AMAZING strat I figured out for people above you

[Mew2King]

okay so you know how you aren't sure if that snake player you're fighting is going to nair/bair back onto the stage, or do an air dodge? Well, with systematic timing, you can just cover their fall with MKs jump + Uair (or falling Uair), and if they land on the ground (there is 2 frames landing lag on air dodge in this game, compared to the 4 frames landing lag melee had [or the 10 frames landing lag from air dodges melee had]) you can spam X so you footstool their head and then Dair them.

If done right, you will either have your Dair hitbox out to hit them during their 2 frames landing lag of air dodge, OR you will footstool their head automatically (I usually do this by accident, but I do it extremely often) into a Dair to hit them back off the stage.

I think if perfected, this could become an extremely good advanced technique for MK users. Mathematically, it is very unlikely they will get past this if you do it well, and even if they do block your dair, you're still safe because you're doing a rising double jump Dair anyway, making this a very safe, but effective strategy.

Ouch. This sounds good. Ouch.

 

[Affinity]

Wow, this is good stuff; I'm gonna start messing around with this.

 

[ShaolinAce]

So we jump then footstool down air them? And the thier lag time gennerally makes us safe to down air them again? Am I getting this right?

 

[Crizthakidd]

so fall with them with uair, or wait till they airdodge to foorstoll+dair?

how often do u do this. you should post some vids of you m2k i need to learn quickly

 

[_umbra_]

This sounds really good, I'm going to have to start practicing it

 

[rathy Aro]

If the snake catches on there's a chance he would just c4, unless I'm not getting what you mean.

@M2K:

Are you talking about simply spamming the up air then following up into a dair if air dodged? I seen gimpyfish do this in a Danimals video I was looking at about a month ago. What I like to do is use the uair to try and set up a dair WOP by punishing air dodges. Or, as you stated, rising dairs (I learned this from watching your MetaKnight against that Wario).

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, though. It's kinda hard to follow through text. Do you have any vids of you doing this?

Metaknights UpAir > all of Snake's aerials.

And I actually have no idea what you meant by that second part. But hey, now I know the frame count on landing from an air dodge.

 

[vato_break]

stop breaking the broken

 

[Mew2King]

basically you just uair and if they air dodge past you you dair, and if you do it right you should get them most or all of the time

 

[rathy Aro]

I still think dropping c4 would counter this strategy well. Just drop the c4 onto the uairing MK and explode it.

 

[ShaolinAce]

c4 **** counters nearly everything so moot point is moot.

 

[KosukeKGA]

Ah, but MK has a gimp on Snake now.

Whatever any player finds for Brawl, please keep continue on. It's making the game more unbalanced and broken every time someone finds something new.

Keep finding new things MK players. <3

MK has loads of gimps on snake. If snake leaves the stage, he should be dead.

 

[Mew2King]

no, if the snake is smart (and DIs well and up Bs early at a good angle) its hard to edge guard them

there's lots of tricky ways to recover, it's just most snake players are too generic

 

[UpTown]

basically do a uair combo repeatedly then when opponent air dodges use dair? does this work on every char? or just snake or what?

(sorry for like 3 questions)

 

[Sinz]

Yeah, I see what your saying, but if they get back to the stage I usually try to uair them if no luck, I just dair them off the stage and restart the shenanigans.

if ur playin a stupid snake.....

snake has a good recovery against mk....

but thats a nice trick,... seems like it would work... but its a systematic thing... just reading the snake... which M2k does ...

 

[Needle of Juntah]

not to mention is the snake user has a grenade out, if done right you WONT hit it

 

[l3lue2ain]

hmm I have to try this out.
