This is not a joke. I was playing with my friend earlier today and we both jumped. I did luigi's fair and he got spiked. I could not get a replay bcuz the match was too long. Please test this out. I promise this is not a joke.

Gee thats a lot of info to work with =/ You could at least give the circumstances and about where the hit box seemed to be, the character you were playing against, etc...

Well, if you think about it, his fair propels characters diagonally Upwards. I dont believe that it would be possible for a move designed for A: the side and B: upwards.
Just doesnt seem right to me.
Then again, Luigi IS a god, so anything's possible.

This could also be a case of improper DI. Ask your friend if he remembers how he DI'd, becuase if he DI'd down he might have been sent at a downward angle.

I was playing against a link. The hitbox seemed to be closer to the arm. Just try it out. I am pretty sure I know the difference between bad DI and a spike.

hitbox=The part of the characters that cause damage during attacks.
FAir=Forward Air attack
DI=Directional Influence, when you influence your trajectory.

I'm not believing this until I see a video. It could have just been some wierd glitch, like that air tripping thing.

We were near the middle of FD. Not a stage spike, instead of wishing for videos try it please.

Woah what's with the hostility? It could happen, people just realised that Wolf's F Air has about 2 frames near the end where it spikes, so dont be so quick to scorn.

first of all, im no hater. i just said that was a funny joke. Second, if his dair spike was easy you would see people using it way more often and becoming with success, which you don't. there is no offense to you.

Shaman King is a really good manga, but please stop going off topic people. I think this is possible just try it.
