Anytime. It just bugged me when a top snake gets hit by metaknight cause they DACUSed.

Back to my metaknight/wolf maining!

The worse is Dacus against DDD only to have him grab me out of it. Not even a shield grab. He just stood there and grabed. I try to use it to close space, i.e. a bair hit opponent to opposite side of FD - Dacus to close the distance and start setting up my edge guard. But I won't lie, I can cut down on it.

The DACUS I'm targeting is when
your dash attack into their shield and you upsmash out of habit. Which of course gets you punished cause they just drop shield and walk up and smash you.

Well dash attacking into a shield is generally terrible. It gets me shield grabbed 90% of the time.

I didn't realize that...

But it's so fun to slide! I seriously did the whole Subspace Emissary with my DACUS

But maybe I'll use it less

I think if they shield your dash attack, the best thing to do is do an upsmash so you're farther away. Sometimes they drop shield too soon and get hit by the upsmash as wel

I don't use DACUS a lot tbh. It gets predictable which makes it punishable if you spam it too much >_>

Yea this is very true, I'm pretty guilty of it also. It's not a great idea in Snake dittos if Snake opponent is at low % because then they can Bair you while you're usmashing.

I actually imagine snake being on roller skates a lot, like, he just picked that up from fatman, skate around and drop bombs everywhere

The rule for dacus is to simply not use it against people who have relatively fast OoS options. :p
