How do you Up-B from the ground to the edge?

[freddybones]

I've been playing around with Pikachu lately. Mostly because I saw another Pikachu player the other day and he smoked me. =P
I want to figure out how he did some of his moves. One of the things he did a lot was Quick Attack horizontally from the ground and then he'd grab the edge.

It looked like the second part of the Quick Attack was diagnoly back to the edge. But every time I try it I go down past the edge. Pikachu never grabs it. What do I have to do to get him to grab the edge?

you use quick attack any direction offstage, then another direction toward the edge. i think thats how it is, i dont use pikachu as a main or secondary but he is a fun char to use.

i believe you have to sweet spot it.

You can do it one of two ways

1. On the second part of the quick attack you can release the control stick b4 pika passes the ledge

2. There's a slight angle u can hit between diagonal and forward. Kinda like a diagonal-diagonal forward if that makes any sense at all to you... if u hit this angle you don't have to release the control stick to grab the ledge.

If you have quick fingers use method 1.

If you have steady, but not so quick fingers use method 2.

While both are useful, I like method two most because it increases the range that you can quick attack from the stage. Problem is hitting the angle consistently is hard.

hmm..as far as learning to do it, try doing a slight jump and then do what scissors said. it feels easier for me, not sure though.

suppose you want to quik attack to the left ledge. 1st quick attack left then down right, but more right then down. not south east, but south east east. hope that makes sense

What I do is stand a certain distance away from the ledge, just enough to do it, practice just quick attacking off the edge and if you suicide then you did it right. Now just start with the control stick up to use quick attack, then move it in an incomplete circle to the bottom right to quick attack to the left side's ledge, and to the bottom left to quick attack to the right side's ledge. Hope that wasn't too confusing, after a while you'll get the hang of it.

Also make sure to let go of the control stick after you do the circle, otherwise you might accidentally fast fall and SD.
