Arrow Combo Potential. 8 Max...

[Undrdog]

NAME IT AFTER ME!!!!!11!1

Ok seriously though, back in the day I was told two was impossible. Then they told me three was impossible. Now I give you the 4, 6, and 8 hit arrow combos! Booya! lol

[Admiral Pit]

That's my Cross Arrow Strike! Yet I never was able to do it as good as this!? You do that better than I can!?
That's where i abandoned it, and went for some of my Orbital tactics.

 

[CorruptFate]

Its cool ill give you that, but arrow looping can be hard enough to hit with at times and this takes much more time and exact spacing.......It'll work if you break there sheild though but I full smash just tasts better. I call it... the Undr arrow?

 

[Undrdog]

lol Sorry Admiral, I've been practicing this for a long time now. >_<

As for uses? Well if you get the Rain on someone this can be added from afar if you're not close enough to capitalize.

 

[CorruptFate]

i guess, but the ONLY time I have ever seen the rain work is in that one shot for ADM against samus. but ya, if you can rain then toss this in sure but raining it self is a very slim shot.

 

[Hayang]

Awesome. I think I'll go try that. And I'll call it the Hayang combo.

 

[Undrdog]

Slime Shot!? I don't even know what that means but I can guess... Anyway I use it plenty now adays. It will be in one of my upcoming videos.

 

[CorruptFate]

sorry typo I ment slim lol I will look forward to seeing it in the vid, I hope to see the match its in too so I can see everything that wen't into it.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Yet again, Im not gonna be featured... what's the point in me trying anymore when they now can do my tricks and counter em?

 

[Afropony]

Lol don't worry Admiral you can just make more tricks for us to get off you.

Anyways I used to practice this randomly sometimes but I dont find it very useful.

 

[kown]

i wonder how long the startup is..oh wait that wasnt showed. haha oh undr.

 

[Kitamerby]

You could totally call this the "Crossfire."

 

[Undrdog]

The startup?

 

[Admiral Pit]

And to think about the Cross Arrow Strike, it should have been Crossfire all along. Arrows look like blue comets, call em Blue comets, that's where Im starting up my Orbital thing.

 

[Cheesewulf]

amazing

but srsly, when you're really gonna do this in a real match?

 

[Undrdog]

lol I've never done that in a real match. Though I've done normal Arrow Blitz/Rains.

 

[Mayling]

Very very cool! ^_^

Why do you shoot one arrow to the right? Is it just for timing issues?

 

[Undrdog]

Yeah, plus it's harder for my opponent to gauge my trajectory. ^_^

 

[WKx7x]

nice, nice...so far ive only been able to get 6 but im gonna keep working at it. It's fun cuz i can hit every character on stage twice :D

 

[KY_Des]

amazing

but srsly, when you're really gonna do this in a real match?

Who cares? That **** is GREAT!!! haha

 

[Undrdog]

Well I've got footage of it a real match. Twice actually.

 

[magikguy]

why is dk always a test subject . Epic tricks though

 

[Undrdog]

I won't lie. It's because he's wide. lol

 

[KY_Des]

It's because if there's anything gay you can do, it can be done to DK. Whorenado, CGs, Infinites, you name it. Poor DK.

 

[teh_pwns_the]

haha its ok dk makes up for it with his three spikes (four if you include cargo spike on certain stages) and beastly smashes, not to mention his shield breaking ability which is always sick, but i digress

Undr you are sick
arrows are ****

its a shame that this is highly situational
oh annnnnnd

"I have returned" (in dragoon voice) for all you SC junkies out there

 

[sagemoon]

Anyway you can do this while zooming out the camera to see the arrows? If you cant, send me a replay and I'll try to get a recording of the arrows using an unrestricted camera to fit all the arrows.

Edit:
I dont know how you're supposed to curve the arrows and its getting really frustrating lol.

Edit 2: this is just too cool btw

 

[Undrdog]

The way I'm doing it is very, very simple.

Shoot three straight up.
On the fourth arrow, hold back so the first three arrows curve.
Release the fourth arrow so the other three arrows are on the same Y axis as the fourth.
Loop the fourth arrow so that it comes straight down on your target.
The other three should follow suit.

You can also shoot all four straight up and curve the fourth one in a light bulb shape.


Also I'm able to consistently do this during regular matches as you may've seen in my latest video.

 

[Hayang]

I get it now thanks to you undr. I never realized you were in essence knotting the three that went up.

 

[Undrdog]

And just to note, this can be done very quickly when done right. Shooting four arrows after initiating strong knock-back against your opponent can but done consistently. Following this up with a QDJGlair to close the distance quickly and dangerously while not altering your arrow's flight pattern works very well against shorter ranged characters, even MK.

 

[Admiral Pit]

You might as well teach me this later. I neglected Arrow Rain somewhat that now i can barely use it.

oh thats what i was doing wrong. Didnt hold back. I got it now. Thanks

 

[Piman34]

i just did this today lol, like a half hour ago, and thought it was so cool...cept i started wanting to loop two arrows, one up and one left/right and have them both hit the target, and it worked...so happy i'm glad to be getting into pit again

 

[rinoH]

lol when i try to do this my arrows dont even come close to each other though i did get a 4 hit combo any tips for lining them up
*update got 6

 

[Piman34]

hey undr or whoever can do this...my problem lies in curving arrow number 4. from what i understand, you shoot it the opposite way from your target cuz when you rotate the thumbstick, it puts you facing opposite the way you started, but whenever i turn and hold left(for example, my target is to my right, so i shoot left) to allow the 3 airborne arrows to become aligned with arrow 4, arrow 4 disappears. and i can do it fine if i can see it(i.e. on a pit arrow control training stage) but on fd, or even bridge of eldin i cannot seem to successfully, continuously loop the arrow by shooting offscreen. i thought it might have to shoot up-diagnol and then loop but that only works sometimes, and the video undr made for this didnt, so i know its possible normally...any help?

 

[Kyuubi9t]

hey. Shoot four arrows straight up, wait like one second maybe, if anything, then go for "the knot. The follow that shape and the arrows should all come down. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=178011 Looks for the "knot." Also, doing it this way when you are good enough you can input the knnot, and let go of the joystick. The 4 arrows will fall near you and you can shoot more as they are raining down. The way sage and undr are discussing is advanced, i would start with a classic "knot" found in the thread given.

 

[rinoH]

for the last arrow just hold back and do a normal arrow loop except stop looping it when it is above the opponent

 

[Undrdog]

for the last arrow just hold back and do a normal arrow loop except stop looping it when it is above the opponent

Exactly. The idea is to have the fourth arrow and the first three arrows to be looping on the same track so to speak. In other words, by holding back before firing the fourth arrow, you are bringing to first three parallel with the one you're arrow looping.

Of course the knot or "light bulb" shape is doable, though I find it a little less accurate.

 

[rinoH]

actually if your not that good at making you arrow go down straight like i do doing the light bulb shape is a lot more accurate

 

[Piman34]

i can get the whole thing if i shoot the 4th arrow forward, its just backward that throws me off...on a stage like fd for example. the only thing is that i'm not waiting long enough for the arrow to travel enough distance to land on the platform in front of me. but i can do it the other way, i.e. the way that my opponent is in from me. does that make more sense? sorry if i didn't make sense...and i can do the lightbulb too, but like undr, its easier for me to get them on the same axis, and i can do that on a training stage big enough for me to see them but when i fire offscreen, they dont come back!

 

[yummynbeefy]

its cool but extremely situational just like arrow rain and arrow swarm
