@yellowslotcar@whatevalyn@kj521_@dannyisinhell@GUESSMONSTER0 if u miss ur L cancel you can get punished by ur opponent OoS, or reversaled if youre comboing them. this plus knowing your autocancel timings makes shield pressure and combos much more technical and demanding. the challenge of both knowing and being able to execute this
@whatevalyn@kj521_@yellowslotcar@dannyisinhell@GUESSMONSTER0 from playing melee due to its ‘difficulty’ is just not true. melee is a game that requires a time investment to be good at, and practicing you L cancels is part of that time investment. While it is unintuitive and can seem unnecessary as a mechanic, it is a part of melee
@whatevalyn@kj521_@yellowslotcar@dannyisinhell@GUESSMONSTER0 L canceling isnt gatekeeping anyone from melee who already isnt gatekept. if you arent willing to practice the timing to hit a 7 frame window, then you probably arent willing to practice all the other mechanics needed. saying that L canceling is gatekeeping people
