I've been having a problem with smash hobbling. I know how to do it but sometimes when nana hits the character with the Fsmash they fly out of popo's grab (or so it seems). Is this because I'm not grabbing early enough or nana has charged the smash for too long?

Also hylian what are doing to be able to kill snake at 110% I can't seem to kill him untill past 150% :/. are you charging Fsmash near a ledge while nana is doing Fthrow?

Thanks in advance :D

As a snake main, I've never been killed by ics before 150%. Never ever.

At karma: you must be grabbing to late/early. Popo should catch the opponent after the hit.

150 is much too high

If you're doing it right, you will kill snake with an Fthrow > Dthrow > Forward Smash 3/5ths charge at no later than 130.

Fair enough, my point was that you mash out before I input throw for the first time, not when I'm charging to kill you lol.

Also, I can upload a video of me killing snake at under 110%. I really don't know why you guys think he doesn't die. I've killed ally in tournament under 110%. I've killed razer under 110%. Etc etc.

Nah, full length dthrow -> bthrow will get you pretty much a full charge and sweetspot which will kill before 110%. Seriously, go test it if you don't believe me lol I will really upload a video but i'm lazy and would rather you guys just try it yourselfs. Dthrow full length at 100%, start charge, bthrow, usmash.

just tried it on a lvl 9 and I'm convinced. I'm not sure if my spacing on it is correct though. Do I want nana to grab snake further away from popo or close to popo?

You want nana to grab as far away from popo as you can, dont dash or anything though lol just walk. You can test it with DI using your foot and another controller, or just switching hands really quick.

So that technique where you drop of the edge b reverse ib then jump back on the stage laglessly. Is it a glitch or does the lag from the ice block put you at the perfect spot where you can jump on laglessly. Just curious how it works.
Thanks!

Is there any way to make nana grab a Someone out of a hobble. I can do it accidentally but never on purpose. Is there a easy way to make nana grab them every time?
Thanks!

Oh if you want to learn fundamentals first, don't learn LD1/LD2 lol. There is no thread about it. It's a secret desync that is only passed down to those worthy.

Look at this topic. Work on #3, 6, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 27. I would say those are the most important (yet do-able) ones.

Light characters are easy to kill at 100% because you only need a very slight charge so you can just fthrow before charing.

Desync, then have Nana charge a smash while Popo is in the middle of an action. Then Popo can walk while she's charging.

god damn it it is soooo much harder to regrab with popo than it is with nana. seriously this is gonna take all day to get down popo's grabs. regrabbing with nana is pretty easy though

Until people beside me use them, there's really no point in fixing it ;)

I do them all the time. It's so much easier for me than SND now. Maybe it's because of the slight lag on this t.v that screws up my buffering...

If people besides me and one or two of my cult following used it, I'd be more inclined to fix it :D
