Calling all Melee players that switched to Ultimate

General Question

I've been a Fox main in Melee for 5+ years and I'm finally making the leap across games. I was wondering what are some little habits that you carried over from Melee? What works, and what doesn't? For instance, I've noticed that when I try to buffer roll using the c-stick I buffer a grab instead.

​

What were your biggest challenges in making the switch, and what would be the most helpful advice you could have given yourself?

The way Ultimate handles light shield presses still makes me mess up regularly. Even the slightest press of the shoulder button counts as a hard press.

I didn't even know there was light-shielding in this game. So much to learn.

There isn’t. That’s why light presses count as hard presses. Like in Melee you can wavedash OoS with the same button you’re shielding with because only a hard press triggers air dodging. In Ultimate even the slightest touch triggers your full shield and also things like air dodging.

Ahh gotcha that makes sense. Thanks!

My first habit to break was L-Canceling because every aerial in melee needed it. What's good is that it doesn't exist in melee, but I was buffering shield constantly when I landed with an aerial.

Yeah, that was something that kept fucking me up too lol. I'm kind of depressed that all this L-canceling muscle memory is useless now haha
