Impact Blaster Jab Lock Setup

[Jeak]

Sorry that I can't show video footage of this but I think I found a way to setup for a jab lock with one of Fox's custom moves!
You can set up for a jab lock by F-Tilting your opponent at around 70-80% and shoot him with an impact blaster laser as he is touching the ground. Because of this, the opponent ist forced to get up on the spot. You can use this to your advantage and hit him with a charged Usmash or with the Twisting Fox custom move. This will kill most of the time. However, this setup will only work when your opponent misses to tech on the ground. This is setup is also possible after a forward throw, but this is easily DIable or techable because your opponent has plenty of time to tech.
If you want, I can show this setup with crappy camera footage.

You can run in and do it with a down-angled ftilt too. But yeah this is a handy trick.

Falco mains have been doing this for quite some time now. I can't believe I didn't think about this with Fox for customs! At high percents it would be easy to do:

ftilt--->blaster--->usmash

or

nair--->blaster--->usmash

these would allow for a safer hit confirm into usmash off of a missed tech. Nice point to bring up

F-Throw also works as a set up for the lock at lower percents as long as the opponent does not tech or jump before they touch the ground.

So, can you do this with any of Fox's moves that force a tech? Can Impact be used for jab locking randomly missed techs?

 

[EndlessRain]

Technically, yes, but not every move that forces techs will leave you in a prefect position to shoot them afterwards.

low to mid percent B-Air into B-reversed Impact Blaster also works, I've main tested this on falco , but I remember for him it worked at like 35% and ended around 60%-70%.
