if the match doesn't have a time limit than you have to kill him some time

It's hard to use well against someone who knows what they're doing. I don't use it when I'm serious because of how risky and punishable it can be.

It's useful because when you do it, you can hover around and attack your opponent without notice. Then do it again. You should never get hit, they should rarely be able to avoid it (only luck with the shield can save them here). You can punish any time your opponent does anything that has vulnerability lag (which is pretty much everything.)

In my mind, it seems like either this should be banned or MK should be banned, because if he has this option in his arsenal, there would beat no way to be him, stalling aside.

I just laughed at him...

I don't think it's possible to ban this tech cause it'll be too hard to know when people do it, and you can't have a judge at every MK with a timer say ARGH that lasted 0.3 seconds too long heheh

It's reasons like this that I'm afraid people will go nuts if someone throws out an ordinary DC in a tourney. It still had it's perks, not too many, but it is far from worthless.

as long as most of us don't abuse it I think we're good..

of course someone will, but I don't think that the majority of MK's that can, will abuse it

if it get's viewed as more of an offensive AT and not one you use every time you get nervous and run away that would be great

I've been using it against projectile spammers. I've gotten very good with the location of where meta will end up after using this move ( I've practiced on most stages). If it is a big stage then you have a little bit of breathing room for miscalculation. On smaller stages like smashville you could make afool of yourself. I also use it to get away from the edge if I have a high percentage. Many people in this forum say that this move hurts their game, but for me it has added a little extra to my game. I also don't use the move alot during the match maybe once or twice. When I was playing someone 1v1 I was doing the move and he started complaning about the lag which I thought was funny:laugh:

it is kind of imposseble to do the IDC for more than 2 minuts your arm will hurt so dam much
a cupple uses is to use it to conter a projectile barage(this will completely eleminate his weakness to projectiles), mass edge hoging, i think it can be used as a recovery move, and it can be used against final smashes(for fun matches).
