Dik Dik Punch - Pseudo Gazelle Punch on Dreamland 64's odd ledges.

[PHYTO-1]

On dreamland if you do a ledge getup- you are actually put in the air for 1 frame --interrupting the normal animation making possible to whip out a KO punch earlier than if done on other stages. Idk why but LM's ledge getup on DL64 is weird like that.

this way is still a few frames slower than the gazelle punch but easier and dont have to worry about a rising air punch.

sorry for the lack of gifs or videos- i dont have a great way to show a synchronized side by side comparison.

instead here's a video of Dik Dik Van Dik. btw Dik Diks are small gazelle-like animals

also you can do any other moves like upb sideb ,


you can even do a turnaround KO punch and you wont fall offstage. potentially allowing for something like ledge trump into a well time turnaround Dik Dik punch.

'Dik Dik punch'

Alright, you just made my day. Don't have dreamland but still having problems with doing Gazelle Punches, and personally I probably won't be able to since my sense of timing is usually off when it comes to like very select frame attacks and stuff.
