavedash or Waveland forward to fall off.
3. Shoot the Laser while you fall between the platform and the ground.

If the Wavelanded Laser is done, correctly, Falco, Fox, or Kirby will slide backwards off the platform, face their opponent, and shoot the Laser. Shooting your opponent while facing the opponent is much harder. A great place to practice this technique is in Pokemon Stadium.
