Evading with F-smash???????

[donferd_donster]

when i was brawling today i notice that when a luigi was getting ready to f-smash (chop) i f-smashed in reaction and he missed and i hit w/sweetspot. it seems that when mario reaches back to gather energy or w/e he moves back slightly and then unleashes his attack, in thus he evaded a deadly blow! i wonder if we can use this? or no? help please!!!

Unless you have godly timing, this wouldn't work.

And I also think that Mario's Fsmash has more range than Luigi's so that may be it.

Sounds like you did a Stutter-stepped F-Smash.

In that case it would work provided you spaced correctly.

Stutter stepping is just obtaining extra range to your Fsmash by using it in the opposite direction you're facing. Anyway, it sounds like you're just describing the small step backwards Mario takes before thrusting into his move; dodging an atk using this, like with Bowser's Fsmash, is called shift via atk.

Sure. It's pretty simple.

A Stutter-stepped F-Smash is just when you do a small dash and then use an F-Smash. However, you don't do the full dash animation.

In Mario's case, when he has his back turned to the opponent, when you F-Smash the opposite way he's facing, he gets a large range boost. So pretty much, Mario can just "walk away" from an incoming attack and do a Stutter-stepped F-Smash as a counter attack.

Take note, mario has one of the best stutter-stepped f-smashes in the game.. if you incorporate that into your metagame you can seriously pull off solid mindgames for easy KOs.

Judge Judy is right. What you're describing is how Mario leans back a little before he launches his F-Smash, like Bowser does. It could help in the right situation.

I agree with Skyler. Godly timing and spacing eye wise on your opponet.

This happened with me vs a Marth once. Looked as if i'd be hit by a tipped Fsmash. But my stutter stepped Fsmash, i retracted back, he missed, then I clocked him.

 

[donferd_donster]

thank u everyone i'll take all you all have said into condiseration!

Yeah, mario leans back very slightly before smashng. I've avoided attacks this way, but not intentionally.
