    Not disagreeing here but just wanted to point out 2 small caveats:
    2 chances of hitting a 1 frame window is not the same as 1 chance of hitting a 2 frame window.
    While it's definitely better than 1 chance of hitting a 1 frame window, I would argue it's worse than a true 2 frame window.
    My reasoning is that you can't guarantee that you won't accidentally hit L and R on the same frame, or 2 frames apart. You can minimize this chance with practice, but not completely eliminate it.
    With certain characters, a 1 frame late airdodge will result in 1 wasted frame before being actionable (assuming shorthop). This means that timing your next input doesn't change depending on whether your airdodge is perfect or not, as long as you time it relative to the airdodge input, not relative to the jump input, which is the natural thing to do.

      I dunno. You're probably right that it's not quite as good, but I don't think it's a very significant differance with how consistently you can get 2 inputs one frame appart. It's essentially the same as plinking in SF4 and good players got really consistent with those.

    • @TheChucknoxus
      @TheChucknoxus 2 роки тому +1

      What Hax is talking about is not about human error but the nature of 1 frame windows being inconsistent.

    • @falseheadgossip1700
      @falseheadgossip1700 2 роки тому

      expanding on point 1, and taking his assumption of a pro hitting a 1 frame input 80% of the time, in theory having 2 chances of it that are independent would have a 96% success rate, which is way better but much different than 99.9%.
      he mentions in the video the "buffer" that you would ideally create so that 1 press is always slightly after the other though, and this could definitely make the odds a lot better or worse depending on how good at that you are. i think anywhere from 90-98% in practice after experience is a fair assumption with a base of 80.

    • @simongotborg3866
      @simongotborg3866 2 роки тому +1

      @@falseheadgossip1700 Two inputs conciously spaced slightly apart is not the same thing as two separate tries (with 80% accuracy or whatever). It is actually much better.
      Assuming you get the gap right between I1 I2 (Input 1 and input 2), and you can hit a 2 frame window, then you have a 100% success rate.
      Now, if you mess up the gap so I1 & I2 happens on the same frame, you've still got 80% chance of hitting the window.
      And if you mess up in the other direction (so there's a frame between I1 & I2) there is still a very good chance that either I1 or I2 would hit the window (let's say 2/3 for simplicity).
      Then comes the most important question, how difficult is it to actually get I1 & I2 spaced one frame appart? I would argue that you could this result significantly more consistent than 80%, because pressing two buttons 1 frame appart is easier than hitting most other 1 frame windows.

    You can also do the double input method using both Z and A to try to get frame perfect aerials (when not using the C-stick for the aerial). In fact, B button moves, grounded A button moves, and grabs seem like the only inputs that you can't "plink" (that's an SF4 name for a similar technique) in this way, as far as I can reason.

    • @abjoern
      @abjoern 2 роки тому +7

      In that case you should aim to do the A press first and then the Z press to avoid jc-grab if you're a frame early.

    • @Altimor0
      @Altimor0 2 роки тому +3

      That doesn't work because Z is only a macro, and therefore doesn't register another press if you're already holding A. On GCC, you can plink aerials using only the cstick by inputting an aerial with a cardinal direction on one frame, and inputting it again by passing into the quadrant on the next. Cstick aerials are similar to SDI where adding a new direction counts as a new input, but which aerial you get is still determined by the 50deg line.

    • @Saskaruto16
      @Saskaruto16 2 роки тому +1

      You can actually pseudo plink 2 c-stick inputs by going straight in the direction you want the attack to go, then move it very slightly to the side without crossing over into the diagonal range and you will get a second c-stick input.

    • @Ryan-tc2el
      @Ryan-tc2el 2 роки тому +1

      Similar motion, different concept. Plinking is an input exploit in SF4 done by pressing a button on one frame and a combination of buttons on the next frame where input priority gave the same button again. This was used because SF4 normally didn't let two of the same button input occur on adjacent frames, whereas in other games doing two-finger double-flick could make it happen -- though you'd have to release the button first. Melee has no restriction on adjacent inputs, so you're not "priority-linking" but neither does it have the restriction of releasing a button before that same input can be read again, so you can do the same sort of motion as a plink without having to "double-tap," which could let you double-input the B button if you played claw, I guess.

    One thing Rivals of Aether makes it way more accessable to wavedash is that the game allows you to do an airdodge while in a jumpsquad, so perfect wavedash is always happened since you don't need to aim straight down to performing it because you already on the ground, and makes it even easier to perform by simply pressing jump and dodge at the same time.

    @mystery_1155 2 роки тому +4

    this concept is definitely better spoken of than applied, not only because it adds un-necessary technical difficulty to an already technically difficult game, but because it creates a problem instead of solving a problem. it's also never assumed someone would mess up their timing by trying to plink SHOULDER BUTTONS instead of just using their already consistent timing for this input. it just solves a prooblem that does not exist, and it's merely fun to think about. personally, it has me imagining what other scenarios can use plinking in lieu of a frame perfect input or a little bit of mashing. i'm sure i'll apply it somehow. it's just kinda silly that you're talking about it as if it's actually a practical thing to do.

      You can mitigate that by using really soft membranes and full length trigger plugs.

    I think the statement ~"pros would agree you can only hit 1 frame windows ~80% of the time" needs some proof. Actually, that's a much more interesting video idea than 4 minutes on "plinking wavedash is optimal." Just go over all 1f windows and try to get a sense of their actual value according to pros. I'm pretty sure Cody only goes for 1f late wavedashes and I'm sure other pros do the same on a case by case basis

    You assume that people can't react to their own missed perfect wavedash and time their inputs in response. Part of melee is to recognize when you can act, mistake or not. Good players recognize that if they mess something up, they have to adjust their timing. If nothing, missing a perfect wavedash is just a timing mixup for when you're actionable and you could trick people with it.
