How do you do the platform drop?

[Shai Hulud]

I realize this topic has doubtless been mentioned before, but after a few searches I was unable to find it--it's probably buried very deep.

Anyway, I've seen some Captain Falcons fast-falling through platforms, particularly Isai. It seems to speed up their game a lot on certain stages. I learned how to do this once but I've forgotten it, so if someone could go through the technique I'd be grateful.

Um, just press down?

 

[alcheato]

If you mean falling through a platform after a jump, just hold down.

 

[tsetse]

Nope he means Lcancel after the fall through the platform. If you do an aireal as you fall through a Platform it reduces its lag quite a bit. Just make sure to Lcancel it. Isai actually discovered it.

the thing called the isai drop is nothing you guys mentioned.

when you land on a platform you have to go through this standing animation before you can do anything (that is, unless you land on the platform with an aerial and lcancel it, then its the normal lcancel lag)

to isai drop, you've gota roll the control stick forward, then down. sorta a quarter circle type of thing. I think the reason this works is because you're allowed to dash immediately after landing on a platform without any of the standing animation so the game registers a dash, but then you drop thru the platform.

wak made a video of the isai drop with donkey kong somewhere.

...unless you mean just falling straight through the platform. just hold down as your going thru it.

couldnt have said it better.

I always airdodged into the ground after a platfrom drop, it also speeds things up. I have to try this though.

yes, thats the 3rd way to eliminate the "standing" animation

Wait i still don't understand what he's doing maybe my eyes are slow...

It's just a matter of jamming the control stick in a quarter circle down. i.e. let's say you're facing towards the right. Immediately after you hit the platform, jam the control stick to the right, and do a quarter circle down, so at the end of it, the control stick should be straight downwards.

It's like a reverse Hadoken. Instead of doing 236, you're doing 632.

It's exactly like Audreyh said. You're canceling the lag after landing on a platform by dashing, then you can immediately drop through. Although, I usually just waveland off platforms to avoid this kind of problem.

And Shai Hulud, props to your name. I didn't think that there were any Dune fans around here.

So it's whenever I land?
I thought you could do it when you're just standing on the platform. I don't remember if I was supposed to walk or dash though.

Shai thanks for asking now I found this >.<
