| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Double shine
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
A double shine (or multi shine, triple shine, etc.) is the repeated use of Reflector as an attack by either Fox or Falco in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is performed by jump-cancelling a Reflector and using a second Reflector just after leaving the ground, timed so that Fox or Falco will quickly land and allow the pattern to be repeated. It is a very difficult and technically demanding technique and is often practiced at slower speeds in training mode, though it is easier to perform with Falco as his jump is 2 frames slower. Performing more than two shines in a row in this way is known as "multi shining".
Frame data
Note that frames given assume that inputs are given during the first frame of every range (i.e. all inputs are frame-perfect).
| Frame (Fox) | Frame (Falco) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Shine 1 |
| 4-21 | 4-21 | Jump window. Keeping the Reflector active extends the window indefinitely. |
| 7 | 9 | Shine 2. If done later than this, Fox/Falco will jump too high for the technique to continue. |
| 10 | 12-13 | On these frames, the Reflector can be jump-cancelled, but Fox/Falco is still in the air. Jumping here will use a double jump and allow the next shine to come out on the next frame, but end the multishine cycle. |
| 11 | 14 | On this frame, Fox/Falco is grounded and will use a ground jump when a jump is input. The jump window extends from this point until the Reflector ends. |
| 14 | 19 | Shine 3. From here the technique loops to the point marked "Shine 2". Therefore, Fox can shine every 7 frames while Falco takes 10 frames. |
