Midair Lasers can have the ending animation of the Laser tagged onto them. There's a two-three frame window. Try doing a single laser at the peak of Falco's jump and you'll see it.

I think I've mentioned this before.

wow, I've never heard of that before, guess I owe the guy an apology.
that would make the infinite LL on a platform even more difficult to do then wouldn't it?

The Pumpkin King has an inquiry. Oh, what's this? a thread for questions? Splendid.
One simple thing i would like to discover. What is a pivot grab exactly?

sometimes the hitbox makes it explode, sometimes the reflector reflects it. its 'random' if the hitbox is over the reflectbox (as in you cant time it at all).

when does reflector explode nades and when does it reflect?

if nobody knows the answer, ask PSA guys mayb :ohwell:
I have a pretty strong intuition that if snake does the nade drop trick as your reflector hits it then it explodes, otherwise it reflects.
either that or I was just getting extremely unlucky when a i played a PR snake player like a year ago.

we had a hitbubble thread but I tried searching and couldn't find it, sorry

ive never had that problem unless i hit the grenade during the initial startup when the reflector just comes out O.o...

if you hit it at the end and when its retreating i dont think that happens.

the end can explode it also

but it's spaced enough to not make it hurt you
Weird. i stay to PSing/jumping over that **** unless i feel that the nade is cooked just right so that it throws them off balance or that they definitely cant shield cancel it next to me. maybe im just lucky lol XD

Alright im haveing trouble with shdl i can do 60% of the time when i switch special to z But its harder for me to jab cancel to grab. cause grab is on x.
But when i have on default stats with b its harder for me to shdl.,
Should i just keep on trying with default stats. or do whatever works for me.

I'm not entirely much of a Falco player, but I thought he'd be good for practicing DACUS. (I tried with Fox, but his dash speed momentum is so good, I wasn't sure if I was actually dacusing, or just hyphen-smashing)
I'm pretty sure I'm getting it down, but I don't go very far, or atleast not as I expected. I get about a sixth or fifth of FD's length from what I see.... how far is Falco's DACUS supposed to send him?

do w/e works for you, just make sure you're able to do everything. if you can't then the only advice anyone can give you as far as tech skill goes is to practice.

fox doesn't have a DACUS the chars that do are snake, sheik, falco, wolf, wario, jiggs, link, and diddy if you buffer the DA out of something else.
falco's hyphen smash is ~1/5 or 1/4 of FD length

if you use attack instead of grab to usmash, probably a bit less then half of FD.
Wait, there's a length distance depending on what button I use?

If you're just practicing DACUS, then Snake's your man.
Cool I'll do that.

I believe it was established that everyone had a DACUS, just not everyone got a noticeable boost from it.

errr, well it's kinda pointless to practice a DACUS if you can't tell whether or not you're doing it or not.
didn't think I had to go into detail on how they technically can use the DACUS input

You can't say that one of them is better. There are situations where the normal Dacus is better and others where the BDacus would come in handy.
The normal Dacus goes like 1/3 of fd and the new one about 1/2 of fd.

What I meant with better was the longer, but what you said is true

When we say "new" or "BDacus", are we just talking about the buffered one from that Japanese Diddy video?

Falco isn't very good in teams.

Gnw can kill with his nearly unpunishable smashes (upsmash and dsmash) and he is a very safe character when played right, especially on battlefield or other stages with platforms.

How the hell do i beat Diddy. If there is a discussion thread about this please link because the one i play spams bananas. And i know reflector is your friend but the diddy player is experienced and once i get locked its ridiculous how much combo potential diddy has. I space and get to a high percent but i can't see myself killing him as well since my fsmash theres always nanas to trip me and i get punished for it so i have to read and get a bair kill as my only way which is tough since you can only kill with it for so long.
Oh and lastly, his U-air>my dair from recovering from the air and recovering with falco is impossible lol.
Please help.
