*discovery* FINALLY a use for wing cancelling: platform wing cancel

[lmnz]

it's simple. it works like wavelanding onto platforms in melee to chase after people's platform wakeup options but since brawl doesn't let you do that pit can wing cancel onto platforms and use it in the same sense. i know there's platform cancelling on moving platforms but pit's wing cancel can be done on ANY platform not just moving ones. too good? i think so. i'll test this out next time i get the chance to play good people.

for people who couldn't imagine what i'm talking about. go to battlefield and
-full hop under a platform
-when you're a little above the platform level press up+b
-d-air to cancel
-punish opponent =]

why is pit so good? =D

EDIT: more stuff i figured out. instead of cancelling the up+b you can go straight off wing renewal off the platform. unlike regular platform cancelling where you can only do it from your first jump platform wing cancel can be done out of ANY jump since you can up+b out of any of your jumps. this gives better positioning under the platforms and keep delays between jump for mindgames... sorta. wing renewal activates when you up+b so even when you get hit it won't cost you your life. wing push is still active(something to keep in mind)

there's many other possibilities from cancelling or not cancelling this so i'll leave this at that for now.

Great way to apply the newly found techs. Havent thought of using the platforms to wing renewal.

Very cool. Another Thing I found is that this can be applied as a good edge hogging technique. Up B allows you to quickly glide to the edge and grab it faster than running and dropping of the edge. Plus it gives you the option to attack while keeping all of your recovery options.

Nice I thought that wing cancelling was worthless this can really be useful

I know I sound dumb, but I'm behind on technical terms, so can you dumb it down for me to understand?

Go here to learn all the technical lingo.

I'll have to try this out. If it works, you should feel like you won the race into outer space. Everyone's been trying to find a use for this.

Very cool. I want to point out that you don't have to use Dair to cancel the wings. You can also use Uair and Nair.
-Uair canceling is good for using an Up tilt out of the cancel and
-Dair canceling is good for using a Down tilt attack.
-Use Nair canceling is good for neutral attacks as well as ALL Smashes.

I'm starting to see the possibilities unfold. Its cool!

oh man justin i know ur itching to test this out on ppl =P. sigh only if other characters can do something like this -___-

 

[HolyForce]

lmnz, thanks for sharing. I will practice this and merge it into my arsenal. Much appreciated!

 

[kupo15]

I have tried this yesterday against my friend and I have to say this is Awesome! This AT is sooo much fun and really helps out. I killed my friend with a string of combos using this and the standard Moving Platform Cancel.
This whole wing renewal has great potential! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Rhyfelwyr]

Are there any new combos opened up by this? Could you Down-throw someone underneath a platform, and use WPC to Up-smash him instead of U-air?

 

[lmnz]

i'm still testing its uses but there's many ways to chase people down with this. i sometimes use it to grab people off platforms that expect me to u-air them underneath etc.

Cool i cant wait to try this against snake I HATE SNAKE

 

[istudying]

Good idea to use it for Snake's
