General disclaimer: don't know if this was discovered yet. Erase or lock if it was.

First let me state that I have no vids due to the fact that I have no Vid equiptment. Second this was tested on CF snake and falco. You can ken combo an opponent if marth is traveling at a downward angle towards the other character. its actually quite simple. You just di towards the other character after the fair and then jump and dair. the other character will not be able to air dodge or di out of it. But marth must have downward momentum for it to work. But it does work. Easiest to do if the character is trying to come back on stage at an upward angle.


Ok i tested and it also works on DEDEDE.

it is possible. your downward momentum will make it so they cant di or airdodge out of it. once again you need to have downward momentum.

Downward momentum and the guts to take an SD.

Vids or it didn't happen, use a digital camera or something, as long as we can see it.

I'll agree that Ken Combo exists in this game if you can show us a video of you doing this over and over again without SDing, against someone who DIs efficiently and airdodges.

I really don't think that the hit stun is enough to be able to DI towards your opponent, jump, and dair. So show us a vid. We don't care about video quality. This could potentially be a great find for marth.

Yeah I saw a video of the ken combo being used somewhere in the combo video section on smashboards look it up it provides good way to set it up mainly saw it used after a throw though, but you folks should watch.

Ya, i tested this with DI and airdogdes, it doesn't work on all characters just mainly the heavy ones and only around low precents (won't work beyond 35% usually). You need to fair then as soon as you do your second jump dair. It's really easy to do.

I randomly got this to work on Falco a couple days ago, but his airdodging is questionable (good DI though). And yes, I had downward momentum, but I didn't SD. I don't have a vid though (match was longer than 3 minutes...) so feel free to discount this entire thing.

Since you have downward momentum doesn't the ending lag of your dair make nigh impossible to recover. OR do u mean have downward momentum and quickly jump before spiking?
