If you have fast fingers, try this out for Samus...

[LanceStern]

Xyro was definitely right when they said the future of Samus is the ledge. For the people with fast fingers and good tech skill, try to combine these two moves:

Instant Z Edge Guard

and

Tether Grab Cancelling


I accidently did this while practicing yesterday and was amazed. I can't even put the applications of this into words because it's hard to do and provides for NASTY ledge mindgames. You have instant ledge -> attack possibilities

So if you have any free time try it, and anything you can do out of the Tether Grab Cancel you can do with this.

 

[Mr9]

so wait what is it you want us todo?

 

[LanceStern]

Combine instant z edge guarding with the tether grab cancel.

Run to the ledge, instant z grab the ledge but tether grab cancel it instead of snapping back on with invincibility frames

 

[Mr9]

hmmm 'll try it... sounds hard to do though

 

[Xyro77]

i told you people the ledge **** is where its at. TRUST ME

 

[Mr9]

we know xyro we know

It was clearly obvious from the start that the ledge was great for samus. Missles, morph bombs z tether, geatest spike in the game, all of those factors contributes greatly to samus game revolving the ledge. I was aware of the tether grab canceling, although the instant z edge guard was nice Easy way to stop olimar's recovery :D

LOL WHAT I didn't know you could do it with your back facing the ledge and simple sh backwards

WOW how did I not think of that

It looks so coollllll

Anyways I actually got another thing to practice that is offensive, so I'ma work on that too.

 

[LanceStern]

I was thinking more of the running to ledge -> instant Z grab -> tether cancel

But the Short hop one is just as surprising. I didn't know you could do it either.

 

[DelxDoom]

The run to ledge one is not as cool imo because the opponent is usually gonna expect a ledgehug anyways

The standing back to ledge one is reminiscent of wd backwards to edgegrab haha

 

[Throwback]

samus can instant z tether? Time to re-read some things....

 

[Smash G 0 D]

Er... I've been doing this for a while xP it's aight. I don't like canceling my tethers that much but I'm working on it. The best use for it is Bair unless it's something really situation. Or a Dair that gets lower a few frames faster.

 

[LanceStern]

The best use for what? The combination or the tether cancel?

Cause the tether cancel has much better purposes than bair/dair
