*easy way to hit with rest*

[tigresmasher2]

I was expirementing with the rest attack and I noticed that if you SH dair your oppenent while moving forward (sometimes works while stationary as well) and then do the rest you will pretty much automatically hit them. dair even causes your oppenent to trip at times making it even easier to use the rest. I could not get it to work every time though so could someone please test to find the perfect point to use the dair. I will try to test more myself. I did not perform and discover this in training mode.

No offense, but this is likely the earliest discovered and most widespread AT for Jigglypuff. It is required in her gameplay.

at least you were trying to be productive.

^ exactly.

Keep at it. Try to find more AT's for puff. And just so you know, here are other known rest tactics

Shielded (most dash attacks and some smash attacks) > Rest
uair > rest
bair > rest
ledgehop sing > rest (my least favorite because d-smashing is better in that situation at rest percentages)
tech chase or rolls > rest

I may have missed some..... >_____<

Uh, if you mean that her best KO move does nothing, then your missing something. Yes it was nerfed, but the set-up to rest on all characters but Fox and Falco from melee to brawl has been improved.

lol, I found out about dair to rest way back in February and I'm sure other people did too.

Rest definately is jiggy's best killer but set up has been way nerfed. In melee you had uair, utilt, out of shield, up/down throw on certain toons, pound, crouch cancel, tech chase, sh nair, full hop ac nair. Now you only have out of shield and dair as concrete set ups. Thankfully there is a large hit box, but seriously now, melee has way more set ups.

Also, the world ends with you is fricken sweet.

Even though rest's hitbox is bigger, I find it much harder to hit with. This time around, the physics engine makes it harder to be on top of another character and you are pushed away. This, as Bowyer said, means it is harder to set up than it was in melee. Now, if someone is falling downwards, and jiggs is directly underneith, just jumping up and resting does work.

On another note, I really haven't been able to get dAir > Rest to really work for me. I find it very awkquard to do and sometimes, rest doesn't come out if I hit the ground. What am I doing wrong here?

i find that there are two things that hinder dair>rest (at least for me):

1. doing a manual down+air (rather than cstick) doesn't work well UNLESS you release down on the control stick BEFORE initiating rest.
2. if you're too close to the ground with your dair, the whole plan is screwed in general.



basically, you have to get in as many dair hits as possible, and dair should finish BEFORE you hit the ground. if you're on the ground by the time you decide to downb, it's too late (unless your opponent is doing something stupid)

sh > dair immediately > ff right before you hit the ground (the key is learning to ff at the correct time) > rest

Alright, thanks for the advice. I will try those things out.

 

[JonBeBonanza]

All i want to say is that dair to rest has been around a while. Just because it wasn't in some "guide" doesn't mean it wasn't around. Anyways there are other setups to rest, just make sure it kills, and it [rest] being nerfed in an understatement, it's a completely different attack.
