Need help with C4 recovery

[EmperorCesar]

I've seen plenty of people do the C4 recovery, but I cant seem to make it work. The MAIN problem is that every time I try to release a C4, I end up making myself fast fall... and when I try to detonate it, I fast fall once again. I'm sure this technique is useless if I'm making myself fast fall while doing it.

How are some of yall pulling out the C4 and detonating it without forcing Snake to fast fall?

i use the gc controller and i set the made the c-stick so it can use special moves. so if use down on the c-stick( c4) u wont fast fall.

Either that, or just tilt the control stick slightly down, instead of all the way down.

What I found with using the analog stick is to just flick it. Flick it once down to drop the bomb then let it return to neutral for a split second, then flick it again to down b immediately. If you flick it, it should prevent you from fast falling out of cypher. (Of course you can b-stick instead, if that's how you roll

Just practice. The huge cavernous space in Temple is a nice spot.

how do you plant the c4 on yourself tho.

You don't, you simply drop it in the air and detonate it very quickly so that you get caught in the blast radius.

Thanks for the tips

I start the C4 attack BEFORE the cypher finishes its rise, since I realize I won't be able to make it back onto the stage. I just hold the control stick down and repeatedly mash on B. That way as soon as he gets out of the cypher he drops a C4, and it explodes shortly thereafter. Works 100% of the time for me, and is pretty easy actually.

Oh aiight.

ilnadmy is correct. i do that too. then again..maybe its cuz i still suck at fastfalling all the time =P
