PM Desyncs (PD)
Desyncs that Don't Work (ND)

gameplan for this,
  • go over desyncs that dont work with everyone, and add ones I missed
    • Once we're 100% sure I can say this will have reached 1.0 status
  • add gifs and or a supplemental video going over all of these
    • 1.5
  • add a general uses section
    • 2.0


Ice Climbers are still a relatively under developed character at this point, I want to help change that, especially now that bugs that have turned others away from attempting to learn them have been patched out. The Ice Climbers are known for two things Desyncs and Infinites the later being almost non-existent at this point. But we still have desyncs, aka the cool stuff, and PM being and amalgamation of both Melee and Brawl, we have many desyncs from both games to choose from. So rather than posting links to the Melee and Brawl forums I decided to compile all of the Desyncs that Do and Dont Work in PM(the don's so others can check my work and we can have a more definitive list).

Anytime I refer to Popo in this guide, it will be referring to the main Climber that that you are in control of

Defining Desyncs:

“Usually in a battle, there is a 6 frame delay from one Icy to the next. Desynching is when the Icy's break their typical 6 frame difference by doing a certain set move or set of moves. Desynching widens the gap in timing to more than 6 frames, and is usually a considerable separation between the Icy's. Widening the gap makes it so the player can control both the Icy's simultaneously, have both Icy's do different moves from each other. Every move can be done by Nana or Popo alone except:

Exceptions from desynchs- If you have Popo do blizzard, Nana will also do blizzard at the soonest moment possible for her (assuming she's close enough) if she's not close enough, she will scramble to find you, and when she does get to you, she will blizzard in the opposite direction you are facing. Also: Nana will never over B or up B by herself” - Exarch


“Nana's Box- While the Icys are desynched, Popo can move anywhere by himself, and leave Nana in the dust; however Nana cannot do the same. Instead Nana is stuck inside an imaginary box around Popo. It extends in front, behind, above, and below Popo, but Nana will not turn the opposite direction of Popo(except following a Popo blizzard.) To see this box hold press L or R in to right before they click. Hold this until Popo's shield breaks. Then Popo is stationary and you have complete control of Nana. Full hop to see how high the box goes, have Nana drop below the platform to see how low it goes, walk out in front of Popo to see how far forward it extends, do a short WD backwards to see the back end of it. Nana has a tendency to slide back to Popo in this box if she moved forwards or backwards. Nana can do anything while she is in the box, but once it is broken (dash or WD forward, or WD back) Nana is uncontrollable until she is back beside Popo. Also note, Nana's box is non-existant when Popo is hanging from the edge.” - Exarch

Also it is important to note that Popo's range of influence over Nana is much larger than it was in Melee allow Nana to read your inputs from much farther away. This will be discussed in the PM section(this may have been the case in Brawl as well but switching back and forth between PM and Brawl takes much longer than PM and Melee).

Melee Desyncs: (MD)
Basic (BMD)

(1.M) Desync from spot dodge or Roll
After doing a spot dodge or rolling, buffer any move you want during the endlag. Nana will perform it alone

(2.M) Desync from dash dance
Use 3 Dash dances input move
examples
- 3 mid-long Dashes -> <- -> and attack, only Popo dash attacks
- 3 tight-long Dash -> <- -> and input ice block or blizzard, Nana will perform

(3.M) Grab Desync
Grab someone. While grabbing, one climber is free while the other is holding the opponent
- this of course can lead into the ledge handoffs see @Wobbles thread here for more info:
http://smashboards.com/threads/ledge-chain-grabbing-the-handoff-faq.216589/

(4.M) Foxtrot Desync
You can also do 2 long foxtrots tap down and input (for specials you can buffer ice block, and Blizzard)
- you can also perform a special with Nana and jump with Popo
- Experiment with using the cstick


Not Really a Desync per se but useful

(5.M) Staggered aerial
They are performed by dashing in one direction, then dashing in the opposite direction and jumping. The result is that Nana lags behind you--more so than she normally would--creating a spatial separation between Popo and Nana. The degree of horizontal displacement can be controlled by varying the length of your dashes and the timing of your jump

This is from @Kyu Puff 's Advanced Movement Options Thread there are some super cool ideas and desyncs he has that you should check out: http://smashboards.com/threads/some-advanced-movement-options.410728/


