Shorten Help Please!

[Beastx]

If anyone has any advice on how to learn/get better at illusion shortening I am all ears! Frame data and tips highly appreciated!

Fox starts moving away: 21
Hit: 22-25
Time to press B and stop Fox: 20-24

This is from the fox frame data thread. The easiest one is the shortest one. You press b again after you hear the ping. At least thats how I learned. The other ones are super hard. They are all 1 frame windows for each shorten after (mid is super hard). It just sheer muscle memory for me at this point. The shortest one has a 2 frame window.

Do you react and press b right after the "ping" ?

 

[Dr3amSm4sher]

I used to react to the ping but then that only helps get the shortest shorten. The others were still hard to do. When I learned all of them I just concentrated on where I wanted to stop and pressed b when I thought I got there during side b. After that is practice and repetition.

It kind of hard to react to a 5 frame window, you should learn the timing.

The shorten is just after fox starts moving. You can try to learn the timings but its much easier to think about the shorten timing as movement based rather than sound or just timing based.
I can get the shortest shorten 100% of the time because of this and the medium about 80%.
