I haven't seen anybody do this before...this should be added to the Bomb Guide.

It helps against lets say spacies that go above you and are out of your Ledgehop Range... and will stun them while you get up there to **** them. Not to mention its quick and easy to setup.

Looks like it could be useful. To me it seems very situational :/

I see how you could use this for edge gaurding a Fox/Falco though.

Now that I think of it...it'd be great against Marth also.

And yes situational.

I don't know how the average marth play style is, but the ones I play ussually like to sweet spot the edge. So for me it's better to just plant the bomb on the edge. Like when edge hopping, just drop the bomb while jumping onto the stage. If done right it should just sit there on or close to the edge.

But if you're currently on the edge, they're going to try and land on the ledge, and during that process their sword will hit the bomb and make them go boom and you get in a free Dair.

I dont see that being useful at all. Your better off jumping off and n-airing spacies bomb drop d-air(Laifire!!!)/d-tilt if their coming below. Or just jumping off and n-airing them works too :O

........Did you read my posts at all?

PS: Laifire is pretty easy to tech, and so is dtilt. I do agree with the Nair part...but like I said it is situational and also read my posts.

Laifire is pretty easy to tech. But i've had almost no problems with doing it and expecting people to tech.
From my experience, when you use it once during a set against an experienced player(in my case, KoreanDJ, ChuDat, etc etc), they will likely not try and recover from below the ledge after getting killed once by the Laifire. Lai-fire into dtilt spike works as a surprise. Most likely they won't tech or cancel it because of the shock(Yes..i've seen it happen). But once they've seen it once, it does'nt work again on those types of players. So use it as a trump card for edgeguarding when their recovering from below ;]

it seems useful as a way to cover move options.. but i doubt it would work consistantly. it might work the first 1 or 2 times.. but that's it

@Laijin - as an alternative to Laifire I like bomb drop -> dtilt spike.

@VaNz - Like I said, situational, but I've used it multiple times already. It's true potential is just mindgaming them into something else.

mindgaming is very useful against marth
