Ledgehopped double laser

The ledgehop double laser or LHDL is a technique that can be performed with both Fox and Falco, though it is far more useful and common among Falco players due to the superiority of his laser.

The technique, popularized by Japanese Falco player Bombsoldier, involves ledgehopping 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.

If the player simply ledgehops as they normally would and tap the sepcial 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.

A variation on this, that doesn't involve ledgehopping at all, is to run off the stage, drop for a bit, and use the midair jump to reverse double laser back onto the stage.
