Double Reverse Falcon Punch

[Kamaji]

This is the coolest thing I've seen capt. falcon do yet. Not incredibly useful, but instead, its incredibly awesome. Heres how you do it: Do a turn around falcon punch in the air (just like in melee), then right as the punch starts, smash the control stick in the opposite direction.

The result is captain falcon punching in the direction he was originally facing. This works with gannon too.

I totally wanted to know if you could do this. Great fakeouts.. Suppose I'll go pracrice in melee to get the first part down. XP

Anyone wanna clarify how to do it in melee again?

[Kamaji]

you cant do double reverse in melee, just the single, but all you have to do is smash the opposite direction you're facing in the air, then neutral b right after.

This was in the Smash Dojo update, but it's still interesting. This could lead to some broken techchasing, lol.

[technomancer]

LOL, 360 PAUNCH

caps lock is cruise control

[Kamaji]

lol, I like that. It shall be deemed the 360 punch!

[Dreadlord Santa]

I wonder if it gets even more knockback, since you're turning around twice...

[Kyldare]

This was the same thing from the Smash Dojo, still cool at any rate.

[Kamaji]

only the second half was on dojo.

[MeloDeath]

yea it's a cool technique, wit the added damage and all, but you have to stay in the air the whole time, so i dont think it will be practical

[Winnar]

Haha, that sounds pretty cool. Not totally useful, but fun to do at least.

And people please, it wasn't a dojo update. The dojo said 180 punch, not 360. I guess you could have inferred it, but it was explicitly stated.

olol bigg wrdz i didf spll thm rite ya? LORFMA

Sigh. Do people around here even read the original post before replying to a topic anymore?

[W.Jr]

i seen this move several of times, highly effective.

[Kamaji]

neat-looking if nothing else.

[Giga Hand]

I can see it now... C. Falcon's opponent below and in front of him. He dodges so he's now behind the good captain.

"FALCON..."

"Whoops, better dodge back"

"360 PAUNCH!"

"GAME SET!"

[Tonyman]

When i saw the Falocn update i immediatly though if something like this could be done, and im glad to hear it can be, i used to throw the occasionally mid-stage-jump-reverse falcon punch, just because, and my opponent used to roll behind me, so probably now it'd be flashy AND actually hit something XD

[Winnar]

Okay, so two things.

1) To perform the 360 Punch, you have to

Jump, preferably from a dash
Pull a Melee-esque reverse Falcon Punch (lightly press the opposite direction, then press B)
Pull a Brawl-esque reverse Falcon Punch (press the direction you're heading in making sure you do this immediately AFTER you press B)
???
PROFIT!!!

2) Allegedly, the Post-B Reverse Punch does more damage than its non-reversed brethren. Perhaps you would want to do the 360 Punch to do more damage? Assuming you would even do Falcon Punch to begin with <.<

Actually, I pulled a Brawl-esque reverse Falcon Punch on Squirtle today IN THE AIR. It was the best edgeguard of all time. Oh, and I recovered from it. Easily.

Falcon Punch is God Tier.

[Kamaji]

more damage ftw.

winrar, 2.5 internets

But seriously, I wouldn't have thought of this. Double reverse PAUNCH. I'm going to do it. A lot.

[Winnar]

Hm...I'm not sure if it's possible, but you MIGHT be able to pull off a 540 Punch as well <.<

Maybe. If someone wants to test it before the 9th, feel free, otherwise I'll find a way to post a video of it.


Start running [Note: For this example, Captain Falcon will be running right. To get the opposite effect, just switch the directions. Simple enough, right?]
Smash the control stick (or d-pad if you're going sideways Wiimote) to the left
Jump
Slightly press the control stick (or d-pad) right and press B to do the Melee-esque Reverse Falcon Punch
Immediately press the control stick left to do the Brawl-esque Reverse Falcon Punch
Send $200 check or cash to this address...
...and receive a fabulous 540 Falcon Punch in 3 to 5 working days!

Hahaha, this probably won't even work, and especially won't be useful. Might be a nice taunt though? XD

[Kamaji]

yes... i believe that would work... I'll make sure tomorrow.

[Winnar]

Make sure you follow step 6 :(

[fantomkitsune]

Reverse Falcon Punch does extra damage O_o?

[Nightcloud]

vids or didnt happen.

[Winnar]

That's what they told me D:

There were like 20 people fighting to play friendlies or tourney matches, so I didn't exactly get much time to test stuff out.

[Kamaji]

sorry, I dont have proper recording equip... If someone else does, would they mind recording it?

[The real Metal Man]

this will be useful move
thanks for the tip
