Having trouble Boost Smashing

[-Kiros-]

I’m having trouble boost smashing. Can anyone help me get the timing down? I can mortar slide with Snake, if it helps any.

It should be exactly the same.

Yeah, there is no difference in Boost Smashing with Snake, Falco, Jiggs, etc. They should all be, as ixdnL put it, exactly the same.

The timing is just easier with snake.

That.


In fact, now I have a harder time doing it with Snake.

Anyway, the main problem people have with boost smashing or boost pivot grabbing with characters other than Snake, is just not pressing the buttons quickly enough...

Use this combo. It works alot better for me:

Run (hold left or right), with your thumb hit down on the C-stick, then at the same time but barely after, slide the control stick from the 3 O'clock to 12 O'clock position while with your right index finger hit Z.

Just practice it more then anything. The timing of it will come naturally after you get the hang of it.

... What did you think he was doing before?

I've changed my L to attack. I find that Z isn't the reliable and I end up doing a grab half the time. With L set to attack I pull of the it boost about 90% of the time. The only way I mess up is I smash up and I jump before I hit down on the Cstick, so I do a sh d-air instead of the boost smash.

I use c-stick down and z+up

It's basically a Mortar Slide that takes extreme precision. I can Mortar Slide almost every time, but Boost Smashing is like, insane hard.

The timing for me is keep the control stick in the direction your dashing till you hit the cstick. Once you do that move to do up on the control stick and hit the button you use to do the attack.

Learn to practice guys(and girls). It's just a timing.

He could be using the C-stick down/ up + Z. Or the control stick up+ A.

I find the C-stick down/ Control stick up+ Z works best.
