New Spin On An Old Technique

[lavagolem123]

Well I was messing around a while ago, I'm not sure if anyone knows about it, and I did the teleport downwards towards the ledge. Kinda works like Fox's Up-B, just a little harder to do. It can be done from virtually ANY height as long as you are within the range of Mewtwo's Teleoport and the ledge. Here's a video:

Thoughts? I already gimped a couple of my friends with it >=]

 

[quak]

yep, it's already known

however, coincidentally i experimented with it today, and if you do the same thing as the firefox stall, cept teleport towards the stage ( making a quick half circle motion with the control stick) it MAY be fast enough to be an infinate.... hmmmmmm

 

[Taj278]

It is not fast enough to be an infinite. You lose ledge invincibility during the teleport.

Ya I thought that i already brought this up in airo's ledge cancled tele thread. I find it usefull for the random mind game once and awhile but taj is right, definatly not fast enough for the infinate. Great find tho

 

[Airo]

yeah, tonji did bring this up.

i really dont find it applicable, but im still waiting for tonji to prove me wrong with a real live match

 

[Taj278]

It is indeed applicable, it's just another way to move and refresh ledge invincibility. Nothing too significant. It can be somewhat tricky if you want it to be, but once again, nothing ground breaking.

 

[Airo]

wouldnt it be hazardous to try and sweetspot from such a close range to the ledge?

to me, it just looks like a free hit.

if its the "use once every 10 match" kinda mindgame then i can understand ._."

 

[Tongji]

ya airo about that match, I went to the turny in white water and sadly the player who was going to bring the recording setup didn't show so im really sorry for getting anyone exited However me and my friend are looking into a capture card, perhaps we will purchase one soon. I hope!

 

[Taj278]

Airo, perhaps I'm looking at your objection the wrong way, or I'm misinterpreting what everyone's talking about. It's just another mix up for recovery or playing the ledge. It's not that risky at all unless you're trying to sweet spot so ridiculously close to the ledge for no reason.

Its mostly just a mindgame to bring about movement on your part in order to bring about a reaction from the opponent or make him wait so you can just return to the stage. It's not a once every 10 match mindgame, but it's not something you just do while they're ready for it.

if you want a stall infinite, just let go and air dodge and regrab it. I don't recommend it though.

 

[quak]

yeah, leaves you really vulnerable to ninjas

i'll just be flashy with the teleport to stall for recovering opponents

 

[Airo]

im not too sure what this tecnique is for anymore..........

could someone elaborate on WHEN you would use this? o.o

 

[quak]

like you know how spacies use their upB to refresh invincibility on like a recovering marth to edgehog? Same thing just teleport.

or for fancy pants mindgames to get back on ur feet

 

[Airo]

ledge fancyness i can understand.

i just dont see it ever safe to do when an opponent is close to you

 

[quak]

probably isn't, but if your a beast you don't care

jk

 

[Tongji]

I use the vertical tele when I am above the stage recovering. It's a great way to screw up your opponents because when you tele the camera follows you. When you vertical tele it will give the impression that you have tele'd to the plat form insted of the edge. So your opponent my try and attack you, hopefully wiht a high lag move which you can then punish.

 

[MetaKnight0]

Air dodge isn't even fully invulnerable, so that stall is risky too, if not riskier.
