The short hop laser (also known as short hop blaster, abbreviated respectively to "SHL" and "SHB") is a technique usually performed by short hopping with Fox or Falco, using Blaster to shoot a laser, and fastfalling. The technique has two variants; the short hop double laser (SHDL) and the short hop triple laser (SHTL), for which two and three lasers respectively are shot during the short hop and no fastfall is performed. The SHL techniques were first utilised in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and have since carried into Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
