Angled Fsmash

[Matador]

I just started Angling my Fsmashes up and down to see if they did anything better than the neutral Fsmash. I honestly haven't noticed anything different. Has anyone else made any ground-breaking discoveries on the angles?

Well i play luigi and when i do an up angled fsmash i know that I can get a star k.o at roughly 100% because the knockback is more verticle...i think thta marios may be similar

The down angled smash can be used to knock people off of ledges who've stayed on to long, but I doubt anybody good would do that.

Actually, if you angle your smash attacks up with the characters that can, you KO your opponent at slightly lower percentages. Other then that, no, there's really nothing ground breaking about it. This seems to work best for Luigi in case you were wondering. Ganondorf's is pretty good too.

Actually I have intercepted so many aerial approaches with Up-angled F-smashes. It's wicked. And it's stronger than the side angle. And yeah, people don't actually expect it often.

angled up. kills oponents at slightly lower percents and can end an Uair bind if the oponent is slightly higher than the Fsmash Hit box.

angled down. not much use. can hit oponents who stay on ledges. and before they grab the ledge. can hit ducking or laying oponents ( i think Fsmash can do this as well tho). its weaker than the Fsmash being angled up.

A2ZOMG, the first kill was beautiful

Lol,I havent found anything ground breaking with them but I did find something that helps me out.Now no one harp on me if this been found out in Melee or whatever but about a 1 month ago or so,I found out you can change an charging smash's angle well,during the charge.I surprized a few hasty people who asume that they can jump in(they were thinking a FSmash charge was coming) only to get blasted in mid air.I also find it easier to angle my smash that way by breifly FSmash charging then altering it going from there.

Angled up does more dmg and has more knockback, and the difference inn knockback is definetely noticeable. You kill almost 30% earlier if you angle it up.

Theres not a gamebreaking notice difference with it compared to Luigi but you obviously can use it as maybe start kos and mindgames. As for Luigi as upangled fsmash can kill maybe pretty early in %s

 

[Matador]

Yeah, Luigi's is broken. Kills ending lag.

Fsmash angled up has hitboxes close behind him strong enough to KO. Go figure.
