Charizard Mechanic Shinanigans

Since you guys don't a Q&A thread stickied (or I just didn't look for one), I'm going to make this. Close it when need be.


So I was randomly playing Charizard's weird grab in training mode. I know for a fact that the PT boards have acknowledged the fact that Charizard moves up an inch when he regrabs.

However, experiment with this.

Grab with Charizard. After the last few frames, hold shield and you will notice that Charizard inches BACKWARD.

I don't really know how this could be useful, didn't try to look for a use, but I figured it was worth noticing since Pit had the same thing with his spotdodge > smash or whatever.

Again, if this is already known, close this without hesitation, and I apologize for wasting about 2 minutes reading this.

I've known this for a while now. It's part of why Charizard's shield grab is so unpunishable.

I swear if he had just 2 less frames of lag on his grab release, he'd have D3 beat in the CG department.

Everyone would be as helpless as Ness against the great & terrible Charizard. Yep......and if Ivysaur had a follow-up on her grab releases.....that would just be too much.

learn to use the stickies if you need to find a thread (Pokemon Center). You will find they are quite useful. :l

It could have also just gone in the Charizard Tactical Discussion or any other appropriate place.
