Down tilt and tripping. Check this out!

[NESSBOUNDER]

Ok, so over on the general boards, I asked Hitaku if he could confirm that Lucas's down tilt trips opponents occasionally. Not only did he confirm it, but he ran a bunch of tests and got the general % that the tripping will occur!

For starters, the more you spam thus move, the higher the chances the opponent will trip. At 0% your opponent trips about 11% of the time, but here's the interesting part: the higher your opponent's damage, the more they'll trip from repeated dtilts. Hitaku got the target to trip about once for every four kicks when they were at 100%

Dtilt spam trip to side/down smash, anyone?

Or Up Smash, since it does tend to "suck" opponents in from the side. Down Smash would probably be your best bet in that case, though, simply because the opponent will be right there on the ground--just in case they're too small to get hit with the branch / Up Smash.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Upsmash may not be fast enough, and I'm pretty sure that the branch can even hit opponents who are down on the ground. Downsmash doesn't have as much KO power, but yeah, it'd probably be the safest one to use.

Ive noticed this. fsmash is safest. dsmash is to tempermental. i only ever really use it if i think my opponent is going to sidestep me!

good find bounder, look forward to u having the game

*rips out hair*

I am so going to import the US version once I can find the best way to do so, and effectively mod my Wii!

Mod.

10char

Dude, this is an amazing find. I'm totally gonna' use it.

I haven't seen much tripping but do you think there would be enough time to use PK Freeze? Because I'd actually like to use that move once in a while.

 

[Hardcorenesser]

What do you mean when you say mod 10char? does that even have anything to do with area lock?

He said he was gong to mod his wii, which would allow it to play cross-region games. >_>

 

[Hardcorenesser]

how do you do that? i bought a japanese wii so i could have the game. modifying my wii would have been so much easier...

 

[PK Starstorm]

this will be cool

 

[Hardcorenesser]

this will be cool

You mean the game? everyone knows that. if you're talking about tripping, then yes, it will be cool as well.

 

[Qinopio]

Yeah, this works for Ness's down-A as well.

 

[Hardcorenesser]

^ Really? I've used it a lot and it hasn't tripped them yet... does it have a lower tripping percentage?
