very cool. i think the blue marth perfect shielded the white marth's first hit on the same frame (or the frame before) the KO punch connected, so the perfect shield negated any KO punch hitbox from actually connecting. that's my guess.
It might have something to do with the fact that the other marth is hitting his shield right at the same time as the KO punch conects. Putting the first marth`s shield in a wierd state that ignores the KO punch. I don`t know if you become intangible when perfect shielding something, if that is the case that would explain it. I do know that your entire character is in a diffrent state when you perfect shield something. It seems like the marth has intangible properties, however the KO punch hits him as if he did not.
Im just gonna put down here what I put on youtube comments section.
i was unable to replicate a perfect shield on a jump canceled KO punch.
uair and fair are useful. i like to do dtilt > uair/fair when my sideb no longer connects. if they doublejump away then simply follow them, if they airdodge then it can be punishable. baiting airdodges becomes easier when you make your opponent aware of your aerial presence.
haven't really been on the boards in a long time, but i do think this is relatively old knowledge. the reason why it's not done more often is because it still uses his second jump, and you're pretty close to the ledge. eg. a drop-through bair would put mac in a really bad spot. with the ducks, you're closer to the center of the stage even if you use your second jump. i think it's a good option sometimes as a mixup, but i don't think it's game changing.
1. I´d not recomend you start with playing bidou. It will make advanced techs more easy to preform, that is true. However you should start with learning the fundamental basics of the game first. Its only really usefull if you understand how the game works in the big picture.
Yes, it still only counts as a normal f-smash, even though it has diffrent properties. Same is true for his up angeled.
I think starting with the Bidou control scheme is not a bad idea since it's your first control scheme experience. I practiced for an hour or so and found it cumbersome but I've been playing Smash since 64 and have used a similar control scheme since Brawl.
