Can you momentum cancel with Skull Bash?

[Jellyfish4102]

Has anyone tested to see if you can momentum cancel in sm4sh with skull bash?

Isn't the games' engine closer to Brawl's? If so, then Skull Bash momentum cancelling could still work. I'm not sure if you're talking about momentum cancelling the move and then use Thunder right after without the bolt hitting Pikachu.

I've watched a lot of the smash4 matches, and have seen no evidence that "momentum-cancelling" exists in this game (at least in the early builds we've seen so far).

And I'm always looking for it, because I was involved in discovering and popularizing momentum-cancelling in Brawl. It's something I just always look for.

I'm not really sure what's up with smash4 in this respect. I don't think I've seen characters really fly very far across the stage before getting KO'd, and I'm also not attuned to the timing of hitstun/knockback. But I definitely haven't seen any weird momentum-shifts in the air.

I've never heard of that.

Interesting, I hope it's back because it was helpful to Pika.

Here's the video.

As you can see, Meta Knight did a F-Smash to Pikachu. It uses Skull Bash to get the momentum, but it can attack out of it. In this case, it uses Thunder without the bolt hitting it. It functions like a wall of some sorts.

That's cool although you can do that without skull bash.

I thought you could only do that with Skull Bash. I was wrong then, my mistake.
Now, I guess we'll have to find out if the move cancels the momentum when Smash 3DS releases, maybe.
