why is it that when nana up throws under a platform, they always land on the platform like they got hit down to the platform?
and how can we use this? can we desych have her grab, and jump up and wd down onto the platform into a jab reset? is it techable? it happened to me like 3 times in a row the other night, and i havent played since so i havent been able to explore it further.
It's got a really high rate of doing that against certain characters. I see it happen pretty frequently against Marth, Sheik, Peach, and Falcon; basically the humanoid characters. I think it has to do with how their hitboxes contort as they spin. Kinda like how using certain aerials will cause characters to land on platforms even as they're rising.
I really wanted to start doing jab resets or d-smashes depending on percent, but I'm never fast enough to get up there without just eating a get-up attack. It's usually their response, and if you've jumped and haven't landed right away then you really have no maneuvering options to avoid it. And then you're de-synced above platforms without a double jump, which sucks big time.
If you COULD do this pretty consistently, then you'd have 3/4 really good throws for getting followup doing basic handoffs in the middle of the platform stages. You could re-grab after d-throw and f-throw, and get resets off the u-throw at the edge of platforms to set-up for more handoffs! And b-throw isn't the best but I've gotten neat follow-ups off that too, so the handoff mid-stage can give you really cool endings.
Think I'm going to practice it now, actually.
Edit:
Kay little bit of info on this.
1) every character has the same throw-time for the u-throw. We knew this but I'm saying it because it means that...
2) if you can't do it on one, you can't do it on any. Maybe people with sharper reflexes than me will be able to start doing this.
3) Characters end up behind you, meaning to score a reset you'd need to turn and jab. I've just BARELY been able to land a d-smash off the missed tech (which of course no player's going to be getting except by total accident, or extensive practice) but I can't seem to score jabs. And it's hard for me to tell whether I'm just guessing the grab is coming or genuinely reacting.
4) Only seems to happen on Yoshi's Story. Haven't checked for random PS platforms during the transformations. Also I only tested it on Marth before I got distracted by practicing other random stuff lol.
