How does the popgun work?

[Vyse]

I'm not asking about the peanut items, I'm asking about how the popgun attack works.

Can you run and gun at the same time? Or can I use it like Falco in SSBM and 'Short Hop Pop Gun' everywhere.

I understand from what I've read that it is chargeable, but I haven't been able to watch any videos due to lack of teh bandwidth (Like, really bad).

Can someone clear this up for me? The popgun seems like his most interesting asset, and being abkle to SHL with Falco is what made me main him in the first place.

From what I understand, it is chargeable, like you said, and it's a lot like Fox's/Falco's lasers. However, landing doesn't cancel the "put-away" lag, so short-hopping will do nothing for firing faster, just for shooting a bit higher. Also, I think you get damaged if you hold the charge too long and don't fire. This isn't official, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it works.

Yea, i am pretty sure you get hurt for an overcharge.And then there's (a) peanut(s) that comes out for restoration. Your gun should come back after a while, I hope. Fox's Blaster should overheat or be limited to one damage a hit.

With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong.

^^ huh DK Donkey Kong

but really we already have like 3 threads about this

He just seems like an odd character to have a chargeable projectile on.

So it's pretty much like using Samus's neutral b in melee?

I guess you could say that except for three things:

1) The shot peanut shell isn't bigger the longer it's charged.

2) If you charge it up too long, the popgun explodes (I'm pretty sure it'll be usable again a little bit after the explosion).

3) You can't keep a charged peanut in storage (like with Samus's Charge Shot, Sheik's needles, etc).

I didn't watch any of the demo videos, so some of this stuff might happen, and some might not.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to work like a pistol would.

 

[EpicE]

I think it wil be similar to Falcos lasers just slower.

 

[Kentalish]

for them i heard u have 2 seconds before it explodes like theres a warning

 

[gamer8]

Pretty much you just charge it up a little, then fire.

only slight correction is you can use it again immediately after it explodes. Other than that, spot on...

 

[Rikka]

So, does the explosion do damage? I haven't seen anyone clarify that.

 

[ValiantVernon]

yea i believe the explosion is simliar to roys charge from melee by waiting to long u cause ur self damage

thats pretty slow

 

[Rajun Cajun]

It also fires more level when you charge it. Without charge I believe is has a slight upward angle and downward arc.

Right?

 

[Ghost07]

How far the the peanuts go? Is it short or long range.

 

[Layupfreak]

Charageable shot. if blows up=eat peanut.

Plus, I believe you can charge with diddy in the air, unlike samus.
