Kame Catch

[Mankosuki]

Has this ever happened to you? I was playing a match on Termina (Great Bay) and fell under the turtle. From the middle of his underbelly, I shot my grapple out which caught on to the front of him and saved my life.

Here's a video of it happening (http://www.students.uwf.edu/jgg2/Smash/Kame_Catch.wmv).

I've noticed other times that you could grab a ledge even though you were under the platform. Is there a special way of doing this technique or is it just a glitch that happens sometimes? I could get it to work on the dock a couple times using a grapple jump, but it only caught on 1/5 of the time.

Wow that was really strange! Its weird, the way you play is almost identical to mine. I still have yet to figure out how to do that rising grapple thing you did on the turtle a couple od times.

All you do to perform it is do an airdodge up and immediately afterwards, shoot the grapple with A. The beam will cancel the dodge animation but you'll still be sliding up, resulting in the huge leap in the air.

If done correctly, it can go even higher than the screw attack. You see me use it early on to get back up from the water, I doubt the screw attack would have reached. It's also faster and less predictable so I tend to use it to recover more often than using up-B.

That is pretty strange. and if you could repeat it it would be pretty darn impressive too.