Advanced (AMD)

(6.M) Pivot Desync
Because Nana cannot pivot, pivoting allows you to quickly desync and act with Popo.
Dash in any direction, quickly tap back and immediately release, then input a move. Popo will do the move, but Nana will dash back instead. If done with an Attack-button move. Does not work with USmash, Belay (USpecial) or Squall Hammer (FSpecial).
- Pivot - A button will have Popo do the desired move, and Nana will dash Attack, these two attacks do link together, and Nana hits last.
- Pivot - C-stick, Popo smash Nana dash attack
- Pivot - ice block, Popo will perform alone

(7.M) Stuck Nana desync
Right before landing with Popo, use an ice block, causing Popo to be popped back into the air while using an ice block, Nana, who does not use the ice block and lands on the ground instead, is free to use any move. This desync can also be done with Popo’s second jump, and has the same timing as perfect wavelanding

(8.M)Landing desync
This is done (almost) immediately after Popo lands. He gets stuck in the land animation and Nana can do any attack by herself (except up b and over b). Easiest to see/do with a roll: i.e. screwed up wavelanding.

(9.M) Shield Stun desync
"A lot of the time when ICs are synced and have the same shield size, an enemy's attack will hit both ICs' shields at the same time. Popo and Nana hence exit shield stun at the same time. Since Nana reads inputs 6 frames late, this means that if I input a command within 6 frames of shield stun ending, Popo will ignore it since he's still in shield stun, but Nana will receive it after exiting shield stun and hence act on it. There are a lot of things you can do out of this, but the most useful one to me seems to be telling Nana to jump and blizzard while Popo continues shielding. Ice block instead of blizzard seems better in some circumstances, as well, like when you're confident the enemy will stay near the ground and not throw out a move that will clank with the ice block, or when you don't have a guaranteed punishment OoS and the enemy is outside of blizzard range.

More explicitly, the main application I see of this is to punish or reverse the pressure caused by high damage moves that ICs have a difficult time retaliating against out of shield. For example, Falcon kneeing a shield over and over can be punished with this; it can also be used to retaliate after Ganon fairs your shield, which can be a pretty threatening situation, especially when you're cornered. You can even squeeze a blizzard between two Marth fairs, but the timing for that is pretty strict and much more difficult on your end than Marth's"

(10.M) Low Knockback Projectile Desync
When Ice Climbers are hit with a move, such as grabs and projectiles, that terminates upon collision, usually only one of the climbers are hit by it. If a projectile one Climber the other is free to act during the others hitstun. Though not usually desirable because it splits them up, but in the instance that you are hit with a low knockback projectile, such as Mario’s Fireball, it leaves the Climbers close to each other
- Running forward and short hopping into a fireball Popo gets hit allowing Nana to still act, Using a blizzard to close space and set up a desync wall
- More examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc2y6oYveGA

(11.M) Quick Ledge Grab
- dash towards the ledge
- dash away, right before you reach the ledge
- immediately shield (ideally on the same frame you turn around) - Nana will slide off while shielding and grab the ledge pretty quickly

(12.M) L cancel Desynch
Occasionally when landing from doing and aerial, sometimes Nana fails to Lcancel it. Abuse the fact that Nana has more lag than Popo and desynch them.

(13.M) Respawn Platform Desynch from
Once you have died, and that will happen occasionally to us imperfect icy's, when you drop off the platform Nana is unresponsive until you hit the ground. Because of this you can use an ice block with Popo while you are in the air to separate the icy's. Once Nana lands (before Popo) have her use a move (ice block usually) by herself to desynch. Basically it works like the stuck Nana desynch, except there is a large margin for error. (havent gotten this to work, but even if i did I’m unsure of how useful this would be anyway)

(12.M) - Kyu Puff
(10.M) (11.M) - Fly Amanita
Brawl Desyncs: (BD)

Basic (BBD)

(1.B) Backdash Smash Desync
Dash back, and almost-immediately press A. Nana will FSmash, while Popo will Dash Attack. A can be held to charge the FSmash. If both climbers FSmash, you pressed A too early; if both climbers Dash Attack, you pressed A too late.

(2.B) Starting Desync
Ice Climbers are desynched at the very beginning of every game. During the countdown, hold a move's input, and when the game starts ("GO!") Nana will do the move, while Popo will do nothing.

