Controlling the Rollout

[Suretman]

I never have been very good at controlling the rollout, so I'd like to know exactly how to control it, in the air and on the ground. I know you can go right to ledges with it and I know like all neutral b's you can reverse in midair so jiggly will face a different way before she starts, but the actually swinging motion messes me up sometimes and I end up killing myself. :(

After released in the air, Puff goes straight forward while falling, and can't change direction nor stop.

On the ground, you can turn all you want, and such >_>

On a similar note, if release in the air, the opponent fly up upon impact, while if released while grounded, it sends the opponent in a deadly angle.

I know, but sometimes when I start the rollout and I'm close to the edge of the stage. Say I'm facing torwards the edge, well when I start the rollout I go right off the stage and die. How do you control it so this doesn't happen; usually that doesn't happen but when it does it seems like even if I hold the opposite direction it keeps going.

jiggs must go a minimum distance before turning to go in the opposite direction, so if ur too close to the edge, you will go off before u can get a chance to turn

[Knuckaclo]

if u hold the opposit direction before u let go usually jigg will stop at the edge and turn rightback around unless right on it.
p.s. why would u start a rollout near and facing the edge

I hate it when I get reversed by mario when doing it... lol... but i keep my control stick ready when I'm against a mario...so...I guess its no problem for me

[Knuckaclo]

just keep an eye out and try not to roll towards the edge

I never charged a rollout for more than 1.5 seconds... has anyone even bothered to charge one?

Otherwise I just quickly charge it.

[KuRoKuPo]

I rather charge a fsmash...

Your Best bet for a good puff is to just leave the rollout out of your game.
It can be a sneaky attack! (next paragraph) but it's a difficult move to control I've played with puff from the beginning and even tho- i have a really good feel for the character i still have problems with rollout-suicides.
Rollout is very effective in teams however! (if the other players are distracted) but make sure not to hit your teammate! this can be minimized by charging the attack from the opposite side of the stage and being a crafty opportunist people get distracted in the heat of the battle. :chuckle:

i fully charge the rollout in mute city when ur on the very high platform. just smash or throw ur oppponet off the edge so they have to do an upb revcovery, and since there are no edges; BOOM. dead;)

FFA's... enough said. Usually no one pays attention to the floating pink ball so utilizing the rollout is ver, very easy.

sorry my brother posted here he is a waste

/\ dont spam.

and yes even though they dont pay attention to the pink ball u can also get in a good rest on them.
