o.O 42% up smash?

[thexsunrosered]

so the other day i was playing my friend when the strangest thing happened. i had just gimped him as charizard and when he came back as squirtle he decided he was going to change. i was on the far left side of smashville and he was just right of the center of the stage when he began to change. I DACUS'd and charged while he wasn't there and immediately when ivysaur came out, i hit him 3 times and did 42 damage >.> the match was like 3:34 or something so i don't have a video but what do you guys think o.o

Five? Closer to three, I suspect. The upper hit of the usmash deals 17%, while the side hit deals 13%. Normally, a double hit like this adds up to 30%. However, in the rare case of all three hits connecting, you'll deal up to 43% in a single usmash.

 

[Yoshi Kirishima]

what do you mean it hit him 5 times? as in the attack had 5 hits to it?

Yes, with both of the 2 hits from a uncharged upsmash, it does 30% dmg. Pretty amazing huh? But usually if they're high percent/not on the ground or close to it, only the first hit will hit them with does i think 17% dmg uncharged. Still quite a lot The 2nd hit usually only hits if they're on the ground or if they're pretty low %, or else the first hit will hit them away before the 2nd one will.

Edit: whoa, ankoku... wait 43%? I thought there's only 2 hits... im new with Shiek so tell me if im wrong. I'm guessing they'd have to be like very big/fast fall/lower percent to be hit with all 3... dang thats a lot of dmg :D

 

[thexsunrosered]

ok that sounds reasonable. it was my friend who said five times to me, i only saw the damage, and i've hit with three before anywat, but never that strong. this is pretty epic >.>

 

[XxBlackxX]

er...i think the most u can get is 3 hits, which is around 40-45% if i remember correctly

 

[thexsunrosered]

now it says three >.>

Usually this happens with larger characters. You can do it to the sandbag quite easily, though you can't see the percentage.

As Ankoku said, U-smash as three seperate hits. Tipper, and a slap on each side. My guess is he tries to move left or right but that knocked him back into the other slap.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Sadly I don't think you can force the triple hit, Im fairly sure it's DI dependant.

 

[RyokoYaksa]

The move has 3 distinct hitboxes but it can only hit up to 2 times, tipper then side. Does 30 uncharged and like 41 charged.

Oh, it is possible to deal a very lot of damage with it. I played my friend - ha took Zelda - and used an undecayed, uncharged USmash, and he got 40% damage. I recorded it, of course. But when I looked at it again, i saw that he had the very wrong DI^^

 

[Tezmata]

It's definitely possible to hit with all three hitboxes, just like you can with the D-Smash. Rare but possible. Just sayin'.