(3.B) Platform Fall Desync
As you are about to land on a platform, tap down and release immediately. Popo drops through, while Nana lands on the platform. By varying the timing the reverse is also possible

(4.B)Ledge Desync
Tether with USpecial, and either tap forward or press A as she connects with the ledge (after Nana pulls him up but before her animation is over). Alternatively, grab the ledge normally and press Jump. Popo will get up, while Nana will stay on the ledge. Altering the timing for the second method slightly will cause Nana to get up instead of Popo.

Advanced (ABD)

(5.B) Turnaround Desync
By tapping the Control Stick back and releasing almost-immediately, Popo will turn around while Nana will dash. Has the same properties as the Pivot Desync (6.M)

(6.B) Squall Desync
- Do a Squall Hammer (FSpecial), and input a move at the end of its animation. Only Nana will do that move.

(7.B) Run and Roll Desync
Dash, then almost-immediately press Shield. Popo will Roll, Nana will do nothing.

(8.B) Reverse Initial Dash Desync
Input a Reverse Initial Dash, release the stick, and input a move near the end of the dash. Follow-up moves include DSpecial, NSpecial, Grab and Shield+Move. For Specials, one climber will do nothing, while the other will do the move. For Grab, one climber will Grab while the other will Dashgrab. For Shield+Move, one climber will shield while the other does the move. Differing the timing slightly determines which climber does what action.
So to do the RIDd in PM you have to dash backwards, holding the direction you are dashing in for 14 frames
- If you hold it for 15 frames you both will do the what ever you input
- 13 and it just wont work(special)
Then you 5 frames afterward input
And 4 frames after that input a B-reverse if you choose to do so

(9.B)Tipper Desync
If only one Climber connects with a non-projectile attack, the hitlag suffered by only one Climber will allow them to desync.

(10.B) Shield Desync
Use Squall Hammer or Belay out-of-Shield, both Climbers will do the move but they'll be desynched.

(12.B) Short Hop Fastfall Desync ?
Short Hop, Fastfall, and input a move as you land. Only one Climber will do the move. It's strict, but you can choose which Climber does the move by altering the timing.(I've gotten this to work if i jump and fastfall, can also make Nana wavedash and do a move with her. a double check on this would be nice)

(11.B) Trip Desync
When one Climber trips and the other doesn't, they become desynched.

@EverAlert Desyncing guide: http://smashboards.com/threads/guide-to-desynching-i-really-need-to-massively-revise-this.243922/

Project M (PD)
(1.P) C-Up desync OoS
When you are on your shield and you flick the Cstick up Nana will do a Up Smash as you jump, you can also wavedash out of it to keep them desynced or you can try to go for a follow up if Nana gets the Up Smash to hit. If you roll and buffer the next roll to the opposite direction with the Cstick Nana will do a grab as you roll again.

(2.P) Nana stop midgrab (I’ve been calling this the Nannequin :awesome:)
On 3.6 the ability to do mid stage Brawl handoffs has been removed, but making Nana stop on the middle of a grab is still in the game, this happens when Nana is out of your range, she will stop completely in the grab, once you get close she will do a throw depending on where she is(Mid stage up throw, close to a ledge back or forward throw) There is a one-frame window that allows you to controls which way Nana Throws, this allows for the Cuckhold: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBPM/comments/5rnco2/the_cuckhold_or_how_i_learned_to_stop_worrying/

(3.P) Pivot Grab Desync
a subset of the Melee’s Pivot desync (6.M). Pivot and then grab, varying the timing yields different results, from just a turn around grab from both climbers to Nana shooting out and doing a dash grab
  • Dash > Pivot Charge Fsmash (popo) + Dash Grab (nana) (*1)

(4.P) Turnaround Desync

You can desync out during the skidding animation when you turn out of a run.
Lots of different things you can do out of this with various button inputs such as turning inputting shield then any move to make Nana roll away and do that move. This is one is definitely worth experimenting, it may be one of our most versatile tools

