Do you land PK flash usually?

I rarley even use PK Flash, and most of the time I do, it's usually by accident. But I usually let it explode immediatly if I know it's not gonna hit anyone

The only time I use PK flash is when Scotu is recovering against my ness as captain falcon in melee. It gives me enough time to hit him out of his ledge-hopped knee with the fully charged PK flash just as his invincibility wears off (BTW, they trade).

PS, I'm 2 for 2 in the last week.

I've landed a few funny ones. Like just going up towards my opponent then down towards me. They run towards me while I'm vulnerable not realizing the PK Flash isn't going anywhere.

You would think most people wouldn't be so... dumb.

I can hit my PK Flash about 90% of the time. However, I use it sparingly, such as when someone jumps back onto the stage from a ledge hang. Since it's an animation w/ no invincibility frames, they can't dodge out of it. If you're timing isn't garbage, it's a sure thing.

If they think attacking the head is such a good idea, they are mistaken unless they have a disjointed hitbox downwards (not many characters have this). The best way to avoid PKT is to keep your DJ. Good strategy.

For me, PK Flash is used when there is a platform above me, like BF. They really can't punish unless they see it coming. Other than that, I would use it against characters with ridiculous dairs or stalling dairs (:mad: I'm looking at you Lucario, cause ROB doesn't need to approach).

Jointed attacks can swat it, I believe... in fact, I'm sure they can.
What do you mean by swat? Are you saying they can outprioritize it? Even if they could, I only really need it for those two, since I can utilt pretty much anyone else (might have missed a few that I can't).
