Problem Ledgehop Uair

[AREL0E]

i have too much trouble with it. i press back then jump and do it but he doesnt land on the stage just rubs against the wall and starts to descend.

 

[pockyD]

probably easier to let go of the edge with down instead of away, because you have to DI towards the stage almost immediately

 

[TheManaLord]

use down and do the uair while intesnsely ding to the stage and not right away

 

[DynamicDuo]

Yeah this is ganon's best ledge attck.

 

[Mann]

Can you at least ledgehop wave dash at least first?

I use back for it.

Remember you can use the c-stick for DIing as well. Pressing back on the c-stick.

 

[ipreferpi]

Do NOT press down. If you press it too far, you fast fall. And that's bad.

Press away and immediately slide the control stick upwards. Press A when your control stick hits upward. At least, that's how I do it.


Kinda like that stupid "SHUROUKEN!" uppercut thing in street fighter.

But then, when I do it, I just go back to hanging on the edge. I know I won't be able to sucessfully get back onto the stage since my fingers aren't very fast. I suppose if you want to get ONTO the stage, You have to press forward right when you start your uair animation.

 

[pockyD]

just to elaborate, i tilt down (not all the way, so it's a faster path to forward DI) then immediately slide the stick to towards the stage while jumping (X) and c-sticking up

fast-falling with down isn't a huge deal (and i don't think i end up doing it anyway because i only tilt) because you have to jump almost instantly anyway; there's very little or no falling time

 

[Gkryptonite]

Yeah, I had this problem too, but I quickly solved it by pressing the buttons in rapid succession. I just have to dtilt and right away tap X without waiting for any animations

pressing the c-stick in any direction won't cause you to DI >_>

QFT.

The only use the C-stick has in DI is ASDI (auto-smash DI), and that will only come into effect during freeze frames, which ledgehopping dosn't have. What I would do to ledgehop a uair with gannon is drop with down, jump immediately with X/Y, and tilt the control stick towards to stage to DI there while you tilt the C-stick up for the aerial.

What i do is kinda weird, but works for me. I go back on the analog stick, do a half circle up, and when the stick is up, i hit a. So what happens is:
(away) -> let go
(up) -> jump
(a) ->do uair
(back) -> di towards stage, grab it.

 

[ninjade1]

what I do (and I land on the stage a good 80% of the time) is flcik the c-stick back lightly as not to do bair jump with analog stick angled at the stage instantly with out waiting for drop animtion and c-stick up for uair and u can try to l cancel it but I can't get that quite yet still trying though cuz u don't wanna air dodge but not hit the stage or try wd onto the stage the same way but no uair just air dodge straight across 8) good luck

I use down for ledgehopped uairs, and i don't see how you guys manage to use back for it. It is very tricky (for me, at least), and is the hardest ledgehopped aerial i know.

 

[Zyx]

Yes I agree !
I use down, jump (Y), U-air (C-stick Up) and B-up to grab the edge.

 

[i_like_food]

I just treat it as a ledge dash but instead of wavedashing, I press up on the c-stick really quickly.

 

[Frozenserpent]

I use down, jump (Y), U-air (C-stick Up) and B-up to grab the edge.

Up-b to grab the edge.......

Ledgehopping uair onto the stage is tricky. It's pretty simple doing it and using an up-b to come back.

 

[Blackshadow]

The way I do it is by:

Down - lets go off stage

Half Circle Towards Stage - DIing towards stage

Half Circle Up then A- Press it as I am doing half circle

I know I should use the C-stick instead of A, so I'm working on that, but jeez it's a hard tech to get down consistently.

 

[ninjade1]

by pressing down on the control stick u start the di downwards that's why I suggest trying to get the c-stick incorporated into the drop since it doesn't cause di all u have to do is flick it so it doesn't cause a bair or dair so I guess either way has its flaws oh well

 

[chu12ch]

The way i've been doing ledgehops for everyone is...

c-stick away - to let go
control stick towards stage - to DI towards stage ( never let go til back on the stage )
x/y ( i use x ) - to dbl jump
c-stick up - to u-air
R - to l-cancel it

(to push jump i use my index finger because of the way i hold the controller)

It works consistently for me...

 

[mood4food77]

the best way to do it, as many of us ganon users do, is press down on the joystick, immediately jump, press up right after the jump and then press a right after you press up, it's worked for me for about a year now
