New Tech Discovered - Dsynch Upsmash?

[Kon]

I have to go but I wanted to share this already. Will take it to the lab later today.

I've done that quite a few times. Yoshi's dair hit the purple right as you did a running upsmash keeping thing purple in place.

I'll keep on trying out some stuff with this. So the main essence is that the pikmin in line has to be hit by an attack when you want to perform a smash attack. Maybe you can use your line as some sort of shield from where you can perform a "safe" smash attack. Also it's interesting: Myran said you can do any smash attack. So it's not only working with the up smash.

This existed in Brawl, but was generally deemed "too situational".

PIkmin rocketing/desyncing eventually became very important once people learned that it made Usmash OoS amazing, so take it to the lab anyway! ^^

Thanks for showing this. I wasn't active in the Brawl competitive days and not even playing much Olimar in these days, so I didn't know this existed. Especially as 1) I haven't read anywere that everything that worked in Brawl also works in Smash4 and 2) I haven't seen anyone telling that there is some sort of desynch smash attacks in Smash4. So these may be the reasons why I overlooked this.

Are there more things from Brawl Olimar which also work in Smash4? If so, it would be nice if we could make a list with this stuff. Especially for people like me who isn't too familiar with Brawlimar's competitive stuff. Since I can imagine there are also some things that worked in Brawl but don't work in Smash 4 anymore.

I feel like there is a gap between what is for people who played Olimar in Brawl competitively already old stuff everybody should already know and what new Olimar mainers learn through the information pieces spread in the Smash4 Olimar board.

Agree with Kon, we needed to spread the knowledge.

Whoa, not bad.

but I agree with it being "too situational", with the pikmin attacked right then and there and all.

...still, would be interesting to see what would become of it once being taken to the lab.