(5.P) Hold A Desync
5.Pa
5.Pb
Holding A does weird things to the climbers
  • Split Desync (5.Pa)
    • Holding the A button while running and pressing the c-stick in the opposite direction causes Popo to enter his turn around animation and Nana to pivot run in the opposite direction then enter her turn around animation facing Popo. Not really sure of its usage yet as I'm still exploring it, but you can use it to force a Hard Desync
  • Charged Smash Desync (5.Pb)
    • Charge a smash attack with Stick + A. While holding this, press Z or another button set to Attack (I use the L trigger). This will cause Nana to release her Smash attack. Then release A and your other attack button to make Popo release his smash. And now the Climbers are desynced!
(6.P) Resync Desync
The range that Nana can pick up your inputs is much larger in this game than Melee, so when you are Hard Desynced and Nana is making her way back to you holding a button causes her to do that action as soon as she this range, when she desyncs from you again allow you to continue your shenanigans.
  • Nana will perform the action in whichever direction you are facing for example
    • inputting grab while facing toward the direction she is coming from will cause here to turnaround and do a dash grab, while facing the opposite direction will cause Nana to just do a dash grab

(7.P) Item Desyncs
Some begining notes: when synced nana will not attack usually, however she will f-smash. Z-dropping with Popo will pass the item to Nana when synced
  • You can desync the Nana with during the an item's throw animation,
    • example:Jump forward-item throw (Popo)-Blizzard (Nana) or Up-item throw f-smash.
    • Also you can Nanapault out of a forward item throw.(g)
  • Glide tossing
    • Grounded
      • Causes the item-less Ice Climber to roll allow you use the roll desync
      • While running glide tossing up causes the item-less ice climber to jump
    • Air
      • Causes the item-less Ice Climber to air-dodge allowing you to desync during the end lag
        • AGTing with Popo back while tossing forward passes the item to Nana, easier while drifting back (g)
        • AGTing with Nana back while tossing forward has Nana throw the Item out in front ready to input a move(g)
  • While Nana is holding an Item, Nana can do anything, even grab, out of the roll or spot dodge desync, she will not throw the item. Good way to maintain your walls while keeping items away from you're opponent.
(8.P) Early C-Stick Desync
It seems that immediately inputting something with the c-stick when rolling or spotdodging causes Nana to buffer a grab

(9.P) Dbl. Roll/Spotdodge Desync
You can buffer a roll with Nana out of a roll or spotdodge and have her buffer a move out of that roll.
You can combine this with (8.P) (left-right-left with c-stick etc)

(10.P) DACUS (notreally) Desyncs

  • While running releasing the ctrl stick, hitting up on the c stick and then Z, causes Popo to up Smash and Nana to grab. If you connect the up-smash nana grab will also connect
  • While running flick the ctrl stick down, hit the c stick up and then press A, Popo will up smash Nana will dash attack
  • While running press shield then up on the c-stick, Nana will up smash Popo will jump (1.P)
    • By varying the timing you can make Popo up-smash and Nana jump (I'm still working out the specifics)
(11.P) Z-Sync
What was originally thought to only be Popo's Jab deysnced into Nana grab turns out to much larger implications. By using a regular attack and then frame after pressing Z, and any other button at the same time allows Climbers immediately to desync. This is the Fastest way (I'm pretty sure) That we can desync, and opens a plethora of way to cover and covert. please see the video in the spoiler to see more options
A guide on Z-syncs by Cuckdaddy: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBPM/comments/5ttblk/how_to_break_hands_and_frametrap_people_zsyncing/

(12.P) Desync from the edge
Nana will perform any input while either she or Popo are hanging onto the ledge

(13.P) AC-DC

(14.P) Platform Fall Dsync

Here are all the Desyncs I found that I couldn't perform (ND)
100% sure it doesn't work
Only Accomplished in Debug mode

Melee​

(1.ND) Desynch from grab
If you don’t grab anyone, works like the roll or spotdodge desync

(2.ND) Solo Squall
After doing any A attack press over and B. Done correctly, Popo will do the squall hammer himself. Hitting diagonal down and across instead causes Popo to squall and Nana to blizzard, which you can still desynch from, as Nana’s blizzard ends before Popo’s squall. **Semi-glitch/interesting animation** Do this desynch, but while Popo does the over B hold the opposite direction you initially used (hit right and B then hold left, or vice versa.) Nana retreats with you, pivoting from front to back, front to back, etc. (not back to front though); just some funny animation in the game.


(3.ND). Fast Fall Desynch
Short hop, fast fall and jump again. Time this correctly and only Popo will jump the second time. Do an aerial, and have Nana do anything while Popo recovers (this means forget the lcancel). This is the most useful way to use this I’ve found.

