I was labbing today and saw that an uncharge aura-sphere initiate a jab lock. So I figured maybe mii gunner's charge shot could to. It does!

The best way to see this is to go into training and get a cpu mario to like 28%. Have a slightly charged shot.You'll just need to try it until you find the right threshold. Too small and it travels to slow to reach the opponent in time. Too big and it won't jab lock.

I suggest using F-throw; while it can be jumped out of and teched upon landing, it is the best move I've found. Someone unfamiliar with gunner, will not be ready for the tight window they have to jump out or tech it.

Just F-Throw into slight charged Charge Shot. I have yet to find a move that can extend the lock.(please help and see if you can find something) I find that the best ways to end the jab lock are U-Smash or Canon Uppercut(custom special 2)

Discuss, perhaps you can find somethings I didn't.

AzuraSarah posted this jab lock in the "Jab Lock/Reset" options thread. I am glad you are able to get it on lighter characters though. I think dash attack to fair to forward smash might also be a good follow up.

If your foe is dumb enough to sit there in prone for long enough, a homing Gunner Missile can also initiate a lock. Not going to happen against any remotely competent opponent most of the time, but maybe if they miss a tech when landing on a higher platform…?

Gunner can definitely jab lock with Missiles.. You don't always need platforms, Grenade Launch can set it up with good timing.
