THERE IS NO MERCY IN THIS DOJO!!!

Jokes aside, I think the Palu boards are in need of a general combo thread is all, so I'm going to make one. Despite playing the game since launch I'm still unsure of the % for all characters so I'll generalize then into Floaty (Fl) or fast fall (Fa). I hope this thread will continue to grow with the Palutena community.

  • Basic combos
Jab > grab [DI] guaranteed
  • (Fl) 0~70%
  • (Fa) 30~90%
Jab > reflect [DI] guaranteed
  • (Fl) 0~70%

I hope this is useful for all who view the thread. If any more combos (modest reliability) pop up please share. (^_^)
[NOTE] more accurate %s later!

If you're standing right at the edge of battlefield facing in at very low percents, and simultaneously your opponent has a stroke and loses the part of their brain that knows what DI is, you can combo three nairs out of dthrow

Only tested on Mario so far, haven't tested on Dreamland; slightly higher platforms could make ot easier or could make it impossible.

Ah yes I almost forgot about this, it's easier to do on stages that have lower platforms because it makes ac nair easier, it works on all fast fallers and a few floaty characters. It is in fact harder to do on dream land because the platform height is higher and because whispy's wind box can mess you up.

I also got nair > nair > nair > up air to work before and it was a true combo (on Greninja) but I can only do it on battlefield, haven't tested miiverse

I have been messing around with the jab footstool tech. If you are thinking about doing it in a real match it would be wise to do a footstool option select. You basically want to jab, then immediately input 2 jumps, then attack, then special. If you get the footstool, then the attack input is overridden by the special input, and you will get the AR jab lock. If you miss the footstool, the attack button comes out first and you will get a neutral air instead. This will not only be a safer option than a missed AR, but it also catches the jump out option. The only downside is if you get the footstool and you're not fast enough pressing special, you'll do a neutral air instead. I still think it is worth it if you do go for it.

Another unrelated thing I want to mention is that Palutena's up air Autocancel frames are longer than the FAF. This means you still have landing lag when the move is over. As an example, if you full hop up air with Palutena, you can jump out before you land, but if you do nothing, you will have landing lag. Something you can do to combat this is to forward air right before you land. If you fair 3 frames before landing, you will autocancel it, and have no landing lag. If you land 4 frames or more, then you will have Fair landing lag instead which is much better than uair lag. It is the same concept a A landing but you avoid lag instead of avoiding a tech. Some application of this would be to double jump uair slightly above the height of a platform, land on the platform with a forward air, and continue the uair string. I have not tested whether it would be a true combo yet, but at least it will give you more of an advantage.

kmpyj made a video a long while back with some Palutena combos. It starts at 15:13. Just thought it was worth watching and possibly some can be added. Also, I think he said he didn't mean to put "AC" for certain parts or something like that. He probably meant something else.

I got the jab to footstool percents for the rest of the cast. Keep in mind that these are general percents and if you are fast enough, you may be able to footstool at earlier percents. I tested both AR and B reversed AR on these characters and it only worked on a few. The only practical ones are Olimar, Kirby, Jiggs, G&W, Bowser, and Corrin

Peach 80

Yoshi 78

Rosa 70

Zelda 80

Ganon 140

Palutena 93

Marth 90

Ike 110

Robin 93

Falco 140

Charizard 108 B reverse AR at 138

Dear Palutena mainer, dear Palutena players!

Sorry to post this but I need all of you.I think you all know of the counter problem with Lady Palutena. Thats why I prepared a video for you! I would develope more videos like that. Because of the counter bug its impossible to counter against the opponent. That can't be true!!!! In my opinion we should team upI My suggestion is that we write to Nintendo e-mails. What do you think?

Here is my video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kvWQmtvw9I

You can spread it in Youtube, Facebook, Miiverse (Palutena >SUPPORT< Community). I'm online to tell you that. I need all of you to reach this aim. Bayonetta was nerfed (edited) too!


Do you agree? Another suggestions?

You wanna call attention to that?
... Well, OK. Sure, I'll do anything.

I laughed like a crazy motherf*cker at that spike follow-up, that's just too funny lol.

Pit: "F*ck, that looked like it hurt from down he- I mean.... You all right?"
