Gannon's "Shine" (Less Useful)

This is an almost useful technique that has already been discussed. Apparently called the "Murder Quake"
All it is is using Gannons Down-B right after jumping, but before you have left the ground. It creates a small shockwave infront and behind gannon that comes out instantaniously. It knock foes a short distance from you and deals a small amount of damage. Unfortunetly after that you are open to attacks for a large period of time. If you miss your gonna get F-Smashed. And even if you hit, they might not be hit far enough away for you to be safe. It can be used right out of sheild and it is faster than dairing out of a sheild. Most people will probly be suprised enough that you could possibly get away damage-free.

Since this is old news apparently lets go ahead and turn this into a discusion of its potiential usefulness or how it is competly pointless.

I always follow up by either sheilding/rolling/spotdodging. It is also good for akward moments when people roll/tech and end up right on you and you cant really decide on a direction to attack.

Edit: Seems everyone is in complete opposition so it looks like I fail untill somone finds a practical use.

I discovered this today, at high damage "80%" makes enemies fly , Captain Falcon can kill at high porcents doing this, is a nice tech.

Its way too laggy for the benefit of using it. The risk/reward factor is way too far skewed towards risk for this technique to be useful. Furthermore, all people have to do is space and you look like a *******.

Old news, and really I don't think it can be useful much unless your playing against someone who has no ganon experience.

Maybe we can use it much like Jigg's rest, ONLY WHEN IT WILL LAND.

Most matches are made up of 3 stock, maybe if landed as a finisher thats 1/3 thats yours.