(4.ND) Guarded Desynch
Actually I found this while writing this guide: sweet. Anyways, from a standing position with the correct amount of tilting of the control stick and the right timing of the A button; it is possible to have Popo reverse directions and tilt, while Nana jabs in the original direction (demonstrated in DV.) Because the jab ends faster than the ftilt, you can have Nana do any move by herself, and have Popo do a few on his own too (from the looks of it anyways…).


*Side note 2: When wavedashing, holding the opposite direction you are facing will sometimes cause the Icy’s to use the same move but in opposite directions. Downsmash, upsmash and grab all work this way (c-stick and z). This is also a way to set up a moving guarded desynch, if you hit A instead of the c-stick and z, and is much easier to do than a standing one.

(5.ND) Desynch from taunt- Works the same as 1, 2, and the first part of 4. I don't know why I didn't see this before. Obviously the best way to desynch.



(6.ND) Initial dash Desynch
From standing position if you smash the joystick left or right and hit A at the correct time Popo will do a dash attack and Nana will do a forward smash, obviously, you can also hold in A to make her charge it and follow you. You have a 6 frame window for pressing A for this to work.







Brawl​
(7.ND) Buffer Desync
With the exception of Squall Hammer (FSpecial) or Belay (USpecial), perform any move and while in the lag of that move buffer a dash in the opposite direction to your facing. When the lag ends, only Nana will dash, while Popo will simply turn around.


(8.ND) Blonde Roll
Press Shield and Back at the same time. Popo will roll back, while Nana will roll forward. Pressing Grab and CStick Forward also yields the same result.


(9.ND) A-Hit Desync
Hit the opponent with any synced A Button move. For aerials excepting BAir, fastfall and buffer a move during the landing lag. For BAir, hold an input at the end of the move itself. For grounded moves, buffer another move out of it.


(10.ND) Short Hop Fastfall Desync
Short Hop, Fastfall, and input a move as you land. Only one Climber will do the move. It's strict, but you can choose which Climber does the move by altering the timing.(i can do this out of a full jump, cn also make nana wavedash and do a move)

(11.ND) Tilt Desync
Tilt the Control Stick diagonally and press Attack simultaneously. Popo and Nana will do different Tilts.


(12.ND) Grab Roll Desync
Press Grab and tap the Control Stick back simultaneously. Popo rolls, while Nana pivot grabs.

(13.ND) Standing Nana Desync
While standing, smoothly move the Control Stick to halfway between center and the back rim (the rim behind you), then snap the Control Stick in a dashing motion to the forward rim (the side you were originally facing), and input any move during the second motion (typically holding Attack). The effect changes depending on what you input during the snap. Pressing Attack on the early side yields and FTilt from Nana, holding Attack on the late side causes her to charge an FSmash. There are many derivatives and applications (see: 2.9, "Standing Nana Derivatives").

(14.ND) Dash Delay Desync
Input a Dash, wait half a second, then press Attack.The result depends on the timing. Either Popo will Dash Attack and Nana will Jab, or Popo will Jab and Nana will do nothing.

(15.ND) Hyphen Smash Desync
Perform a Hyphen Smash (Running USmash), backdash after the lag and immediately Hyphen Smash again. Popo will do the Hyphen Smash again, while Nana will Dash Attack.

(16.ND) Dashbounce Desync
Dash (hold the dash), and as the dash is about to transition into a run, let go of the Control Stick and wavebounce either an Ice Shot (NSpecial) or Blizzard (DSpecial). Nana will bounce the move while Popo will dash back. Can be performed with other moves, but without the bounce.

(17.ND)Ledge Desync
(Tether with USpecial, and either tap forward or press A as he connects with the ledge (after Nana pulls him up but before her animation is over)) this works
(Alternatively, grab the ledge normally and press Jump. Popo will get up, while Nana will stay on the ledge. Altering the timing for the second method slightly will cause Nana to get up instead of Popo.) this does not

(18.ND)Shield up B desync
Only known way to desync out of your shield. Simply shield upb, then hit an aerial attack. Nana gets throw up over Popo (not too high) and is able to do blizzard, ice block, or any aerial by herself. Popo has a little more lag on him than other desyncs, but it's not significant. However, because of this lag, this desync is one of the easiest to do. Highly recommended against characters you can't shield grab--shield up b desync with a blizzard. (Harder than in Melee? or am I bad)

I was reading through this guide and fiddling with some desyncs and I think I found a brand new one! However it requires a trigger set to Attack, something I'd recommend for the ICs because it lets you do easy Brawl pivots which makes your desyncs super easy on the fly.

