Tumultus
Smash Apprentice
So, it's a thing for Samus (or is it all characters?) to up-b "out of shield" and it's a viable tactic. I asked someone exactly what the button input to do this is, and he told me you're supposed to shield, and press jump from within the shield, then immediately up b. He claims this is what keeps it from causing a frame loss.
My problem is I keep trying it, and it's fine, but I also try it without ever pressing jump, but rather let go of the shield button and up b immediately and visually I see no difference. I don't perceive the frame advantage I get from jumping before doing the screw attack...?
This is unlike the jump-cancel up smash out of shield. That I DO see why you gotta jump prior to up smashing, but for screw attack not so much. Am I just imagining this or was the guy actually wrong about having to jump?
