Drop Zone?

[Doublecork]

Can someone explain how to "drop zone" someone with the knee? I understand the idea of it but a further explanation of it would be appreciated.

I got a drop zone knee from a weird upsmash hit the other day.

Not like this (unless you really dislike Shy Guys).

Also, I don't know the percents, but you can D-throw -> Dropzone Spacies and Falcons at a high enough percent, but I'm not sure how much of the rest of the cast it works on. Also, make sure not to knee too late because then you will likely SD.

Dropzone works on almost all the characters if the percent and DI are in order.

Dropzone > dair is really good on sheik and marth if they DI in like noobs, since you'll almost always hit with the nipple spike.

This is a scrub question but I seem to not be able to recover after drop zones, any tips.?

If you can't recover after the dropzone, that just means you're kneeing too late. EDIT: Or you could be fastfalling accidentally. Either one of these would result in an SD.

I think I'm just kneeing too late, thanks guise

Practice it on yoshi's story. If you don't knee early enough you'll die at the bottom before you even get to jump.

Any tips for kneeing at the right moment? I'm having trouble getting the timing down.

 

[Nicco]

Just practice you guys. You'll get it eventually! :D

dropzone reverse bair -> knee feels amazing

So I tried practicing drop zones a little while ago, and as far as I know the most popular one is D Throw>Knee on spacies. What I've found really simplifies the drop zone, if you grab with Z and downthrow, and then dash off and Knee them using Z. So Like Z-Fair. Really quickens things up compared to Shield Grab Forward A or C-Stick

I like that idea, I'll have to try it.

And yes, drop zone knee usually only works on FF'ers. I'd use a safer option against floaties.

I usually use c-stick for my aerials. The thing that works for me is I try to grab as close to the edge as possible, dthrow, buffer moving forward to fall off the ledge, then knee while buffering my jump (if I'm sure that it's actually safe). It really is all reading the DI though, and having good character control.
