Pit's Infinite Jump!

Rhyfelwyr · Mar 27, 2008

This is a quot from sagemoon in UndrDog's undrworld topic.

I discovered something while playing the other day and i'll try to explain it so you can add it. It's extemely helpful in edgeguarding as pit.

Okay so first while you are on the ground jump and then immediately go into your up b. Now if you do it right you should be flying right at ground level (much similar to peaches float canceling height). But thats not the tactic I found out. So while in this mode. You can fly off the edge and you have great mobility and speed. You can attack or get hit or anything BUT YOU GET ALL JUMPS BACK even your UP B returns. I can upload some gameplay videos so you can see what i mean. Not only can you reach your opponent anywhere off the ledge, but you have all 3 jumps to do a followthrough with any attack and make it back to the ledge.

The only thing i dont recomend is up b after just leaving the other up b. Diminishing recovery will kill you lol

Edit: Oh and please give me credit for it ^_^

Sagemoon is credited with the initial observation that allowed me to find this.

Here's how it works. You may have noticed how Pit can't do any attacks out of his Up-B while he's floating on top of the ground. If you raise up from this position into the air, use an attack (f-air works best), you're able to use all your midair jumps still, and even Up-B again. And if you lower yourself to the ground with the Up-B and go back up again, you can continue the cycle. You have to use midair jumps to give time for the Wing Fatigue. I've been able to do this successfully five times in a row.

So far the only use for this is the tactic Sagemoon describes.

Add Pit to the list of character's that can do this, alongside Sonic, Kirby, and Bowser.

Yeah on Lylat Cruise I nearly recovered while using my Up-B. I was close to the ground when I got Baired by Samus off the other side. To my delight I had all of my recovery options again.

This is amazing in the sense I know it'll save us Pit players from time-to-time but can it be utilized during a match?

Unfly glitch, anyone?

Outside of the odd recovery, like the situation you gave, or sagemoon's use for edgeguarding, I can't think of a use for this. It's too slow to touch the ground and come back up with the Up-B to continue any sort of aerial combat.

Undrdog · Mar 27, 2008

I can see it being used to pursue off the edge just for a added distance given without the use of any mid-air jumps. I suppose with some ingenuity uses can be found.

CorruptFate · Mar 28, 2008

It could be used nicely to get out there after they've been knocked off then finish with a bair and glide back.

kupo15 · Mar 28, 2008

Thats possible. If anything it can be used when they are at low damage with a medium knock back from your smash. Other than that I would just use arrows.

Goto 1:10 to 1:20 to find a good example of this (I know the last part is a bit of an unnecessary overkill but still a good example)

WHY JIHNSIUS WHY DID YOU MENTION UNFLY.

I almost got rid of those dirty sentinel fly/unfly stomps in corner D:

No I dont believe it does. Its just a move I dont use very often in this matchup because I always wind up with a forward s.mash to the face T_T.

Also wtf is unfly? I've never heard of it...

Rhyfelwyr · Apr 1, 2008

Unfly is a glitch in Marvel Vs Capcom 2 that allows Iron man and War Machine to do infinite air dashes after being knocked by certain moves. They have several infinite combos they can pull off this way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I just looked it up.

WingedSnake · Apr 20, 2008

Rhyfelwyr, Sentinel (the thing that catches mutants), is the most famous example. You know the [air yellow dodge] that you can do in Brawl? Well, Sentinel is supposed to enter a state such as that, but with Unfly it can do all its normal attacks and...well, let's just say it's hard to do and it's an incredibly powerful tactic.

Wow. This really will help out a lot of Pit players. Like me! ( :

Cherry64 · Dec 9, 2008

Oh man, I'ma try this one out a few times, I chase people with pit so this might just be my favorite new technique

kown · Dec 9, 2008

Cherry64 · Dec 10, 2008

...Woaah Sagemoon you are friggen intence I'm gunna learn how to play like that with pit, I can play a bit like that with Marth but no one else

Crystanium · Dec 10, 2008

Talk about necro-posting.

ADN · Dec 11, 2008

im the best pit

Salty123 · Jan 23, 2009

one thing you might want to add to this is that if you use the WoI right after a ledge hop you will touch the ground and we able to wing refresh from it. Might be useful.

Riku00 · Jan 24, 2009

There is already a thread like this.

NiteCyper · Jul 9, 2010

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMjx1LBnEUg I just revamped this extensively with an AudioSwap and annotations.

Blissard · Aug 20, 2010

Nitrix · Aug 21, 2010
