Drill Rush Spike

[Sideswipe]

I stumbled upon a bit of tech with Meta Knight's Side-B (Drill Rush) where you can actually spike at a sweet spot.

This happens toward the end of MK's drill animation where he launches an enemy. If you hold down then let go somewhere between the 2nd to last drill and 3rd to last hit, you'll bounce off the enemy and the enemy will be launched straight downward.

This appears to have properties similar to the F-air/B-air spike. I'll try to record it sometime today/tomorrow when I have more free time I just wanted to post this as soon as possible so everyone would know.

Also, yes this DOES work on both the 3DS and Wii U versions.

Edit: Here's a quick upload of the spike on the 3DS version

Definitely going to try this later tonight - good find!

Can this work when they are facing straight on the ground(the position where they missed the tech?) If this can be a viable option when near the ledge.
