The '''Wavelanded Laser''' is an advanced techique in [[Melee]] that can be performed by [[Falco]], [[Fox]] and [[Kirby]]. This technique sounds easy but is much harder than it seems. The goal is to shoot an opponent landing or standing on a platform, or to shoot an opponent falling through a [[Platform]], or to shoot an opponent landing from a fall. The tricky part of this move is trying to get the laser to go directly where you want it to go. Because of the speed of Falco's laser, he won't be able to shoot an opponent directly on the platform, but he can only shoot an opponent who falls through. This gives Falco an advantage over Fox.

The '''wavelanded laser''', also known as a '''falling wavelanding laser''', is an advanced [[technique]] in ''[[Melee]]'' and a variation of the [[Short Hop Laser]] that can be performed by {{SSBM|Falco}} and {{SSBM|Fox}} (as well as {{SSBM|Kirby}} if he copies Fox or Falco's [[Blaster]]). This occurs due to Falco, Fox and Kirby automatically changing direction when firing the Blaster after falling off of a platform. The goal is to shoot an opponent that is landing, standing, or falling and make a direct hit. The tricky part of this move is trying to get the [[Blaster]] to go directly where the player wants it to go. Because of the speed of Falco's laser, he won't be able to shoot an opponent directly on the platform, but he can only shoot the opponent if they fall through. This can be either advantageous or disadvantageous for Falco at times. The Wavelanded Laser is achieved by firing the Blaster as soon as Falco, Fox, or Kirby faces away from the opponent, Wavedashes or Wavelands off of a platform and fires the Blaster immediately upon falling off the platform. If the Wavelanded Laser is done correctly, Falco, Fox, or Kirby will slide backwards off the platform, face their opponent, and shoot the Blaster. It's impossible to use the technique while facing the opponent because the player automatically turns in the opposite direction as soon as the Blaster is shot, and much harder to accomplish while Wavedashing or Wavelanding forward and because Wavedashing and Wavelanding forward usually causes the player to trip then stumble on the edge of the platform. The player can also perform a falling Wavelanded Double Laser as well, but it would only work with Fox or Kirby with Fox's Blaster copied.

If the Wavelanded Laser is done correctly, Falco, Fox, or Kirby will slide backwards off the platform, face their opponent, and shoot the Laser. It's much harder to shoot the Laser while facing your opponent because you automatically turn in the opposite direction as soon as you shoot the Laser and because Wavedashing or Wavelanding forward usually causes you to trip then stumble on the edge of the platform. A great place to practice this technique is in [[Pokemon Stadium]].
