That's not scrooging, that's ledge camping/planking. Scrooging is flying under Smashville with the help of the platform - which M2K did do later but RB didn't do anything in particular to stop it.

edit: unless you're talking about the 1 purple toss... there's no special technique there just good precision, there's no special mindset for that either

He didn't get to go under the stage because Rich hit him before he had a chance to. I never said there was a special technique. This is just for all those people that feel that there is a need to limit Scrooging.

Jebus, I really appreciate your attempt at teaching us how to combat MK, but I think you're going to have to elaborate more so that your posts are more worthwhile.

If you want to stop an MK from Scrooging, you have to hit him before he goes under the stage. It's pretty easy to do considering the fact that he can't air dodge while he is gliding

The problem with that is MK doesn't have to commit to the glide. He can cancel it at any time.

From a safe distance. There is no way M2K could have gotten close enough to hit Olimar without Rich being able to react to it. Seriously, do you people actually think before you speak?

Jebus you're wrong lol. You can stop him from gliding that 1 time with certain characters at certain spots, but what happens if he goes to the edge and then starts a glide from there? Or if he changes the glide height/approach angle. Or cancels the glide and still goes under the stage due to being MK?

Rich also had to rely on having a purple to knock him out of it. How many characters have a move period to deal with that, let alone a reliable move?

Real MK tip: his forward roll has weird/weak invincibility that people don't take advantage of.

The thing about that type of Scrooging is that MK is going to waste his ledge grabs if he goes for it. Players have a problem with SV because MK can Scrooge without having to waste his ledge grabs. If he goes for different heights, just time your attacks.

Well to be fair MK is actually limited while in his glide. He can't air dodge. He can do a glide attack which will cancel the glide or just cancel the glide normally. I guess he could have gone extremely low while gliding and avoided an potential projectile that way or just duck/soar to avoid it when it's used.

MK can glideattack or even simply jumpcancel his glide or he can glide upwards until he loses his momentum and his glide ends. He has so many options when gliding. Especially that glide attack that clashes with whatever you try to hit him out of.
