Ledge Tether Cancel into Anything?

Kk its up. ****ty quality.
A few days ago when doing some friendlies with an offline bud. I did a tether to grab the ledge, it brought me up to the ledge, canceled me grabbing the ledge and I did a Nair. (I was up against the ledge, right when i was supposed to grab the ledge, I didnt, and did a Nair instead. ) It was rather instant and fast. And I got my second jump back, and was able to retether. I tried to recreate this happening but I cannot.

Ill have a video up soon, to clarify what I did. It will be up tomorrow.

Discuss?

almost as awsome as rshzing

XD

Who knows? I donno. Thought id toss it out there.

 

[SaiX]

that happened me a lot of times, only it's a small bug

 

[Sago]

saix someone was talking **** about my samus saying you were much better so we'll have to play okay

 

[DelxDoom]

This happens when you're in a specific zone in relation to the edge

It really doesn't seem useful.

It really doesn't seem useful.

No it doesnt, it could be used as a edgeguard tactic or mindgame.

As I said, just tossing it out there. Im already trying to see if i can recreate it. IE Ledge Cancel into Dair quickly, i wonder if it grants an invincibility frame or two?

This happens all the time. To recreate it, you need to be moving in the air so that when you press Z, you are within the tether's range of grabbing the ledge. Then you need to move out of the tether's range to grab the ledge before your tether grabs the ledge. As soon as you cancel the grapple, you are immediately put into your falling animation. So if you c-stick a dair, you will fast fall it. You can buffer a down input before the grapple to perform a normal dair.

There's another one where you grapple the ledge but the grapple doesn't stick to it even though you didn't use the grapple 3 times. After the grapple fails, Samus retracts it and you are free to grapple/whatever again. If you have your double jump, you can jump up and try to tether again, and (if you haven't grappled 3 times yet) the grapple should stick to the ledge. I can't seem to find the cause for this one, though.

 

[Ravin]

@ Orly - I see. It didnt hurt to brainstorm some.

 

[0RLY]

So... I don't see much potential for this other than mindgames. Mindgames only trick others into doing what you want. It doesn't make the character any better...

btw... no invincibility frames because Samus never gets to grab the ledge.

 

[Ravin]

That sucks. :/

-Throws plans out the window-

Good try though. At least we are trying, ya know?

Still, ill keep it under as a mindgame/edgeguard tactic.

In that video, Rohins is manually canceling the tether. But I digress, they're pretty much the same thing.

 

[Jasona]

even the maxed out tether cancel is still useless. you get all that height over the ledge, but still can't get back on the stage. cool mindgame though

 

[0RLY]

The sad part is that it doesn't speed nor slow Samus down in any way so you can't even use it to time invincibility, air stall, or anything.
