Ledge Drop To Shine Bair

[Volrec]

Kay.

I was watching that Koto vs Aniki match (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI38LWhnyZA) and at 1:21, Koto ledge drops to a shine, turns around and Bairs.


I think this is a good technique, but are there any flaws besides being intercepted?

Yes, I realized this is in the Falco boards.

I don't see what the point of doing this over a N-air, D-air, or LHDL would be.

 

[technomancer]

More range and priority and damage than nair, actually not a bad trick.

maybe it could cancel some attacks...but idk about doing that against sword's >.> and thats it...i gotta watch this..


after watching, looks like it could boggle some minds while playing..

 

[Adi]

If they're not close enough for you to land an N-air LHDL would be my choice of moves imo.

Zelgadis did pull a ledge dropped shine - bair on me =(.

I like to jump off the edge, shine, shine cancel, back onto the ledge.

Personally, I think this is just a flashy trick that won't gain you much more than another mind game to keep at the ready.

Like Adi said, LHDL, LH N-Air, LH D-Air are all easier and safer... (And arguably much better)

Anytime you're fooling with lots of button inputs off the stage, you're risking SD, or punishment from an edge guard.

Yes, B-Air has more knockback than any of the others, and yes, you could pull this out and KO people on occasion, but I really think this technique is more show than anything else.

o_o haven't any of you guys seen crazy chicken? nox opens up with like 5 of those

it's a flashy edgeguard...that works

sumtimes i wouldnt always count on it though

 

[MrBitter]

It's a flashy edguard that works when you don't screw up. In Crazy Chicken Nox used the ledge drop, shine, b-air on recovering opponents when they were recovering from below the stage.

Ledge drop, d-air.
Ledge drop, b-air. (without the shine)
Or even a d-smash from the safety of the stage are all just as viable as edge guards.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being flashy. If you want to be safe and efficient, though, then I just don't see the point.
