I mean really, misfire is cool and all, but it entirely screws my game x.x; And overall, green missle is crap. Whenever your attempting to sweetspot the edge with green missle, but a accidental misfire comes out and you miss the sweetspot land on stage, and get Ike's fsmash'd back to hell x__X. Green missle just super crap priority even with a misfire. Even a fireball can completely stop a misfire and screw you up.


Now discuss why I shouldn't hate misfires unless it rely's only on luck >.>;

Once I would've died, because I got edgeguarded and didn't have my DJ or Tornadorise anymore... I Misfire'd and could get back to the stage and won the match (with upB ^.^).

But yeah, I know it screws everything up. Even if you want to edgeguard with it.

If you're lucky it might get a kill in for you or rescue you though. :)

The worst is hitting a misfire and getting that "Luigi stuck in the wall" animation. I get punished every time for that -_-

I know, it is funny but horrible. When you try to sweetspot and end up making yourself vulnerable for 3 seconds.

It's all about the luck. When the misfire does happen, if the opponent is in the way they're going to get hurt. Sure, sometimes you'll come down right in Ike's Fsmash, but rarely are they able to prepare to punish it and it just comes down to chance.

I get misfire KOed by Luigi's in the same situation. Misfire, go over the sweetspot, and slam into me above the ledge and KO me at 60% from a recovery. -_-

I only use it to end a combo, and if I get real lucky the opponent will blow up from my misfire, resulting in a WTF >=O!! moment.

I won a tournament set yesterday with the help of 4-5 misfire KOs xD

I actually attack with side-B a good amount on the stage, lol. It's a lot more effective and less punishable than you'd think it'd be on most characters.

Sometimes when I try to upB, I occasionally accidentally do the green missile. I think this throws off the shield and unshield timings a lot, and sometimes the misfires basically get them >.>

Missle really can be a blessing or a curse. I've used it in 1P modes and misfires saved me when I was far off the stage, but it's incredibly unreliable.

I love misfires. It creeps me out about when you do one.

They always seem to work against you. Most of the time when you're doing a green missile it;s for a specific purpose, and a misfire just does something else.

It does come in handy if you're just doing short side-b;s back towards the stage. No chargers I mean. But it's not often I do that.

"SHOTGUN!" - I yell after a misfire... XD

The only thing i've had problem with is the stuck on the wall D: and the worst of all I was like 1cm below the edge and got spiked for that D:

Good things always come out of misfire (except Friendly Fire kills, maybe lols from that d<_< b...)...

I hate the Brawl misfire. It's just not sexy at all. It's slow, and WHERE IS TEH PH1R3?!

Melee misfire > all.

One of my regular Green Missiles got caped once by a Mario that was ledge stalling with the cape.. I attempted another Green Missile back, and it was a misfire that killed the Mario whom was ledge hogging ^^

Once a mario rushed out to cape my offstage torpedo, but he was too late, so instead of flipping me when i was iin front of him, he caught me with the back side of the cape, redirecting the torpedo right into Mario xD.

lol, hahaha.
I like misfires because I use the green missile a lot in my game and when a misfire comes up I own my opponent, I hate it when recoering though.

For some reason I can tell when it is a misfire, after one or two fights I know Luigi is due, and I just pop a green missile in the middle of the fight right infront of the opponent and it mostly works.
