Footstooled PSI Magnet

[Man_With_Thooo]

I'm sorry if there's already been a thread like this before, but I used the search function and I wasn't able to find anything similar.

Anyway, I was just training my Lucas a few minutes ago when I found out that if you do a footstool jump on your opponent then cancel the jump right after with a wavebounced PSI Magnet, your opponent will get stunned by the footstool and eventually get hit by the PSI Magnet without being able to escape. This is a pretty useful technique when your opponent's near the ledge since the magnet has quite a lot of knockback.

This method seems much less predictable than simply using your PSI magnet without the footstool. It's helped quite a lot in some of my previous matches.

EDIT: I was talking about footstooling while your opponent's on the ground, not the air.

I love footstool jumps. I'll try this and see how it works. Just remember that an opponent can DI left or right while being footstooled, so they'll be able to jump underneath you while your magnet's out.

I was actually talking about footstooling you opponent on the ground, but the air might work too if you know what you're doing.

lol, I thought this would be for a ledgedrop, and get them either right under the stage, or stagespike them. It's a really cool idea.

How do you footstool the enemy? You have your feet touch their head? Or do you need to jump once your feet are around their head?

Can someone explain how it works? Thanks!

Turn on Brawl, go to training, set the CPU AI to jump, then practice jumping on them. Then try it again against a lvl 9 cpu set to attack.

Gotcha, will try

It's actually a little hard to set someone up for a footstool IMO.

Yeah it is. Can you footstool jump someone who is in the middle of an air dodge? If so, it might be somewhat useful. Otherwise you might as well just use aerial attacks.
