Lucas' PSI Magnet Gliding?

[ShulkMonadoBoi]

I just discovered that when Lucas runs, short-hops and immediately does PSI magnet he does a sort of glide where he gains some propulsion without going off the ground. It's pretty cool but I can't get footage of it due to a lack of a recording device.

You could upload a replay and ask someone to record it.

yeah I've seen this, its cool because it puts a hotbox infront of lucas, providing a decent approach

I took a video for you:

I didn't showcase the hitbox for Lucas' PSI Magnet, but what B-dAWG said is true. I don't use that approach option much myself just because PSI Magnet has quite a bit of lag, and the hitbox area is strict (only the very center of the PSI Magnet has it, as opposed to something like F-Air which covers a large area in front of Lucas).

Discussed this in my Tech Video about 3 months ago...

Thanks ElementUser and fyazko for providing videos that show that that tech off.

Nahh. This is actually a pretty horrible approach.

16-frame start-up minimum for a tiny, 1-frame hitbox with 34 frames of endlag no matter what.

The best use of this is to pull out magnet without having to stop running, and only then it's not really useful unless you absorb something so you can cancel the endlag of the magnet.

Yeah, mainly used to Magnet Cancel to a jump or roll behind to maintain the momentum you already have while running. Only when the projectile or whatever is obvious of course.
Not good for an approach...
