Momentum Cancelling?

I saw this video on bucket-cancelling

Was wondering if Snake could do this with Up-B or anything

Short Answer:
No

Long Answer:
Nope

Longer Answer:
I tested most of my mains (lol random) for this when I saw it when it was first known. If I remember my testing, Snake has nothing.


Up-B's don't normally momentum cancel at all, except -maybe- the Tether people, when they are able to, at the ledge. <.> lol

That's unfortunate

1. Snake is like a tank, it's hard to kill him

2. Proper DI makes you live to ridiculous %'s already.

3. I find ____ braking only useful for the lighter characters; hence why this is awesome for G&W IMHO

You can't cancel your momentum with snake but you can use an aerial to get out of hitstun earlier and then fastfall. This will help you survive some hits you normally wouldn't.

Fastfall is only helpful during vertical knockback, and that is because your falling further from the top, allowing you to survive sooner.

Using an aerial does not get out of hitstun quicker, that would be airdodging, however it allows you to control your momentum sooner. It also works against your momentum, unlike airdodging.
