Catching Bullets: Clanking with Projectiles

[PHYTO-1]

Little Mac has very little options against projectiles. Sure you could maybe jump, roll, creep in with the shield.

But why not just punch that f***sh*t? Projectiles?? F YOU!

In case you didn't know, clanking also fills up your KO meter. So heck yea.




I will only list the quickest, weakest and also safest move you could whip out.

edit:

Also, D-Tilt has less endlag than Jab1, assuming you're not continuing the Jab, and it charges the KO Punch more, so that's often the ideal way to clank out projectiles while still being concerned about retaliation. If you have a choice between the two and you're not fighting Luigi's fireballs, D-Tilt is the way to go.

//

• Fireb***s - jab/dtilt
• Pillz here! - jab/dtilt

• All turnips except dot-eyes and stitchface - jab/dtilt

doteyes and stitchface happen so rarely that i couldn't be f***ed to test them so f*** you.

/

• Flamebreath - Don't even bother...not that you can't but more so.. why?

• Egg - dtilt /utilt

• 

and

• Cannon - uncharged - jab/dtilt
• full charged - dash attack
• also you can jab his little tokyo drifting ass

• Banana - jab
• Peanut - jab

1. i wouldn't recommend dtilt because they both travel at an arc and will likely go above dtilts hitbox

• boomerang - dtilt
• arrow - uncharged - jab/dtilt
• arrow - fully charged - upb lol.

1. don't even bother trying to hit the arrow whether uncharged or not because its hitbox is really small and will probably hit either your head or your feet.

• Din's fire - jab/dtilt
• Din's fire - fully charged - jab/dtilt IFF its hitbox doesn't also engulf you , otherwise usmash.

1. even then you should just run up to her and punch her in the vag

• Knight thing - just usmash OOS so you can nullify it

• needles can suck my
• grenade can be clanked but MF just kick that b**ch in the androgynous crotch

• uhh you can jab his side b tho

• arrows i guess - jab, dtilt
• boomerang - jab/dtilt

• both missiles - jab, homing missile can be dtilt

1. you can also dash/crouch under the super missile sometimes (cuz z-axis BS)

• charge blast - uncharged - jab/dtilt
• fully charged - fsmash

• stun gun uncharged - jab (you can try to dtilt it but its hitbox is small and doesnt clank consistently)
• stun gun - fully charged - jab/dtilt

1. my anaconda don't want none unless you got stun guns.

/

• arrow - you can jab them but its very inconsistent. not to mention they can just aim them to throw you off

waifu

• Thunder - jab/ftilt (dash/crouch)
• Thunderino - jab/dtilt
• Thundaga - meh...its hitbox lingers too long and you can kinda dash/crouch under it but not really tho
• Thoron - dash/crouch

• Frisbee - jab/dtilt/ftilt
• Cartel - ironically, you cannot (or because theyre so tiny its just difficult to) clank them. You can however dash/crouch under the black guy

• Thunderjolt - jab/dtilt

• aura sphere uncharged - jab/dtilt
• fully charged - no aura - jab/dtilt
• fully charged - full aura - side b or charged fsmash (side b leaves you open because clanks dont interrupt if youre in midair. mac will clank the sphere and keep going along his arc)

• shuriken - uncharged - dtilt
• fully charged is multihits and cannot be clanked

• Gyro - uncharged - jab/dtilt
• fully charged - dtilt

• Dildoid - jab/dtilt
• bair/fair can be but because theyre so small its highly unlikely. you can try with utilt because of its sweeping hitbox but meh

"Lets work some kegels"

• sun sphere - uncharged - jab/dtilt, dash/crouch
• fully charged - dash attack, fsmash
• fully charged with deep throat boost - fsmash
• volleyball is like gordo, just attack it

• Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Galaga, Bell - jab/dtilt
• Melon, Key - dtilt

• Sawblade - jab/dtilt
• Crash Bomb - jab/dtilt
• Leaf Shield - jab/dtilt

• shadow ball - uncharged - jab/dtilt
• fully charged - fsmash

ummm so yeah f*** miis and custom moves. there are other moves that are technically projectiles but just not as easily spammable or hard to deal with

thanks.

What can we do against Robin/Wario?

Male Robin not sure, but female Robin is listed there.

As for wario... are you telling me you have a hard time dealing with him throwing his bike around?

Yeah u.u I fought a custom Wario with the fast bike and couldn't find what to do. Also, sorry didn't see Robin

blech customs? i have no idea about them. sorry broski

If a Wario rides his Bike into you, you can use a Smash attack, armor through the hitbox, and hit the Bike (and Wario if he's still on it). If he's quickly ditching the Bike, you can probably use a Forward-B if you time the hit well (as in, before the Bike itself would hit you).

Also, D-Tilt has less endlag than Jab1, assuming you're not continuing the Jab, and it charges the KO Punch more, so that's often the ideal way to clank out projectiles while still being concerned about retaliation. If you have a choice between the two and you're not fighting Luigi's fireballs, D-Tilt is the way to go.

ok cool. though just holding A is easier and funnier imo

So question... If the projectile does 5% do you gain more meter from up smashing? or down tilting

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Actually, you don't add anything to your meter if you outprioritize it based on damage. If your move deals 8+% over what you're clanking with, it doesn't benefit you.

So with a Mario Fireball (deals 4%), a Mac D-Smash (12%) will not fill your bar at all as you clank with it.

Also, Mac's Jabs and Tilts have a special property where they will not stop based on priority (which is entirely based on damage those moves deal). You can't clank out Mac's Jabs or Tilts, basically--They just keep going, for better or worse.

^ FTilt for the above reason is fantastic as the first hit will force a clank vs other attacks, guaranteeing the second hit. FTilt is also pretty good for beating some projectiles that jab can't, as they hit projectiles at about the same level but FTilt both hits have slightly higher priority due to higher damage (2% vs 4% and 8%).
