How the hell do you alt grab Ness?

[The Hypnotist]

Here's a quick video of me yesterday playing my friend's Pit... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jysg-VQ0Cw

My grabs were dead on... But I can't even get more than 3 consecutive grabs on Ness, even in training mode... What's the key to his timing? Thanks!

You have no chance at alt. fthrows if thats what you're doing. Just use D-throw to Fair to IB and/or one of the footstool CG's.

 

[HolyChef]

just take a look at my sig.

no chance at alts?

u can do whatever on whoever.

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

Alternating Bthrow works like a charm.

 

[The Hypnotist]

I had some problems with the back throws,but I'll try them again, but down throw fair to IB sounds easy, if it works, good looking out guys, anything else, any tips or feedback for my Forward throws in the video.

Ness, Lucas, Wario, Metaknight, and ROB are some of the hardest characters to FThrow chain.

Just DThrow, or BThrow them.

Right timing. This is especially for Lucas, he has that different timing for the f-throw you know. But the useful on alt grabbing him and especially Lucas is to do a b-throw chain. You can do an f-throw on Ness if you really know the timing already.

For me I hate altgrabbing Snake since I'm uncomfortable from his heaviness. >w<

Is there a trick to the back throw, like aside from just repating it, or do you have to do some crazypivot dash or something?

Down throw to forward throw is what i do on ness, metaknight and those tiny guys--or the quick double back throw.. When you forward throw, you just have to make sure you aren't that much farther in front of Nana. I hope that makes sense.

 

[choknater]

how do you NOT alt grab ness? lol

Wario really isn't really that hard... the fthrow is actually my main CG that I use on him. And don't forget snake.

Yep

 

[HolyChef]

the fatter they are the easier they are to chaingrab. and nintendudes said it millions of times, fthrow is the same timing for everyone.

 

[The Hypnotist]

Explain the back throws in detail. The pivot stuff.

 

[HolyChef]

pivot alt grabs arent necessary. but they help do help if u decide thats wat u want to use, u have to make sure ur climber gets a good start to get ahead of the opponent.

dthrow (or fthrow?)

then smash control stick in the direction ur facing

then the opponent gets thrown smash the control stick the other way and grab, which is towards ur opponent

probably the worst instructions ever but i dont even care


wat matters are the backthrows which i use in my favorite variation of the infinite. anyway for lighter characters u have to be quicker and close the gap between the time u bthrow and the time u grab. for fat characters like dedede or bowser, u dont have to be nearly as fast.

for example, when bthrowing G&W or Jigs, u should try having the time ur control stick goes as far as it can on ur controller and the time u press Z really close together. almost at the same time. so its basically direction+grab. with fat characters however u want to increase the gap between these inputs. its more like hitting the control stick and almost a second later hitting the grab button.


yo relax if my timings are mad off im not playing at the moment.i can actually do them hylian style which is on command lol.

I find Ness easy to alt grab >_>.

So I guess I'm no help lol.

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

Why not just do the b-throw -> b-throw? I find that quite easy for me to altgrab Ness and especially for Lucas.

Like.... b-throw Ness to Nana (partner), then b-throw from Nana and make Popo go to the opposite direction and catching Ness.