Charge a smash attack with Stick + A. While holding this, press another button set to Attack (I use the L trigger). This will cause Nana to release her Smash attack. Then release A and your other attack button to make Popo release his smash. And now the Climbers are desynced!


Also using the trigger attack method, you can do a desync that I can't do with a normal pivot desync.

Holding Attack, dash one way and then Cstick the opposite way. Popo charges Fsmash and Nana doesn't do anything but can quickly act.

Nice! I'll add it once I actually wake up

*edit*
You can also make Nana swing using grab, I'm going to replace the split desync with "Hold A desync" and add both that and this as a subset of it.
I havent had any problems doing the pivot with shoulder attack

To add to this list.
Grab cancelled jab. Press A to initiate a jab then almost immediately after press Z. The Z interrupts Nana's start up on the jab and makes her perform a grab. Then due to the longer end lag on grab, Popo can begin the desync. This one allows you to begin the desync with Popo allowing you to start a Nanapult more quickly. I have no way of recording matches right now but I am getting a recording device soon so I can throw in a gif of it later.

Ya, I haven't goofed around enough yet to get the most out of it. But it's another option. I've used it for edge guarding with ice block blizzard Ledge grab. Thats the main purpose I've used it for so far.

This is a crazy useful post! I learned a lot. It's a shame that there's no way to make Nana do any throw you want in this version.
Although you can't do tht anymore, I've seen videos/GIFs of using popo/nana grab and having one of the climbers run away, only to run back in for a handoff. I can't seem to find a way to get nana/popo hold the grab while having the other run away. Could someone explain this to me like I'm five?

so when that is happens Popo is f-throwing(smash the control stick forward), this causes Nana to run forward. You then want to hit back and grab, causing Nana to do a pivot grab. Now, if you timed this right Nana will grab your opponent outside of Popo's range of influence causing Nana to just hold them (referenced in (2.P)) leaving Popo free to run around.
Hopefully this helps

I'm having a large amount of trouble doing the ledge desyncs, especially the second method. I think I may be unclear on how to actually do it. Do I just grab the ledge and hit jump? That seems to make them both jump. The first method works for me maybe one sixth of the time. Is the timing very strict?

So as soon as Nana starts grabs the ledge and pulls Popo (just realized there was a typo where it said he instead of she) you input your attack/jump/getup. from some quick testing the closer you are the harder it is to do. So I'd try from a little further from the ledge
I use that olive color to signify things I'm unsure work in PM

I finally have a way to record some gifs, not the highest quality but it gets the job done. Gifs for the PM Desyncs done, should have either melee or brawl done within the next 2 weeks

Hopefully updating tonight, re-recording for better quality(hopefully, my computer is doing the best it can)

edit*
Lots of gifs added, I have to redo some because the recording got messed up, so gonna be working on that and probably redoing the PM desync gifs with the new fixed camera/ climbers alone on the stage. I think it lootts a little better

Two more Desyncs I've been using that I haven't seen posted yet.

Moving Platform Dair Desync: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA2YQCu8r-8

Input Dair as soon as you pass through a moving platform. One Climber will stay in Dair animation and the other will be actionable. Different timings can allow popo or nana to be the first actionable climber.


C-Stick + Shield Desync: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TqaGt64pKM

Input a C-Stick move and Shield at the same time. Nana will preform the Shield + Cstick command while Popo will preform the Cstick command only.

You can also do this with Shield + Direction + A which will cause popo to grab and nana to Roll/Spotdodge

Instead of three different ones just call it a "Shield option desync" which is if you do any grounded move and press sheild before nana does the move popo will do the grounded move and nana will do the shield option. so jab/tilts become grab,neutral special becomes normal sheild, dash attack becomes dash grab, side-b and f-smash become rolls, down-b and down smash becoming spot dodge. Finally up smash gets nana to jump but i couldn't get it to work with up-b so yea up b doesn't work with it.
