So ya up-b is actually a good move but I never see anyone use it, up air or a desynched up smash combos into it and you can get some really flashy/optimal kills/followups. They also never see it coming so even if its not part of a combo it is relatively easy to land.

LOL that quick stand-up handshake GTFO. On-topic: I haven't really looked into it's offensive applications yet since I'm practising recovering with it but it does seem like a good combo finisher, IF you finish her with it.

I call upair or dash attack into up-b "The PM Combo" because it's so free in that game and kils at like 50. In Melee, its KB is pretty low so unless you're sure it'll kill it's probably not worth. That said, I use it against people who suck quite a bit lol

It's also decent for hitting peaches who like to recover super high.

I was gonna say its REALLY good for hitting peach recovering really high cuz she doesnt see it coming. I also get it on jigglypuff quite a bit but it is a bit riskier

Why don't people edge guard with it? At low % belay ledge canceled combos well and covers a lot. I love it for species that don't think I can cover high while on the ledge.
