It's to my understanding that some of the combos listed below are true zero to deaths. If these types of combos were to ever be practiced to the point where they could be performed on nearly every stock of a real tournament match then they would drastically mould the meta. I'm not an expert on how practical these combos are and how much DI really influences them but I would think some of the more dedicated lab monsters would begin to abuse them over time.
It appears to me that most of the cast is capable of performing highly damaging combos using these mechanics. I want tournament players to really start abusing these because this would make Sm4sh extremely hype and potentially speed up the game to near melee levels as far as how quickly stocks go. Keep in mind that some of the techniques and combos in melee are just as difficult if not more so to perform. What are you're thoughts on the matter guys? Do you agree or do you think this is just too challenging to abuse in a real match?
It would also be nice if you guys post links to other powerful Footstool into Jab Lock combos other than the ones I listed for others to see and be inspired.
