Waveshining consists of three steps, Shine, Wavedash, and walking towards your opponent. Walking towards your opponent is important, because it allows you to Shine your opponent again.

The timing of when you can jump out of Shine changes, depending on if you hit...​

Nice, will follow the progression for this guide. Also, a question, is there a reason behind using captain falco to practice waveshining? Any reasoning behind it?

I personally found Captain Falcon to be the easiest to Waveshine, while I was practicing.

He may be the easiest, but shouldn't you practice to go the distance that an opposing character can travel after getting hit by a shine? At least have some sort of progression where there is a character who travel the furthest is the end goal?
Just some thought.

I'm going to look at the distances a bit and add a progression chart, once I'm done researching.

Traction is what decides how the waveshined character goes, and also affects their wavedash distance. For example, Peach and Zelda have the lowest traction, therefore they effectively are arguably the easiest to waveshine because they don't go as far, traction isn't the only factor however. Many say Link is the easiest to waveshine due to both his weight, and traction. To be honest, when starting you want to start on easy characters, and progress to harder characters like Marth, or even start trying to thunder combo Falco and Fox.

Note that you don't actually have to walk out of wavedash against many characters. You can chain waveshines against peach, falcon, and ganon (along with others that I can't remember) without the walk if your wavedash is long enough.

I'll be editing that in my final version. I haven't had much time to write though.
