Galeruption

[XDaDePsak]

Galeruption as I've coined it (previously Tornadoruption), is my favorite Ike move in the game.

It's a character-specific attack that makes an art form of punishing Gale Boomerang-spamming Links.

Many Link players love to toss out a Gale Boomerang as soon as you get knocked up into the sky. At the highest point of the knockback, take an extra jump, above the screen if possible, and then start charging your Eruption immediately. You should land either directly in front of or on top of the tornado, which will drag you directly into your enemy. The timing on the release shouldn't be too hard, as long as you don't get too excited for the glorious moment about to happen. Repeat as necessary until they stop spamming boomerangs.

You can also do it low to the ground but always try to jump before charging so you're not an easy target for an arrow to the face.

Beautiful. Gonna try that on a local Link main.

I used to do that on brawl a lot

0:15 was pretty brutal. Just look at that.

I play a Link all the time. Fun tip

If they throw it while off stage jump into it and fair them as the wind takes you to Link. You zip across the air and it leads you directly to them

 

[Arrei]

It won't work on smart Links, as all they have to do is fire an arrow or throw a bomb at you while you charge, but that boomerang really is the source of all kinds of hilarity. Pac-Man's hydrant water, too. I've partaken in doing flying dropkicks and water bowling with Bowser and Villager's Fsmashes.

I did Shield Breaker as Marth while riding the wind, so funny when they just sit there and shield when you come in, free broken shields for days.

 

[XDaDePsak]

Galeruption?

Edit: edited most instances of 'tornadoruption' to the superior 'galeruption'

 

[Xelion]

Galeruption?

I like that name more.

 

[XDaDePsak]

It won't work on smart Links, as all they have to do is ... throw a bomb at you while you charge.

A smart Link would know that's not necessarily enough.

5% no-flinch damage received vs 24+% damage + knockback given? I'll make that trade any day.

What the heck happened there? Eruption's not supposed to be armored like that.

It's not eruption though. It's GALERUPTION.

 

[Romans]

But shield.

 

[XDaDePsak]

But shieldbreaker

 

[FieryRebirth]

..What the hell? Is there gale boomerang effects that I'm unaware of? Does it actually provide super armor to the opponent or did Eruption get a super armor buff?

 

[XDaDePsak]

@ FieryRebirth

That's a good question. I've done galeruption more times than possibly anyone (I fish for them like a maniac) but I still can't answer your question satisfactorily. It seems to work with bombs, but not arrows. If someone wants to experiment with me add me NNID and we can figure out what is happening.

I think what might be happening is that the tornado doesn't grant superarmor, but instead may reduce your flinch/KB values. Not exactly superarmor. More like reduced flinch? Lets test it.

Truly glorious. Also, I swear that up taunt references Cloud's stance in FFVII.

 

[XDaDePsak]

 

[Appdude]

This is literally the most glorious move in the entire game

 

[Arrei]

I dunno, you have to give points to Bowser doing his Fsmash in the boomerang, too. Goddamn flying dropkicks, man.

 

[XDaDePsak]

Meh. That move has a ton of horizontal reach to begin with. Not quite the same.

 

[Arrei]

It's not about the reach, it's about the STYLE!
