Congratulations, San! You played brilliantly, MAJOR props for beating Judge.
yeah, san wins some internets for beating an olimar AND a legit mk
hey guys, i know its pretty pointless to mention this, but ive found some stuff with B-STICKING and it might be pretty useful to ike in particular.
first off using b-sticking can make doing a reverse ariel rush much faster and easier. because if youre in ikes dash animation and you press BACKWARDS on the c-stick you will jump and be facing away from teh way you originally dashed, providing you keep the controll stick facing the original way you dashed you can just press the A button do to a b-air, or you can chance the direction youre holding and do a retreating fair (i'm also finding it easier to full hop using the b-stick if i'm trying to do this, but thats jsut for the retreating fair's (if you were running away from the opponent in the first place)
one small thnig i need to add to this, you have to be in ikes RUNNIG animation for this to work, not the DASH animation, luckily his dash animation ends pretty fast so it shouldnt be a problem.
also if youre in mid-air youre holding in one direction with the control stick and then press BACKWARDS with the c-stick you will do an uncharged quick draw and your directio will stay the way you were originally facing, but you will move backwards (before dashing forwards because of quick draw, but this can be countered be switch straight to the B button before the move activates, not too hard to do) i'm not sure what use this really has but could be used for those times where an attack coming towards you well spaced and if an airdodge will get punished, you can very quickly change your momentum with it, but it means you have to attack with quick draw, which is a setback, maybe for punishing a laggy ariel?
you can also control which direction you fall with counter when in the air more effectively, this is probably jsut to be used as a taunt, but a retreating counter migth be of use a suppose. you can also slide backwards slightly when tilting down and back while walking only, you might accidentally get an eruption instead (you also slide back with this, so its all good)
and another thing which is almost unnoticeable but still there, if you activate aether with the c-stick and then hold forward/backward with both the c-stick and the control stick, you go a little bit further horizontally then you would if it was activated using b button+up.
this is all great and ive only been fiddling about for a small while, i think you can also use eruption when tilting diagonally, but i can only get it work work when pressing down and a direction too. but we have to take into account if this is going to help our metagame and also if its worth the replacement of the c-stick/a-stick and all of their pro's.
anyway, just thought i'd share this with you, can't really hurt can it? go test it out in training mode if you want, i found it a little intriquing
