see this is going to take work i have provided a video to explain. the spike occurs where the whirls on his arms are taking place. But dont get happy yet. To get the front one to hit where the whirl is you have to aim with the tip of his hat in the front. if you just aim for the front whirl, it will miss and go to low to his legs. with the back. just aim for the whirl. so basically the easiest is when the tip of luigis hat in the front (the tip being the top part of the hat over the L for luigi). the video will be up shortly as im just uploading now. in the video i miss 2 and dont get the spike on the third lol. I had to rush before the battery ran out.

sorry about the double post, here is the link. One more thing, realize that this spike is an invisible hitbox. pretty much a tiny bit in front of luigi. I just figured so far that it was easy to get this hitbox by aiming the dair with the tip of luigis hat and it ends up working. when you get used to this, try a down throw into the spike and repeat twice this can end in some nasty combos. there is just so much more possibilities after this discovery.

Wow thanks for this, I will be sure to practice it, also got a tournament coming up on Saturday so it would be fun to spike people with this on command :laugh:.

Yea. It still looks like that'd be very difficult to actually use in a match. But that's what practice is for.

Dont' worry guys the more you practice this the more you will become familiar with the hitbox. Ive been practicing for a while now and pretty much doit on command which looks more skilled then ever. Keep practicing.

For more help I discovered that in training mode , play against falco and put his percentage at 35. Dthrow with luigi and jump straight up to level the front of luigis face with falcos whole body in the air, and thats where you spike with the dair. This should not require you to move foward or backwards whatsoever, just straight up. You should be able to spike him 3 or 4 time before he gets to 80%. this is to better familiarize you with luigis spike.

Being very familiar with luigi's spike is super win against Snake. Snake's recovery becomes a ton more vulnerable if he can be spiked.

Does the spike send the opponent straight down, or horizontally at an agle? I can't watch the video, and I tried the Falco at 35% technique, and the only kind of spike I can get is a horizontal one...

OOOH *facepalm* you guys are talking about spiking with the dair! I already knew that you could do that, I thought it was a spike with the fair...

Though, I still could be wrong, seeing as how I'm unable to watch the video, and I'm just going off the posts in this thread...

Nooo it's the dair. It's like you have to hit with his arms when he twirls(although the hitbox is a bit bigger than the arms themselves), and JUST the arms so if any other part of the dair hitbox hits the person it doesn't count.

Uhh we already knew you could spike with the dair too, this thread is to help do it on command successfully in real matches.
