Extreme Hog

[Kitamerby]

STOP ****ING ADVOCATING IT.

It's a terrible idea with by far the most skewed risk/reward ratio that Lucario could possibly ever be presented with! I blame Milln for bringing up this horrible, horrible idea, but shame on some of you guys for even considering it a useful tool!

But you can look like a boss.

a safer alternative is roll into edgehog anyway.

 

[Dark 3nergy]

rolling is 2legit to quit

roll to approach
roll to move away
roll in and out to be gay!

 

[tedward2000]

Who actually uses extreme hog?
You could attempt to hog them with ES, or charge your AS.

Go with the Charging of Aura Sphere.

[phi1ny3]

Why not roll -> fast drop hog?

or dair edgeguard?

or chargin that AS since there seems to always be "not enough time" for you to do it more often when your opponent's onstage?

It's fun, but I thought we all knew in all seriousness that there were better options.

 

[culexus・wau]

Getting an extremehog is like landing a falcon punch.

Hard.

Risky.

but satisfying.

 

[phi1ny3]

So is DT, which I prefer to land anyways.

Something about the opponent dying in lame freefall screams "un-epic" unless I gimped them with some cool moves.

 

[culexus・wau]

DT has niche uses. [use vs lucario fsmash!]

Extremehog does not.

 

[phi1ny3]

I can see Extreme hog being pretty good in Brawl+, especially if you can DJ afterwards anyways.

 

[iLink]

^^ He doesn't snap to the ledge anymore in B+ so it isn't as effective.



I love doing it though D:

The way I usually get it to land is launch a charged aurasphere while they are recovering and while they are airdodging, I go ahead and do extremespeed.

 

[Browny]

too true kita...

 

[iRJi]

Mm. Tone it down a bit kita. It's by player preference, and you did not need to make a whole new thread for it.

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

Don't mind me, just thinking about some options.

Hmmm what about vs. a recovering Olimar where you have enough room to do it?

If you run at the ledge you might have a better chance of getting latched onto by a pikmin, right?

Extremehog might be somewhat useful in luc dittos though.

It may not be the best option often times, but it helps to have more options.

Oh and don't forget you have the odd chance of tripping if you run at the ledge, but with Extremehog you don't (although messing up and losing a life is much worse than tripping >.> ).

You do know how fast Olimar's tether snap is, right? And how far away he can snap from?

ExtremeHog is not an option. Ever. If you need to get there fast, you roll or take the chance of tripping. A ridiculously small chance of tripping more than outweighs the opportunity to lose an entire stock from a dumb SD that probably would not have even finished off your opponent in the first place.

 

[MythTrainerInfinity]

I know how fast the tether snap is, I'm just saying if he was some distance away and it would not snap until it was actually closer.

Even if something seems impractical its a good idea to discuss it to think of possible uses.

Its like when we try to FAir Marth. Its an option that's good for some mixups.

That is impossible. Play more Olimars.

You're insane if you think Fairing Marth is even close to the same risk level as ExtremeHog.

 

[phi1ny3]

Here's what you do:
-roll/run/jump until you're near the ledge
-dash off w/o doing a lean over animation
-quickly input a quarter-circle movement with the analog stick starting down and move the stick towards the stage in that quarter-circle fashion

voila, instant speedy edgehog.

Sheesh Kita calm down. i merely suggested Extreme hog because im a scrub.

and as a poorly said joke >_>
