New Mindgame/Technique?

[BladesOfBrothers]

I don't know if anyone has ever done this before but here goes. If your opponent has high percentage and is off the ledge, you can attempt to Blade Crash him when he recovers. This is where the mindgame/technique comes in; Instead of Blade Crashing him, just do the normal third attack of Blade Crash. I tried it on a couple of my friends and they keep trying to avoid my Blade Crash, only to end up dying to the normal third attack. Another mindgame/technique is if you're trying to go for the Blade Crash. If they have high percentage and you miss hitting them with Blade Crash, do the Up version on the last attack of Dancing Blade. It should kill him if his percent is high enough. Again, I don't know if anyone has ever done this before; Just wanted to share.

It's an okay idea, I guess, but FSmash and Shieldbreaker are better attacks to use for this kind of thing.

By the way, it's called "Dancing Blade".

Ah ok ^_^ I guess ill change my stradegy a bit XD

Yeah...using the dancing blade to edgeguard...no. The only reason why I'd use it against an opponent off stage is if I combo'd into it. I can kind of see the meteor of the sword dance (third hit, down) being used once in a while if you mindgame your opponent into falling for it but for the most part fsmash, shieldbreaker, and dtilts are all better options no matter the situation.

yeah, it's way easier for me to edgeguard with his f-smash than his dancing blade.

dtilt is more applicable than dancing blade for edgeguarding as well.
