I made a vid about this a while back but it didn't show all i wanted to show.

Backtracking is very simple to do simply grab your enemy head-but 1 time, then B-throw, and wavedash back in the same motion. then press z to grab. after that tech chase after nana throws him. This only works on Fox and Falco. (It works on falcon at low % but when fighting falcon its better to just normal chain-grabs.)


This new chain-grab isn't meant to replace the old-school(D-throw,S-hop,D-air,Grab) chain-grab in any way. Back tracking only purpose is to confuse and impress your enemy. It also provides a nice tech chase opprotunity because all you have to do it predict where Nana is going to throw.

Here are 3 good examples of "Backtracking" Feel free to comment.

Ive seen vids of wobbles D-throwing with popo and re-grabbing with nana but ive never seen a vid of anybody doing this so I thought it was new. I made an old vid of this chain grab under my old account but the quality was bad. If you remember the vid you saw it in sendn me a link.

well since its based off DI it might not work on some characters but this has been known for a while its just really unreliable.

if it was possible to get the frame data for every character and that it is impossible to escape then it could be used lol

I know its not that useful. I just felt it was useful on fox and falco at low %. Like i said the old school down throw down air is still better.

No d-throw up-tilt is where it's at. but yeah b-throw handoff could make it so you could hand-off gannon anywhere on the stage if nana up-throws then f-air spike.

Nice, that grab is super sexy can't believe i missed it before. This is the first I've heard of it, I like it a lot. I think DI up would ruin this, has anyone tested yet? I think im gonna smash this weekend and there will be a Fox maybe i'll try it.
