The ''' | The '''ledgehoped double laser''', or '''LHDL''', is a [[technique]] that can be performed with both {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}}, though it is far more useful and common among Falco players due to the superiority of his laser. | ||
The technique, popularized in ''Melee'' by Japanese Falco player {{Sm|Bombsoldier}}, involves [[ledgehop]]ping by releasing the edge and jumping immediately, firing off two lasers by tapping the special button twice, and landing on the stage. Though it sounds simple in theory, the real trick is having the lasers travel at the proper height that the player wants. | The technique, popularized in ''Melee'' by Japanese Falco player {{Sm|Bombsoldier}}, involves [[ledgehop]]ping by releasing the edge and jumping immediately, firing off two lasers by tapping the special button twice, and landing on the stage.

If the player simply ledgehops as they normally would and tap the special button repeatedly, they will likely end up with two lasers that are extremely high and not at the same height. So the proper way to LHDL requires the player to drop from the edge a small amount further than they normally would, and to start tapping the special button immediately after jumping, on the way up, so that the player fires one laser as they pass the ledge going up, and the second as they fall back onto the stage, at the same height. | If the player simply ledgehops as they normally would and tap the special button repeatedly, they will likely end up with two lasers that are extremely high and not at the same height.
