DK's insane glide toss

[itsthebigfoot]

I was playing doubles today, and my partner was diddy, i picked up a banana and when i glide tossed it i slid across the entire stage. Thats right, DK can slide across smashville with his glide toss, it goes over half way on fd, this sets up insane long range fsmashes.

if you ever fight a link/peach/diddy/anyone with items, catch it and try, you go insanely far

Oh wow, I just went to training mode and tried this out. It's really incredible. He slides about half the distance of FD. Imagine gliding over to your opponent from halfway across the stage and unleashing a fully charged Giant Punch right in their face. That would be great. XD

I've been considering making DK my alt, and this sounds like an interesting quirk. I'll have to play with it a bit, thanks for the heads up

I purposly chose not to glide toss with DK assuming it would be balls. Great find Bigfoot. =)

That pretty awesome he has a good GT, and it is good news for me since we play with items in our 4player FFA matches.

what a glidetoss?

 

[Kyle_Wattula]

Glide toss is a technique where you combines an item throw with a roll.

Input= Roll,A

Pretty tight and quick timing. You actually Kara cancel the roll with an item toss.. If you know what that means.

yeah, glide toss to fsmash seems to wreck my friends diddy, works good in doubles too

 

[itsthebigfoot]

sorry, it double posted for some reason

Haha... i was just playing with this today. Its incredibly useful and funny, doing a glide toss - hitting diddy - then a fsmash as you glide toward him while he's still on the ground from the slip.

I didn't realize that you could also throw the item down/up, instead of foward, as you're gliding... i don't know what the use would be but i guess its interesting.

Nice, I've been using this vs. Diddy and ROB lately.

I imagine it would be great in doubles, it practically guarantees at least a ftilt if you hit with a banana

 

[ICEDTEA1325]

nice good find!!

 

[Nicktendo]

I've been having a so-so time vsing Diddy, I'll defintely have to try this out as I have yet to

 

[Cancel]

Nice find im going to have to try this later.

 

[BerDinosaur]

Sounds like a great find man. Now, if only DK had a projectile like Diddy and Rob...

i guess for DK it wouldnt be very useful to throw it down since you slide so far away from it, but a diddy would usually throw it down and slide backwards for defensive purposes.

 

[Brahma]

If you throw it down with a glide backwards, then Fsmash/>B/Punch, you can catch a Diddy trying to dash attack you. He'll either slip on the banana and eat the free hit, or catch the banana with his dash. If he catches it, his options are limited. Punch will SA through an attack, >B will pressure shield.

Anyone tried to make this more legit with a downsmash?

I've had some success using this against Snake's grenades. Sometimes it's not possible to pick up grenades with enough time, since some Snakes like to cook them a bit before tossing, but I've noticed that it's more popular to throw a preliminary grenade out and then cook a second. Either way, if you pick up a nade and glide toss forward while throwing it back, you don't get caught in the explosion and you're squared up for a double bair. If you were too close, you slide through him and can just grab him from behind. Both are nice set ups for the easiest spike known to man.

Again, this can get real ugly if cooking another grenade since you'll just explode upon kick and then get jab comboed. I think it works well enough to be used once in awhile, though.

I think generally when I glide toss I throw backwards so I can quickly double bair. Against shorter characters (read: Diddy), I throw forward and follow with a dsmash or fsmash as TechnoMonster hinted at. Definitely a neat technique for DK.
