I tried it with a bunch of other characters, Falco seems to be the only one it will work with. Fox can do it too, but he can't go higher than he falls, so it's limited how many times it will work for him.

Haha, you can't die off the top either so you can get ridiculously high up. Like, I got it to take a full 60 seconds to fall back to the stage.

I can't wait to show this to my friends by asking for a match with items, getting a shell and just going "later" and staying off the top of the screen for the whole match.

It probably has to do with the fact that Falco has the highest normal jump in the game. Fox has a really short jump, so he can't jump higher than he falls with the green shell.

Anyways:

Falco + Green Shell = Broken. Fact.

That was ****in sweet.

Does it have to be the green shell? It seems like it has to be Falco, but what about other items?

I'm pretty sure it has to be a green shell, because you're landing on the shell and it bounces you up.

Okay, I've been testing this out, and Falco's not the only one who can do it. Fox can if he DOESN'T fast fall, and uses a dair to throw the shell down, then a uair or fair 2nd. If the second one is a bair or dair, you lose too much altitude.

The easiest way to do it is jump -> down C -> Forward C.


Also, this will work with ANY of Falco's aerials, including the nair. He can stay aerial as long as he want to, with any of them, though Dair is easiest because you've already done one to throw the shell down.

THESE ONLY WORK WITH GREEN SHELLS, NOT WITH OTHER ITEMS!!! It only works because you're landing on the shell just as you catch it, and it bounces you up.

I'll edit later if I find anything else out.



Edit:

Characters it will work for: (Moves listed indicates what to use after the first dair)

:bowser2: Fair or Uair

:wario: Dair

:shiek: Anything except Dair

:ganondorf: Bair could work as a stall, but it slowly loses altitude

:pit: Any aerial

:rob: Anything except Bair

:dedede: They'll all work, but only Bair will keep you airborne forever. Even that one doesn't gain height.

:fox: Anything but bair or dair, don't fast fall.

:falco: Any aerial

:wolf: Anything but bair or nair, if he doesn't fast fall.

:falcon: Any aerial. Not sure why, but if you do Dair -> Uair while your momentum is backwards through the air, you won't go up on that jump, just fast fall. You can still do more shell jumps if you get out of the lag before dying, though.

:pikachu2: Nair and Uair work, but very slowly

:charizard: Fair and Bair work, but very slowly

:marth: Any aerial, but Dair will only stall, not climb

:ike: Bair will only stall, not climb

:sonic: Anything except Dair



Okay, so that's everybody that can do it. Of them all, Falco, Fox's and Pit's are by far the best and most maneuverable, but a lot of them get a surprising amount of use out of it.

Obviously, this has no tournament application, but I think it's cool nonetheless.

Wow, a bunch of characters can do this...

Sure its only done with the green shell though? Are there other items this could work for?

I'm positive it's only the green shell. It has to have that bounce you get when you land on top of one.

@Mister_E: It doesn't really have any serious application. It's just a really cool technique that looks impressive and could be used to screw around in casual matches with items on. There haven't really been any flashy, cool discoveries lately in Brawl, so why not get excited?

^I'm not entirely sure if you're thanking me or dissing me, so either you're welcome or screw you, I'm not sure which.

Yes! Falco's stock in the world of smash seems to have been rising lately. People have been starting to realize his potential and good players are starting to pick him up. Maybe he might even move up a spot on the tier list when the next one is out...
