0-to-Deaths with Meta Knight's U-air > Footstool

[Bonk!]

@ItoI6 originally uploaded a video showcasing combos on characters with MK's footstool, but Ito doesn't have access to better recording equipment so I decided to recreate them with my own capture card. Footstools after U-air is really important to master as a MK main. They can lead to awesome combos or tech chases.

But yeah here it is. I didn't research what other characters have this stuff on them, but you of course can footstool any opponent after a U-air so play around with it!

Awesome video.

 

[Ecchin]

That was great! In this game almost every combo have footstool lol

 

[SpottedCerberus]

Is this a true combo after they fail to tech their landing from the footstool? I mean, is that the only opportunity they have to escape?

You cannot tech footstools.

So what's the string of moves you use? I can see they all start with dash attack > up air > foot stool, but what's guaranteed after that?

Well, it depends on their weight. If you tell what I'm doing to lead into the footstool then can't you tell what I'm following up with?

 

[Meatbag]

Do you do a fullhop or shorthop after the combo starter

Does this still work post 1.0.8? I'm trying it right now, and comparing my attempts to the video, Ness ends up with 33% after the three Dtilts, 39% after the dash-attack, and then I just can't chain the necessary Up-airs before he gets knocked out of the combo.

But maybe I just suck.

I realized what I was doing wrong. Gosh I feel stupid now. Feel free to delete this post.

I can't seem to get the timing required to fast fall in time to meet the footstooled opponent on the ground in time to connect dtilt. Is there a visual cue I should look for? I haven't tried spamming the stick until mk fast falls, should I be doing that? I really want to get the hang of post footstool okizeme.

use your double jump right after the footstool

@ Bonk! Does this work on every character, and at what percent does it have to be at 0?

After footstool? Nah man. I've been practicing, the timing isnt that hard. No double jump though.

 

[Twisted Jokerr]

Meta Knight kinda deserves more love.

 

[GenG]

Are these combos DIable? And after trying the Ness one, it doesn't seem kill in most stages due to high ceiling, so I can see Smashville and low ceiling stages banned in counterpicks against MK.

Even if you don't kill, being able to rack 60% in a single combo is absolutely sick. Looks like patch material to me.

@ Bonk!

What are the conditions for U-air to true combo into footstool? Does the percent matter? Can you footstool from SH U-air? How many U-airs can you do before the footstool is impossible?

 

[warionumbah2]

It varies from character to character(rage makes it work sooner), you basically want the final hitbox of DA then FH Uair and footstool. This doesn't work on Jigglypuff or Fox both are extreme in fall speed, Jiggly falls too slow so she can jump before she hits the ground and Fox falls too fast for us to follow up.

Getting turn around Dtilt requires frame perfect input, so most of us who still use footstools will FF Nair or FF Bair or hover above and land on them with tornado for max damage.

You shouldn't be thinking about obliterating your opponent, just think about getting as much damage as possible.

Even if you don't kill, being able to rack 60% in a single combo is absolutely sick. Looks like patch material to me.

there's other characters that get more reward than MK bruh, look at Captain Memelord easy combo's out of down throw and gets more reward.

Are you replying to me?
Like if yes.
Also, in the video, it doesn't showcase turnaround d-tilt, so in what cases would you need to turnaround? Also, I'm not trying to seal the soul of my opponent, I was just wondering how to true combo into the footstool because usually after my U-air I miss the footstool. So I thought that it was the wrong percent or it's not guaranteed. Thanks for the info!

Against a real opponent, they are able to DI the footstool. This means they can possibly land behind you. That is why it is important to use turnaround D-tilt.

You're alive! Are you back from friend summer trip?

 

[Bonk!]

Lol nope. I'm at a hotel atm so I have wi-fi for the day. I have like two more weeks before I come back.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]
