Auto-Jab, does it un-stale moves?

[GenericKen]

Hi all.

From what I saw in the DDD thread about the wall-less inf chaingrab, the stalemove count is 9.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on the mechanics of stale moves, but I get the impression that only your last 9 moves are stale.

Questions:
-Do the attacks have to connect to un-stale previous moves?

-If not, does holding down a for Kirby's auto-Jab (the 2 frame one, not the lightning hands one) clear out the stale move list in, like, half a second?

-Does each hit count as an entry in the stale moves list or each execution? Lightning hands, again, comes to mind.

-Does clearing the stale moves list un-stale already stale moves, or only prevent moves from becoming stale? (if the latter, it could still be useful after back-kicking an opponent 4 times in a row)

You do need to actually HIT the opponent to un-stale moves. And that doesn't count each hit of multi-hit single attacks like the lightning hands punch, but it DOES count the one two and the first hit of the multi-jab.

So at most, using his AAA combo on someone will result in 3 un-stale points for your other moves, since each hit is a separate attack.

But if you used Final Cutter for example, you would only clear 1 un-stale point for all 3 hits.

Does that explain it?

But characters like Bowser, who Up-B out of shield could stop right away jump a single jab.
