My results with the New Semi-Universal GFSC AT

Watch the vid and look at how the player uses footstooling.

Now that you've watched the vid, I'll show my results...

Which is nothing. The only possible move that can work with GFSC is D-air, that's only if you footstool him the 2nd time, and even then, you have to do the sequences quite fast in order for it to hit.

Irritating, no? Few characters got buffed by this while Mario doesn't, unless your opponent is a complete ****** and allow you to jump on his head a bunch of times.

Oh well. If you guys find anything feel free to share, but so far I got absolutely nothing.

Spoiler

At least we got FIHL. Should Suffice.

I depends on a few other thing like size and animation. Mario has more things he can do then you think with this AT but the only one I can think of on the top of my head is Dair and Nair on Yoshi (1st Footstool). This probally has some interesting applications but it'll be tough since the timing is pretty strict, not quite as strict as Dair to Uair in one SH, but pretty close. Try footstooling other characters and be inventive.

I see what you mean. I see how this can work on Yoshi pretty well, and working on the other characters.

But personally, I think Mario's main thing out of footstool will come from aerial footstooling. I just tried out some possible setups that can lead to an aerial footstool, and can quite possibly lead into a jab lock.

Mario won't get much from GFSC, but I'm definitely seeing some imagination with the aerial footstooling.

EDIT: Just got called in by my Brawl Buddies. I'll try thes aerial setups and see how it works. If they turn out to be productive then I'll let you all know.

I don't think that GFSC will be that useful. Honestly, it seems like it will quickly become predictable. People will learn what to expect when it looks like you're about to jump right on top of them. They'll just let out a Usmash and punish for even attempting it.

I have to agree with him.

But still, I'm testing this out so maybe it could be useful. But the only attacks Mario seems to be able to do out of a GFSC is the first frame Up B (about 4% damage), and the first hit of D-air (which is 1% damage by the way) this was tested with Game and Watch though.

Edit: Also N-air as well but requires very difficult timing, you have to be extremely fast, only able to pull it off once. I'm also thinking the larger the character the harder it is to time the d-air but you get 4% instead of 1% damage, but I found the timing difficult.

I'll be suprised if any character gets anything out of this thing.

 

[Oblique]

I kind of foresaw this. plus its not that nice of a combo.

 

[Ray/Boshi]

The risk is far greater then the reward of landing it in my opinion.

 

[Judge Judy]

This tech is really just another little tidbit like hill-dashing and ISJR. It could setup some things for some characters but most characters probally won't get much out of this tech. Maybe we'll figure out something like an Uair juggle into a footstool combo but IDK.

 

[HeroMystic]

Well, my tests seemed to turn out into a bust. The aerial setups are pretty much too hard to do since the characters are constantly moving and attacking, therefore you can't aerial footstool them. Oh well, but in any case, might as well throw out my setups to see if anyone else can figure something out.

U-tilt (Multiple times) > Footstool > N-air or B-air > Jab Lock. (Low % only)

D-air > Double Jump > Footstool > N-air > Jab Lock (Low % only)

D-tilt (Yes, I'm trying to find a use for d-tilt) > Dash > Jump > Footstool > Jab Lock (High % only)

That's all I got. As far as GFSC goes, it's crap for Mario and only mildly works on Yoshi. Other characters like DK and Peach has better use for this.

 

[BoTastic!]

hmm I'll do some testing.

 

[Mario_ 101]

meh, i don't think it works with mario that well. an interesting find nontheless.

 

[BoTastic!]

hmm doesn't work with mario. Doesn't work with Rob either. well at least i got Peach. Works very well with her.

 

[Mardyke]

I knew there'd be another kind of penalty for Mario lacking any downward attacks.

 

[viparagon]

why not cape? it stops momentum.
