A waveshine is a wavedash done immediately out of a shine. It can be done by Fox and Falco.

How to Waveshine

A wavedash can be performed anytime a character is on the ground and can jump. The shine can be canceled by jumping shortly after it is initiated. Therefore, it is possible to jump out of the shine into a wavedash.

To waveshine, use the shine, then jump cancel into a wavedash out of it.

It is often easier to use the X/Y buttons instead of the control-stick because it is considered harder to wavedash with only the control-stick. The logic is that to jump with the Control-stick requires the stick to go up. To wavedash, the succeeding angle is angled towards the ground. This makes for more complicated manual motions, and should be avoided in order to achieve a speedy waveshine.

Wave dashe are for niggers.
