What is and how do you "Flame Cancel"

[Suretman]

I heard GrabfestBowser mention this but he didn't explain it, I would like to know thanks....

[GrabfestBowser]

When you stand on FD for example and hit B, Bowser lifts his leg up, pulls hit head back, steps, and flames. If you have the first version of the game, as you are descending from a jump, a hit, anything, if you hit B the same time you normally would if you were going to tech, the flame comes out instantly, without the whole animation of everything else.

I should add that Flame Cancelling was removed from the PAL (European and Australasian) version of the game.

However, in the PAL version, he is MUCH heavier, so the flame cancel loss is minor.

[GrabfestBowser]

Ah thank you...

Luke

Lou you gotta get your/some vids up

[Suretman]

I have the most recent North American version so I guess it doesn't work in mine?

[GrabfestBowser]

you will KNOW if you are able to do it or not... Deca, answer this one for him... I only play the game... my knowledge kinda stops there.

I believe Flame Cancelling was in version 1.0 and 1.1, but taken out in 1.2 and later versions (PAL included)

[Qwester]

It was taken out in version 1.1 and only exists on version 1.0.

[MagnuM]

^ Really? I have version 1.1 and I can flame cancel fine... and well too!

How would you know? You have the PAL version!

[Qwester]

How do you know what happens in PAL?! eh?

Mistake. -_-' aparantly

What would bowser's flames be good for? I can't find a use for it because of the wind down lag.

[GrabfestBowser]

everytime someone is running at you trying to intercept you as you are spinning/falling, to keep campers at bay, to mix up your aerial attack, and when you are above 100 percent and gettin up from the ledge, you do the quick jump and flame cancel to get back up instead of just the quick jump and forward aerial. Bowser has the best ledge get up in the game, but once he's above 100 percent he's dead. Let me state real quick that when I say quick get up, I mean if you are in FD, hanging on the ledge on the right, you hit the direction to the right so you fall of real quick, then you jump and either Forward Aerial or Flame cancel. I do not mean you get up from the ledge with jump. If you do that you are dead. With the quick get up you can do the forward aerial, the flame cancel, or the Klaw, which is awesome once you've established how good your under 100 A getup is... you get them to just hold block, then you quick getup with the Klaw and throw them off the ledge and you can edgeguard like the beast that bowser is. He is amazing at edgeguarding.
