needle bounce

[<π]

might as well share it. haven't found a strong use for it yet but you can wave bounce with the needle charge.

dash forward > jump > press B > immediately tap and hold the opposite direction of your dash

it's like a reverse falcon punch, just a little faster.

you'll change direction in the air. zip-a-dee-doo.

I thought it might be good for mind gaming in retreating bairs but the distance you gain is so minimal that I really wonder. Full hopped needles benefit a little more.

Huh, I've never imagine doing a neutral B wavebounce before with Sheik.

Might as well give it a go and see if the difficult of doing the bounce is worth the effort of pulling it off.

Lol isn't this reverse needles not a wave bounce???

 

[Tristan_win]

Besides looking cool this is pretty useless with Sheik as the pull back from the wavebounce is about as far as a normal retreating fair

The way the needles come out look like they might make it harder for your opponent to recover if they try to smash DI back toward the stage but I really don't think this has any real use and since it's so difficult to pull off I really don't see any reason to try to add this to my game.

Although I suppose you could use this to avoid a attack of some sort, which would be **** sexy especially if you caught in on film but it would also allow you to quickly strike back if you with a fair or maybe Nair.

On a side note I'm apparently a beast

Yes, yes it has but we aren’t talking about changing direction with needles but wave bouncing

Follow the link to learn and see what wavebouncing is.

Reverse needles is tapping the reverse direction, then pressing B.

This, the wavebounce, is pressing B then tapping the reverse direction.

Just letting ChromePirate and a few others know. >_>

Lol no.

yeah not horribly useful... I use it I wanna poke shield with bair because I can approach and still stay out of grab range and inversely when I'm retreating from a dash attack, smash or aerial and want to come back with a fair and go on the offensive it can be useful.

With practice you can get it down pretty well, it's no melee SWD.

Oh okay lol

well its... something

sheik players will need all the character specific tricks and tidbits they can get, i suppose

it doesn't seem like something u could use frequently in ur gameplay, but using it scarcely could throw ppl off.
