Rosaluma Desync guide

Game Versions
Smash 3DS, Smash Wii U
I have tried to learn what exactly makes the Desync with Rosaluma happen and what all you can do with her when it happens. Its not a VERY detailed post, but i hope to help some people who are trying to get it to work for them and want to know what all she can do. If you find out anymore info on her desync with luma, let me know and i might add it to this guide.

1. Its a little hard to activate it, but there have been a few ways that i have seen that i believe some of the ways to activate the desync. the main ways i have found for it to work is for Rosalina to throw out a jab after she is grabbed for a few seconds, as she is being grabbed, or just before she gets grabbed. The other was is for her and Luma to already be doing their jab and then only she gets hit by a weak attack. The Rosalina player must keep tapping or holding A down for it to work of course. (The 2nd method i am not 100% sure about, so take it with a grain of salt).

2. Rosalina CAN attack when Luma is Desynced with its spin jab. Rosalina can do all of her regular attacks she can normally do (all except side B, and neutral B of course, but her recovery and down B can still be activated.). There are two ways for someone to do her attacks while Luma is still spin jabbing, both have a potential draw back. 1st is to use the C-stick, while you can do all your aerial attacks easily, you can still only do whatever you set your C-stick to originally for when you are on the ground. So the drawbacks for using the C-stick is the not only is it pretty uncomfortable to cover all of the buttons your hand usually covers all while holding down the A button, but you are also limited in what all attacks you can do. 2nd is that you are able to quickly let go and tap the A button then hold it back down again. This allows you to not only do all your attacks that you normally could (tilts, smashes, aerials, and even your jab again if you wanted to). While yes, this is more comfortable for your hands and you aren't limited in your attacks, the drawback is that you run the possibility of ending Lumas jab, which means you would need to find another practical situation to be able to do this whole thing over again.

FINALLY 3. Rosalina is not able to grab in place, she just shields. Which means that she cant grab while walking either, this just makes her roll. Rosalina is only able to grab the opponent when she is done with her start up sprinting animation and is fully sprinting, in which case she is able to dash grab. While you may think, well then why would anyone try to grab if she must dash grab to do it, well just think about it, if she is able to grab you, she could either throw you into luma, in which you are stuck getting hit by it, and she could possibly regrab you or do a smash or aerial on you while you are stuck. Or, if she grabs you while you are getting hit by luma, she could pummel you WHILE luma is hitting you, SO MUCH POTENTIAL DAMAGE.

So all in all, this might help out some rosalina mains should you ever get this to workout. Let me know if any of your find something different or know any more details that i did not include. I am really interested in this possible tactic and really wouldn't mind seeing it be used a little more when able to.. Thanks for reading.
