Easiest Way to Practice Gatling combo.

[saviorslegacy]

Since I had trouble doing it and looks like most new people are to. Here's an in depth guide on how to gatling combo.

The easiest way to do a gatling combo is to go into training and set the speed at 1/4. At this speed you can see everything in slow motion and give you better reaction time.

Go running up to the foe and hit A (not down c-stick) when you are directly in front of them. You have to be very close. After you have hit A hammer up on the c-stick and you should combo them. Do the combo untill you have it down pat.

Now take the speed to 1/2. Here you should do the same thing as you did at 1/4. Repeat the combo as done in 1/4 untill you get it here.

Now take the speed to 2/3. Now you can do the down c-stick into an up c-stick. You should practice here for a while. I would also like to mention another attack you should practice here, Smash Dashing. Go running and charge an up smash.... don't just hit the c-stick... charge it. When done correctly you should go from running to sliding on the ground and charging an up smash.

Now take it to full speed and repeat everything in 2/3.

If you wish to get it down very well to where you can do it with your eye's closed then take the speed to 1.5.

Laser training. Those of you who wish to master spacing and such should start with 1/4 speed and work up just like in the above. At the slow speed you can plan your timing on when Falco will shoot his lasers and when he'll phantism. This is harder to do since the changing speeds mess up your timing so much but this will help you.


*NOTE* Changing the speeds will only help you on a select few combos. If you try it with grab combos you will fail. Most combos should be done at normal speed only.

thank you

... Well, i find that changing speed is the most disapointing thing for training ôO Personnally, i mastered DLX, Boost Smash, Laser Spacing in normal speed, it lakes less time ^^

I practice my lasers zoomed in at a slower speed, then i try to do it in normal speed. Everything else except maybe a shortened phantasm can be practiced full speed.

 

[§witch]

lol, gatling timing isn't that hard. Wavebounced lasers are the only thing I can see you needing to slow it down for.

 

[saviorslegacy]

I know you don't have to practice it in slow speeds. There just seems to be a lot of people saying "I can't seem to get the DLX combo right." So I remembered how a friend told me to practice the Snake Dash. So I tried it woth the Gattling Combo and I got it down pat in about 10 minutes. I figured it would help those who are new to it.

I actually find slowing it down counterproductive. The best way to get the timing for the Gatling combo is to learn to Snake-dash, honestly. Snake's window for his boost smash is HUGE, and you can easily learn to do it. Once you have that, do the EXACT same input for falco but connect with the dash attack.

I second this

 

[Legend Vermillion]

Well, the tech isn´t hard at all but it´s a good method to practice. And you can use it with other techs, specially with hards techs ^^

 

[Chevalier]

Gatling is pretty easy. For those who need to learn it, yes, do it with snake.

 

[Mith_]

Lol, that's how I actually learned it.
I asked somebody at a tourney how to Mortarslide. Then he told me I could do it with most characters.

 

[ZeroFox]

I wouldn't change the speed. If you know the button combinations, work with that at normal speed so you get the timing down quicker.

Not saying that changing the speed won't work...but I just feel like you're fine going at it at regular speeds anyway. It doesn't take too long to learn.

 

[CELTiiC]

How would you guys suggest practicing Short Phantasm with Falco, regular speed, or a slower speed?

 

[syco1337]

i practiced in regular and it took the most of a day...so...maybe slower would help but once you can consistently do it in slow switch back.

Start off in 1/4, so you can see the timing window. You should be able to see the amount of time you have to press B again.

All right, thanks. Much appreciated.

This is the Answer.
Slowing it down doesn't help
ChuckNorris Snake can do anything.

This works but I feel it's much more work than needed

After I do a few boost smashes my index starts to tingle a bit from hitting the Z button

Easy way to do Gatling combo (Assuming default controls)

Run At Enemy, C-Stick Down and when it hits them, C-Stick Up

I find boost smashing only useful when mortar sliding without hitting

Same.

Except after returning to smash (not really) after 3months, I can't do boost smash as well (in both distance control and actually getting it to work) any more.


Chance the speed does help I'll admit, but only if you can't get it in normal speed the first time.

 

[saviorslegacy]

lol... the first person I used the dash thing whatever with was Snake. His is called Snake Dash as you know (I just said that so you would know what I was talking about).

You're hitting the button too hard, then. Having to c-stick down then up would wear your thumb out faster than the down-C/up-Z method. Plus, getting that down cold allows you to do multiple techs with a single button combo.

The down C-Stick, up C-stick works with any DLX as long as the first connects so

Edit: For some reason, I've been hitting A along with up and Z

I don't know why but I was.

This is much easier now lmfao XD

 

[8AngeL8]

The down-C /up-z method works for boost smashes also, though, so more techs with one input.

That's the way I do it. I find it much easier this way. I can't even (consistently) do the C down -> C up with Snake.

 

[XxBlackxX]

^ yea. i find that one harder to do.

 

[DarkLydale]

Pretty easy...a lil

 

[I Dair You]

lol, this deserved its own thread? dash towards someone, press C stick down, when hit connects, press C stick up. really not hard..

08 threads are gold.

We shouldn't be continuing to encourage an old thread to be continual bumped if nothing is being added.
