Yesterday I was just using a computer Boozer to test some combo's on, when out of no where the cpu cancels the Down B. Usually you have a lot of lag time after landing but, the CPU used the down B then from the air and then instantly did the down B again from the ground. So I was wondering, does anyone know how to do this? I've seen a fair share of boozer matches but, never this tech. Does it require some insane frame perfect timing that makes in not worth the risk or something?

I thought I explained it pretty well, he simply used the down B, and then had no landing lag (not a ledge cancel, I've seen Gimpy do that plenty of times) and then did the down B right as he landed which showed he really had zero lag from the attack. And I'm sure I didn't attack because I was dashing from the other side of final destination when it happened with Marth, I wasn't even close to him yet.

True, I had already assumed its probably a glitch or bug of some sorts. Although that doesn't mean someone couldn't learn how to use it and apply it to there game. Samus's super wave dash is a glitch correct? Couldn't this be the same type of thing?

this is possible and i've done it before, oftentimes this happens if theres a person standing close to the edge of a platform or something and you are going for the edge


one time i did a down b to the edge of a platform, hit the shield of the person, which pushed me just enough to cancel the down b's lag, into an instant forward air that sheild poked

at least thats what i'm imagining is happening, i mean i dont really plan that out very often haha

it just seems to cancel the lag every so often lol

there has to be of doing it, i've done it numerous times. A few even on FD, and i'm pretty sure it wasn't close to the edge.

No practical use in discovering it with Brawl coming up, unless someone here is going to abandon Brawl cause they're gay -_-
