Effective/reliable strings

[Z1GMA]

Post your best strings here!
-and when they usually work.. (thinking of %)

 

[GodAtHand]

At lower percents I enjoy:
Dtilt, UpSmash, UpAir.

At mid percents:
Jab, Dash Grab. Usually works.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

*cries for Zelda's lack of combo-ness*

Umm,

Upsmash->Upsmash (0-10%ish, heavies)
Dtilt->Dtilt (0-80%ish)
Dtilt->DSmash (0-90%ish)
Dtilt->Upsmsah(0-130%ish)

^those are definitely the most reliable I do, but sometimes:

Dair->Dsmash(0-140%ish) (sends at a weird trajectory too if you do it right at the higher percentages)
Dair->Dtilt->Dsmash(0-90%ish)
Dair->Dtilt->Upsmash(0-130%ish)


...gotta go to class,

Oh, Farore's Wind->Lightning Kick (edge stealing, or whatever, funnest thing in the game)

 

[Z1GMA]

My favs:

Low%
* DA > DA > DA (weak hits)
* DA (strong hit) > Usmash
* Usmash > Usmash
* Dthrow > Ftilt > Usmash (Awesome, try it!)

Mid%
Everyone really should try getting the lock here (around 45%)
*Dtilt > Dtilt, repeat.

High%
*Dtilt > Utilt
*Dtilt > Ftilt (Up angled)
*Dtilt > Fsmash
*Dtilt > Dsmash
*Dtilt > Reverse bair

 

[SinkingHigher]

For meee...

20% - U-smash > U-smash > U-air
0-25% - Din Glide > Usmash > Usmash > SH-bair sweetspot.
40%+ - d-tilts > D-smash or u-tilt (Both can KO)
30%+ SHFFN-air > NL > Spike

I believe at low percents U-smash > U-smash is a guaranteed lock.

 

[Z1GMA]

Dtilt->Dtilt (0-80%ish)

If you're reffering to the "lock" I think it's more like 45-90%.. =)

20% - U-smash > U-smash > U-air

Can you please explain the difference in doing this at 20% and 0%?

 

[Z1GMA]

Dubble post =_=

haha, nah, I was just referring to Dtilt->Dtilt, sometimes you get lucky with the trip/not-trip randomness.

 

[-Mars-]

dash attack to a spike off the stage..........done this a couple times.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

dash attack to a spike off the stage..........done this a couple times.

that sounds pretty epic.

I believe at low percents U-smash > U-smash is a guaranteed lock.

I think it only is versus the heavies, but I can't be certain. I can test this between school and work today.

 

[Mocha19]

Usmash, Usmash, Nair, Fsmash works wonders at lower percentages. Also Dtilt to whatever fits the situation.

I use Dair, Dsmash if I land in front of them with the Dair. If I go behind I use Nayru's Love.

And I like Nair to either Uair , Fair, or Bair depending on percentage and position.

 

[Mocha19]

Usmash to Usmash at lower percentages definitely works on heavier characters, but not so much lighter characters if they either know when to air dodge or use another move before you can use it again. MK takes advantage of this. It's still hard for them to do, but it isn't completely a lock.

 

[powuh_of_PIE]

Usmash --> Usmash works on heavies and fast-fallers (Fox, Sheik, etc.), I usually like to follow up the last Usmash with a Nair to Din's glide, then react as appropriate.

With some heavy characters they don't fly high enough for you to catch them with the u-air.

 

[Deleted member]

low % - dthrow > nair > nair
med % - ftilt > nair > usmash
high % - dtilt > fair

 

[BLI7ZARD]

my personal favorite unreliable combo is nonsweetspot dair>Bair i actually koed someone last stock against dedede it felt awesome.
Also try shffNAIR>DTilt they pop up a little then at high enoguh percentages it could lead into a Fair

 

[Traumatisch]

My favourite combo/string is this

epic win on the CPU but I doubt very much this'll work on a human opponent. Still looks good though

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

1) decayed at low damages against certain charcters (bulky or fast fallers)

Usmash -> usmash -> Usmash... may require hyphen smashing

2) ~100% damage (varies by character)

Dtilt -> usmash
Dtilt -> Dsmash
Dtilt -> Fsmash

3) Low damages
Dash attack -> nair -> Din's

4) not really damage dependent (grounded foe)
Dair -> fair/bair

5) not really damage dependent
Sourspot fair -> Bair
Sourspot bair -> bair
Sourspot fair -> fair
Sourspot bair -> fair

 

[SinkingHigher]

spike to lightning kick can also work beside a ledge. forgot about that

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

Nayru's to dair can work at the edge!

and Jab -> Fsamsh can work at low damages against heavies., or when someone gets caught late in the attack.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

4) not really damage dependent (grounded foe)
Dair -> fair/bair

I don't think you can follow up a Dair with a Fair, out of a shorthop I mean of course.
: ) but yeah, I do like the Dair->Bair combo when they aren't expecting it.

And, I know this is just a technicallity, but it won't work at probably around 110% and on (which is actually when it is fun to do Dair->Dsmash, because it sends them up and then down and away as its trajectory if you do it right/fast enough. Its got a weird timing.)


Other than that, Great List. I'll have to incorporate a few of these into my game.

more:

at low damages:

weak hit of dash attack -> tech chase
- you have quite a bit of freedom here. My favourite combo of this is dash->dash-> dair spike... but it all depends on how your oponent reacts.

 

[Dayzin]

Down throw>U smash> Nair/Upair
this normally works for me starting 0, mainly on bigger character though.

 

[Z1GMA]

It's pretty nice to string your opponent from 0% to about 40% and then
right away start "the lock" ...
With a little luck you can get them from 0% to around 80% without even getting hit yourself

Usmash -> Usmash -> nair -> MINDGAME -> "the lock" -> Fsmash

*sigh* If it only were that easy

after the nair just follow up with a Din's it's something at least

 

[DTP]

I was just going to mention following up with dins. Thats what I always do. Using that combo at low percent will add about 40% damage to your opponent. Once the opponent realizes what just happened is when they get scared jk

EDIT: Just realized the post before mine was 4 days ago

 

[Z1GMA]

So.. does Dtilt -> Fsmash work at, say 0% ?

 

[HRNUT (Honey Roasted)]

D-tilt to upsmash to kill

 

[SinkingHigher]

I find this chase usually works. I'm not saying it will always work, but it's good.

Sourspot f-air > NL > Dash attack tipper > Spike.

Sometimes you can get something in before the f-air.
