I wasnt sure where to put this, so I put it here :/ I wanted to make a tech skill video with Kirby, since I consider myself a very technical player. I know Kirby isnt a technical character, but that is the very reason I made this.

I really need to try the footstool to Down B. That seems really cheap but amazing.

I like the video. It has some nice little tricks and gives a little show of how kirby can move around.

That footstool to down b is sexy. I'm going to practice that and try it out on my friends.

I really like that little trick on distance planet at 1:41. It will be very useful for recovering. Does that work on any other stage?

I need to add footstools to my game. >_>

Is that footstall down-b actually viable? Looks crazy good, if a bit hard to do, and really frustrating for your opponents. Have you pulled it off in any actual game?

Ive never pulled it off against actual players, but have pulled it off against level 9s. Im sure you cannot actually get like 30%+ to death with that tho, but a few times are viable imo. It was mainly their to show the tech skill... not sure if any of those combos actually work or not. But Kirby's rock is really good imo, no one really uses it for punishes, it can easily be comboed into certain things like hammer at mid-high %s. Pretend the ones on Fox and DK only was the last footstool rock, that is an actual combo im sure since I get that on people and computers all the time.

It works on distant planet, the hazard stage part of Halberd, and battlefield... but the battlefield one is way hard to pull off while the other ones I can do pretty consistently. Its a Brawl tech that a lot of Kirbies discovered theorizing that it happens if the stage has like some sort of lip on it... im not exactly sure if its true or not. It might work on all stages, im just not sure.

Double Post lmao.

 

[roman5hero]

how do you do that trick? i would like to do my own studies into where it works and doesnt. ( the up-b edge trick)

Awesome, thanks for the response, will try implementing the down-b to hammer as a punish, it's only viable vs fast fallers/big characters?

There is like a sweetspot where it cancels the up-b on the edge of the stage or something, i dont really know why it works... it just does. To do it you need to start your up-b at a pretty precise location right next to the ledge. Its hard to do at first, but after a while it gets pretty easy.

Fast fallers and big characters can get hit by a grounded hammer while everyone else get hit by a Double-Jump Aerial hammers that can easily kill at certain %s. I dont remember the exact %s, but i remember I did a Rock > Double Jump > Sweetspot Aerial Hammer on Puff around 50-60% and it killed in the middle of FD.

It's an old thread, but you can find some information about the "Up-B Trick" mentioned above here: http://smashboards.com/threads/tele-stepping-at-least-if-thats-what-you-call-it.249828/#post-8457754
It links to a thread concerning things like, "Scarring", "Light-Stepping", and "Tele-Stepping", with Tele-stepping being the thing Kirby does when he instantly cancels the Up-B. Of note, most characters can cancel Up-Bs in that way, just not all of them get benefits from doing so.
Hope this helps,

This has been really informative on ways I can change up my movement, and that footstool Bair is interesting, sure it wont work as good on real players but it would totally bring the hype!

 

[InfamousLuffy]

What is a footstool?

 

[Tomoya Okazaki]

What is a footstool?

It's when your opponent is in there falling animation and you jump on them and they fall faster (not sure if that is the explanation but I hope it helps)

Im surprised this is still getting comments lol, that video was made by me way to quick imo. My movement and stuff is better and more consistant than that. On top of that, all the other movement tricks i discovered like moonwalking, SH Cutter Dash > jump waveland onto platform, or like running sheild drop nairs and such.
