Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.You forgot to mention in the 1.0.4 buffs that Shadow Sneak got less endlag.
Hydro Pump can almost always be used to get some free damage and hopefully push them somewhere they don't want to be. Also trumping the edge grab works nicely.How are you guys edge guarding with the ninja? I find it hard relying on bair in some match ups.
I remember I checking this and it was possible at ledge height if you still had a double jump. From the looks of things, you could probably get out of some situations pretty effectively with Substitute, but hitting the opponent might be difficult. I'm not too sure though -- I didn't do that much testing really.Something I've been wondering for a while that is rather unexplored as is:
Spiking people with Substitute.
I want to know if it's possible to use downward at ledge height and still survive and if not, what's the minimum height we need to be to survive it.
I've thinking about it and I think using Substitute like that can be a pretty good way of turning an edgeguarding situation around.
So, some months ago I was discussing this and just recently TournyLocator's series "Tech of the week" went over this and I think it'd be nice to bring it back up for the frog considering his FTilt got a buff so follow ups could be actually possible with it now. Has anyone been using this tech at all? I haven't really used it outside of a few times but only because I haven't really been playing as much due to a vacation lately.Not sure how many people know of this, if any, but early this morning I was watching aMSa's stream and saw him doing a strange version of a Perfect Pivot. So I went to the lab and tried to figure out how he did it and I think i've figured it out.
You start by dashing in the opposite direction you want to slide in, then turn around to dash in the direction you do want to slide in, afterwards before your initial dash ends you input your tilt/smash/special/whatever.
It seems to be based heavily on the same concept as Perfect Pivot in that your distance will be determined by how good your initial dash is. I also don't know if it works without the dash reversal, need to test.
If this is a known tech and i'm entirely wrong on how it's performed let me know.
You're probably holding down too long. Practice in training with slo mo and also try it from leaning off of the edge instead of a full run first.I'm thinking of picking Greninja back up again. One of the things I'm having issues with right now is how do I get the timing down on the ledge trump? It seems like every time I do it, he fast falls into the bottom part of the stage instead of grabbing the ledge. Is it worth learning to ledge trump with Greninja?
Yes he does benefit from wavebouncing. I really wish he could cancel/store his charge though. Even without that, it is a nice fake out to use and recovers pretty fast to where you might get some follow ups depending on how they reacted.Can greninja's neutral b benefit from this? Im having a hard time doing this on 3ds.
Only after recently watching some videos (yours included) have I seen more people trying to ledge trump with Greninja. Given his excellent options standing about a full forward smash away from the ledge I find it a waste of positional advantage to go for the trump when most people will be able to easily read you for it and roll safely away. It is of course a nice trick to have in your back pocket against that special type of opponent who has the tendency to hold on for their full invincibility, then you can perform all the aforementioned shenanigans.I rarely ledge trump as well and I do perfectly fine without it, not really crucial in Greninja's playstyle IMO.
I use it as a mixup by short-hopping into a horitonzal hydro pump and zig-zag, or as an escape just horizontally hydro pumping away from someone. I also use it as a juggler by delaying someone's descent or just straight delaying them from where they're going in general. Check out my videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/CapsLockFury/videosHow are you guys using hydro pump? Any weird qualities?
I know people are using it to punish air dodges now. I try to use it at the edge and aim the hydro pump diagonally so that it covers a low angle. Not much success seeing how im either missing or too early.
The final hit of a fully charged shireken is angled downward perfectly to hit someone on the ledge once their invincibility frames where off. Try to time it to reach the ledge right when your opponent becomes vulnerable, I have gotten lots of kills this way. Throwing a fully charged shireken also covers 2 of your opponents options for roll and stand up, leaving them to either drop down (very disadvantageous position, their best approach at this point to jump right below the ledge and lead in with a forward air for most characters). Or jump, which leaves you open to smack them in the face with our forward air, neutral air, or RAR if you're quick enough. This is all if you space yourself well enough so your shireken hits the ledge on its final hit, if you find yourself closer to the ledge when your opponent is there, you still have options, mainly smash and tilt.What options do you guys use when your opponent is on the ledge? I feel like I don't apply the pressure that I should toward an opponent hanging on ledge. What moves do we have in our arsenal that are tailored to these purposes?
I was actually thinking about posting about this, but mostly about greninjas foxtrot cancel (unless that's the same thing as dance trot? idk). I found a greninja on fg (oddly enough) who had his foxtrot canceling down and his footsies were hella real. I feel like standard greninja mind games typically consist of shorthopping around to stay unpredictable, but I think being able to easily weave out and back in for a dash grab or dash attack could be useful.can you guys dance trot with greninja well? The pace is very awkward.

I haven't been able to nail down the timing to his foxtrot cancel, but I'm thinking about figuring it out this weekend and practicing it with some audio cues. If I end up doing this, I'll upload it to soundcloud and post it up here.
