So I remember reading somewhere that some players (I think DoH?) plug their controllers in with the shoulder buttons compressed already, or party compressed. Can someone explain what this actually does? I.e. does it make powershielding/l-canceling easier?
Sorry for the quasi-shitpost I honestly couldn't figure out where to look on smashboards and/or what to google

Wow. This makes my wavedash accuracy approach 100%.....
Seems to effect L-cancel timing, though. Has anyone else noticed that? I guess my better question is, does a light press of L initiate an L-cancel?
Light pressing shield does cause you to L-cancel.

You're actually supposed to L-cancel with a light press; otherwise you input a tech.
Wait... If you're in a position to l cancel (performing an aerial), why would you tech on full press?
You won't tech, you'll input a tech. This means that every time you L-cancel, the game will think that you missed a tech and won't let you tech again for, I believe, 40 frames.
Wow really useful now I don't light shield sometimes out of a wavedash. I don't fall of a platform while shielding out of a wavedash either.
Edit: was wrong about how trigger button worked
No, a full "click" will always trigger an airdodge, hard shield, and tech no matter what. Holding the trigger down eliminates the light-shield lead up.
Oh I see, I didn't realize the trigger would work differently than the way the neutral state of the joystick was read. That makes sense though as the clicking feeling is probably s mechanical switch that gets activated when the trigger is pressed.
Yeah. There's a slider that moves up and down for light presses but the click at the bottom works the same way as the regular buttons.
If you plug it in fully pressed you'll only get hard presses. Helps with power shields and wd. You can also take the spring out of your shoulder for the same reasons
Wow really? I never knew this..
to expand on this, it works the same way as the control and C sticks, when you first plug the controller in, whatever the positions of the sticks and sliders(triggers) are, thats what is set to the neutral position.
