How To Use Dancing Blade Followed With C-Stick

[Sariku]

I've been wondering, I've seen people like Ken using a Dancing Blade/C Stick combo, to where he would use the Dancing Blade and on the 3rd strike he spiked them with the down move, but then he used his forward smash only a second afterwards. I can't seem to get this or any other techniques followed along those lines, so if you have any tips to help me or something, please, tell me.

Dolphin slash is Marth's UpB so I don't think you mean that. I think Marth's appropriate term for what you are implying is the dancing blade combo. At any rate, it's just practice of knowing when you can do the Fsmash after the dancing blade ends. Everyone know's that Ken has amazing frame timing. He has more than anyone else to get those clanks in tournaments, UpBs after aerials (and connect with them) than anyone else. He just "knows". Only way you can develop this is practice until you learn.

Good point on the mispronunciation, I fixed it.

And true, might as well call Ken frame. But is there a way to practice it, I suppose easier, espicially cause I dont get to play humans much... like to practice wavedash you hold a screwball and wavedash, if you wavedashed past them and they took damage, it's perfect. Anything similiar to that been discovered yet?

Oh dangit, I thought you knew! I also noticed that and had planned to ask myself later on

Wait do you mean, ken uses dancing blade as his spike? or he uses his dair?

im so confused x_x

Ken using his Dancing Blade, and does the third movement down. The blue spike. Right after than he pulls of a FSmash, and I really wanna know how.

He waits for the lag to end. Duh...
Seriously though, he pulls it off because he's good at recognizing stun times and lag times. You could tell when the lag from the dancing blade is over pretty easily. The hard part is noticing if your opponent is still stuck in stun and in the right position when you are able to attack. It just takes a little practice to get use to the actual timing for the dancing blade's lag, but knowing if the F-smash can hit afterwards is a little more tricky.

There have been cases where an attack comes out with no lag after the third down hit of the dancing blade, as if it were the fourth hit. Something similar happened to Nihonjin with the third down b to counter. I think somebody should assess the frames of the meteor.
