I hesitate to call this new. If I could figure it out after such a short time playing ICs it's most likely not, but I don't see people doing this. Does anyone out there incorporate this CG in their gameplay?

As I down-throw, I foward smash with nana, then regrab. I do it three times before following up with regular CGs in the vid. It only works at lower percents. As you can see in the vid, I messed up the last one. I think that might be it's limit, but I'm not sure. It might work better/longer on other characters besides MK.

You can only do it once (maybe twice?), because they'll get out, but it's good at 0 if you happen to get the grab in that spot.

This actually might be really good since you can get on the damage quick by doing dthrows then you'll have enough time past like 40% to start infiniting.

Yeah, that's how I was thinking it could be useful.

i dont think you'd be able to buffer the nana fsmash along with the dash grab without making popo dash attack or something stupid.

just guessing, i havent tried it. i will later today

It's doable. If three are possible (to get to ~45%), then that's a guaranteed infinite from a running grab, and quite an easy one.

You still have to shield holding Z in between, better solo cg all the way to the ledge then reverse solo cg until 40. Shield to shieldrop=free mashouts. Notice how he always shield or grab in between.

Oh. I remember seeing something like that with Bowser. How fast do I have to do it? What are the specifics?

It's a simple as dash forward and immediately back and pivot grab, the timing is really strict.

Do I run through them and pivot grab?, or do I do this motion on my controller: (assuming opponent is on right) Down (for dthrow), right, left, right+z. Like I do a mini dashdance in front of them?

Yeah, it's like a mini dash dance in front of them, not through them like falco.

i hope it works with sopo. that'd be broken. ha.

i guess i should look at the IC boards more often, and instead of the threads i've subscribed to.
