(Ok yes I know, double post. But the last one was yesterday and I really have to tell you something.)
toondiddy, I give you the safe spike.
There have been a few attempts to make Toon links dair spike safe but none have been that great (like z dropping the bomb, then using dair and hopfully passing the bomb on the way down when it explodes.)
Using my new found technique of being able to use any aerial attack whilst holding a bomb, (which I will quote in a second so you don't have to go back to page 5) I have found a far safer way of safe spiking, in fact there's almost no chance of lossing a life.
For any of you who haven't read my technique then here it is. Please read before you go on. If you've already read this, then just skip this part.
Toondiddy, I think I've found something.
It's official, you can use any aerial attack while holding a bomb. In fact we've sorta known about it for a while.
It's common knowledge that if you catch a bomb in mid air with Bair, you can continue doing Bair as long as you use it straight after the previous Bair. But to my knowledge, no-one has taken this idea any further, until now.
I have found that it's not only Bair that you can do this with, Uair does the same thing only it takes longer for Uair to execute. And how does this help? Well you can string aerial moves together once you've caught the bomb with Uair or Bair. (I recomend Bair simply because it's quicker.)
When you catch a bomb in midair with either Bair or Uair you can straight after do any other aerial move including an infinite amount of Bair's and Uair's.
So for example you pull out a bomb, throw it up, jump up and grab it with Bair, then you can do either Uair, Fair, Dair, Nair or even another Bair as long as you execute the move straight after the previous one.
Bair and Uair are special in that they are not only the only aerial moves that can grab a bomb and keep on attacking but you can use them as many times as you want after you've grabbed one. This means that you can do things like this.
Grab the bomb with Bair, Uair, Nair
Grab the bomb with Bair, Bair, Fair
Any combination you want as long as your high enough off the ground.
Grab the bomb with Uair, bair, Uair, Uair, Bair, Dair (of course you'd have to be pretty high to do this but you get the point.
All the other aerials (Dair, Fair, Nair) can only be used at the end of your combo. If you try to do any aerials (even Bair or Uair) after using Dair, Fair or Nair you will throw the bomb.
Try experimenting with this and see what you come up with.
Ok. To do a safe spike, first send your opponent off the edge. Then walk over to the edge and turn your back on your opponent. Pull out a bomb and then after the exact time it takes to shoot 2 uncharged arrows, throw the bomb up (I'll go into the arrows later).
When the bomb comes back down, jump up and out towards your opponent and grab the bomb with bair and then instantly use dair. If you've timed it right your opponent will be under you and you will spike them, if you miss them just after you passed them the bomb will explode and you will be able to recover.
If you find that you've grabbed the bomb with bair and your a little too early or late then luckily for you I've thought of that. If your too early and your opponent is still too far out, just after you bair grab the bomb, jump and throw it down or out at your opponent. If your too late and your opponent has already passed you or is back on stage, then right after you bair the bomb, jump and throw it back towards the stage.
Now about the arrows. If you want, you can simply time the whole move right. But if your like me and would rather know for sure that the timing is perfect then shoot two uncharged arrows. Now I said just after the quote that you should turn and face away from your opponent then pull out the bomb. But if your going to shoot arrows, then theres not much point in shooting at nothing. If your planning to shoot arrows to get the timing right then when you knock your opponent off stage and go over to the edge, I want you to face your opponent, pull out the bomb, shoot two random uncharged arrows out at your opponent, throw the bomb up, then as the bomb is in mid-air, turn your back on your opponent and continue with the move.
I hope you all understand and I appologise for the wall of text.
Please tell me if your having any problems or if you can do what I'm talking about so I know if I explained properly.
