Homing Attack restoring 2nd jump

[infomon]

I love how when you slam into the ground/platform with Homing Attack, and you come up with a little bounce, you have your 2nd jump restored. This really helps me out every now and then, so I thought I'd bring it up.

A question about this, though.. unfortunately, you only seem to get the 2nd jump back when HA bounces into a floor, not a wall or ceiling. The positioning of "floor" is a bit strange sometimes though, like if you're hanging onto the edge of FD, drop down, HA, and hit at different places on the lip... I get my 2nd jump back sometimes when I wouldn't expect it.

I dunno, might help with some edgecamping strats.

On that note, ledgedrop > jump > ASC cancel onto stage, is awesome. The ASC is dangerous, but it's fun to hit people with that since it's different than my usual, predictable Fair from that position.

Good thread Infzy Homing attack saved my a bunch of times but it has kinda a lag to it takes a few seconds to exicute.

The next thing we need to work on is your grammar and spelling SonicX.
Because at the moment this is you:

Your post fixed:

Good thread Infzy, Homing attack has saved my life a bunch of times, but it kinda has some lag to it. It takes a few seconds to execute (or exeggcute).

Just keep that in mind.

minor fix.

lol Greenstreet. You were close though.

Was simply putting it in a fashion more acceptable, wasn't aiming for perfection. This post in itself has errors but they are readable and don't disrupt communication.
But thanks anyway. I will steal that.

Always good to be reminded :')

Thanks, good information too know. Possibilities on other stages?

I think I remember a topic being made about that a few montths ago...

my post edit begs to differ

well, i didn't know that the bump of the HA restores a 2nd jump. Thanx.

Any time that you touch the ground restores jumps. I usually use homing attack out of a double jump if I know my opponent will dodge, so I can 'regain' my jumps and continue on.

Kinda like the bubble shield bounce, but less cool.

Bubble shield bounce was so cool... ****ing Sakurai left out all of the neat stuff

Err, if you touch the ground in an SDR it doesn't restore your jumps but you knew that, I'm just being pedantic. And yeah, the HA bounce regaining jumps through a dodge = continual pressuring ftw!

siiiiigh, why did you have to remind me!?? (Tenki more to blame I guess) Ever since Melee, I was hoping for Sonic in smash, I always knew it would be awesome, he'd have his fireshield as side-B, electric shield up-B, bubble shield bounce could be his neutral-B since down-B would have to be SDC of course..... then BAWWWWWW sakurai ruined it...... I don't care if that moveset would have made Sonic worse, at least there would be diversity, and like, colour... not just blue sonic on blue fd... makes infzy blue

...... sorry *wipes away tear* didn't mean for this thread to degenerate to one of those n00b "bawww sonic's moveset is uninspired" threads we used to have so many of. I'll try to control myself.
