Kirby Taunt Cancel

[TensenROB]

I was playing around with nonsense techniques and found that if you taunt cancel with Kirby's d-taunt he does lose his power. As far as singles go this is probably useless but maybe it has some doubles application. If this doesn't warrant a thread or is in the wrong place please direct me to the nearest exit.

This can still be helpful in singles. I use it quite a bit. If you're fighting Ivysaur, and you suck her up, you get one fully charged solar beam. When you use it, it's gone, and the power is useless, so you need to get rid of the power so you get suck back. This helps. Really there are times when I just want to ditch a power because I think suck will work better in a given situation or I decide for that matchup it's better. Sometimes I take a power after suck just for the angle it sends the off at.

Also, if you lightly tap downtaunt, Kirby does the "Hi" from Melee instead of Brawl, for ultimate skill showing.

So imagine this. You suck up a Samus. You take the chargeshot. You charge it up, shoot her off the stage, run off, taunt cancel off the ledge (using the unique lightpress Hi for extra style points) to ditch the power, and use Inhale for the Kirbycide.

Are there other powers you can use up like Ivysaur's? I never knew that. When I taunt cancel I don't hear Kirby say anything, is it only the tap taunt that'll work?edit:Just tested it, you're right!

I have footstool bound to X and never considered Kirby's footstool, thanks!

Hurm, no. All of the other ones stay forever. You just get rid of it for the stylish Kirbycide.

It's also awesome for Kirby/Ivysaur team. So glad tensenROB mentioned the taunt cancel, because it has been very helpful to me.

I guess I should also mention that it's awesome to do for no reason because why not and I'm the best.
