Misfire Discussion

[Hyper Crasher]

Luigi's misfire doesn't seem to be discussed that often, so I decided to start this.

I'll start with some misfire combos and such.
-dthrow into misfire works on a majority of the middle weights and can kill around 50%
-uthrow into misfire works on spacies at lower %s and dthrow misfire works at higher %
-uair into misfire sometimes works but it depends on character weight and your opponents di
-utilt/usmash into misfire works kind of like uair into misfire but it is more reliable on spacies

Misfire helps Luigi get some really early kills and being able to store them is a big help

Throw it out randomly

 

[Hyper Crasher]

Random misfire is dangerous though, I've lost games by it missing and not making it back, sure it could catch someone off guard and is a decent last ditch effort, but certain characters can outprioritize misfire so it ends up being a waste.

 

[Boomer3d]

yeah but seriously, don't do it from the edge of the stage trying to get your opponent, it is impossible to recover if you don't hit them. If you want to hit them out of it when they are recovering try to be closer to the stage. Random misfire on opponents on the stage can catch them off guard pretty easy sometimes though.

 

[Hyper Crasher]

Misfiring their recovery is pretty funny sometimes, just gotta know what you can hit, I've done some misfire mixups where I misfire offstage only to misfire back and win the match. You can probably mix up your attacks and then throw out a misfire

I love how for me, misfire only comes out when I'm about to die and will only survive if I get it. Misfires love me

 

[Broasty]

I tend to only throw out guaranteed hits...although every now and then I throw out a random. One time I got 3 random misfires in a row lol.

I usually chain D throws until I can't any more, then get one more D throw and blast off. I can't think of a lot of other ways to get it reliably, but be unexpected and make sure it's at point blank or nearly point blank. That's how I get most of mine

 

[rikochet]

Is there any way of getting the timing down to do it intentionally? Ive gotten a couple kills on spacies by d-throw and an immediate missfire and its always so amazing as if ive never seen it before lol. I just want to be able to missfire when i want to and not randomly.

If you flash green, you will misfire unless you hold shield when you release, in which case you will flash green the next time.

It works on basically anybody really unless they're really floaty I'm sure
