"meteor smash" and new MK trick ...please read/coment

[ollenberger121]

I have herd a lot of talk about how if MK had a meteor smash he would be the best character in the game…well a lot of people have over looked a new game mechanic then …… The foot stool jump (not saying is a meteor smash ) …the foot stool jump is a good technique that should be learned by MK users. It is very easy to do as MK as he has 5 jumps so when people are trying to recover vertically on to the stage use/abuse it. …or…there is one other thing you can do …..Dair and FSJ at the same time ….the foot stool jump part bounces you back up high enough to get back on the stage with out worries and the Dair will kill em good. It may seem hard to do but all you got to do is his the A+X/Y button and down on the control stick. ………..that’s all for now … Oh and please post if you find a better use for the FSJ+dair "combo".

A very useful trick, makes Meta Knight even better at edgeguarding. Unfortunately, I always forget about footstool jumping.

Ever hear of edgespiking?

Even better than a footstool jump.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I was playing vs. somebody who was Yoshi. (I can't remember who) They were falling off the edge and I jumped down to take the edge so they couldn't get it and missed so I tried to fly back up but footstool jumped and wham, instant kill. It's a really good technique.

 

[boom-man97]

an interesting proposition
will definantly have to try it
edge-guarding meta ftw

Can someone give some tips for FSJ'ing? I can't seem to get it right... I mean, I think I'm right over them, but nothing.

replying to this late lol but that's useful information there. i've been doing this to people a lot lol. most of the time i do it and they hit off the edge and get spiked. it's really smart to do, IMO. most of the time i did this without even trying for the footstool jump just happened on accident.

I accidentally did it to a CPU Gannon. I laughed so much, I decided to save the replay. But if it works well, I'll have to use it more often. I always forget it exists...

 

[Brawler9477]

Nice ill try it out

 

[Doval]

Footstool Jumping isn't completely reliable. If the foe is in the middle of a move (including his recovery,) the Foostool Jump won't cause him/her to tumble.

 

[boom-man97]

most of meta's moves pop the enemy up and meta is slow in the air so its really hard to get there in time to do an effective footstool. if your opponant is on the outside of the stage and your closer to it than a Dair will send him very effectivly away from the stage

Usually a footstool alone will kill them but against some characters (Pit, DDD, MK) This works quite well.

I read a guide on a different forum that claimed that there is a small hitbox in metaknight's n-air that performs a meteor smash, right when he is upside down, but I have never been able to do it....

 

[Uncle Fitzy]

And if that fails you could always master his UpB... that is a way better kill move than people give him credit for.

I have never seen or heard of it so I would think it's not true.

 

[ollenberger121]

I dont think the nair does a meteor smash........

 

[EternalCrusade]

Yea, usually I jump off the stage after my opponent and dair him, if hes under the stage and fly back, but sometimes I accidently footstool him, and its quite useful, Im trying to get better at it now

 

[ollenberger121]

i know ...most people say the dair kills better but usually it ends up (for me anyway) sending them at and angle where they can recover

 

[Deleted member]

footstool jump out of dair is too good =)

i should know hahaha!

 

[Fliperotchy]

if you dsmash someone when they come from in front of or below you, it spikes them like link's d-tilt in SSBM.

 

[ollenberger121]

thats awsome i gottah try that haha...........


"edit" ....hey guys i found this on a diffrent forum....and can MK use this and how well ?
