Hylian's chain grab: forward throw easier?

[Melomaniacal]

So, I've gotten pretty good at Hylian's alternating throw technique, but I've always found that the hardest part was the Popo down throw (naturally). The timing is different for nearly every character, and it often times will throw me off. But then I started replacing the down throw with a forward throw, and I actually find it much easier. The timing is the same for almost every character (as far as I've tested), so it's a little easier.

Video examples (sorry for crappy quality):

Oh, and I do apologize if this has already been discussed, or is common knowledge already. I haven't seen it done this way, nor have I seen this variation discussed, so I figured it was worth a post. Then again, it is only a slight change

Well its only different b/c down throw is affected by the weight of the character

Well, yeah, which is why this variation is a little easier.

They both work, just anything that lets you keep the grab combo continuing. I don't know which is easier because infinites are banned from tournaments where I live, so I just stick to simple grab combos

In Texas, is the rule only applied to Popo or both?
And does using a Ice block reset it?

I dunno why, but I find the down throw much better. It gets you to the edge so you can fair-spike, and I guess it's just personal preference for me.

Just use whichever you find easier, it doesn't really matter which one it is as long as you can perform it.

 

[stoopdklutz]

wait, does down throw CG from 0% to fair count as a 0-death?


P.S. yay past 100 posts!

^ No it does not. At least in Hylian's alternative infinite approved by Xyro(sp?)

 

[Hylian]

Well, I can do this with the infinite grab rule:

So it's all good .


And really, just do whatever you can do most consistently and what you are comfortable with.

I dont think TGM has ever won a tourney. Im going on to my my 17 tourny win. 12 melee and 4 for brawl.

Fthrow also deals more damage than dthrow, methinks.

 

[stoopdklutz]

yea, 2% more damage.
