f*ck! i'm confused now!!

 

[MuyoMan]

so do you mean fox/falco up+B can go in 352 different directions?? and what do you mean by "right angle"??

If i'm not mistaken 352 angles is the total amount of angles.. so an up+B would only be able to go half of those directions (as you can't upB and have it aim down) minus 1 (because it can't aim to the side either.)
so basically it's 87 angles per quadrant plus 1 for straight up, down, left, and right.. so it's 87x2+1=175 possible angles for a fox/falco up+B

(as you can't upB and have it aim down)

Yes it can

(because it can't aim to the side either.)

Yes it can

 

[MuyoMan]

Yes it can Yes it can

I legitimately have no idea what I was talking about.. yes, 352 angles. lol

A brain fart can happen to anyone.

So, to my surprise, most people were completely wrong. The following image illustrates the possible angles in Melee:

So this sounds interesting; however, I can't access the image, and I believe it's not longer being hosted at this domain - could we get another link or upload to it please?

years late but here is a backup of what that image looks like
(original link still works for me btw)

I'm hosting the image on my own website (ajpanton.se), running on a server in the basement, so it's probably not going away anytime soon. The reason it didn't work for a while (for pretty much everything else as well) is because I moved everything to another folder but forgot to update the permissions to access that new folder. Nobody told me, and the few times I've been on smashboards I didn't check this thread, so I didn't know.
