Pivot Canceling wat

[Liquid Gen]

Everyone knows about pivot canceling in Brawl. You run, you turn around, and do whatever.

I never really thought this was useful for much, but then I started to screw around with it.

An example of simple pivot canceling is this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ja5u...e=channel_page

That's a pivot canceled forward smash.

But here's a more tempting idea.





Bowser's utilt hits on he ground behind him, correct? His utilt is also a kill move/decent juggler.

Utilt can be done from a dash, and still hit.


When Bowser pivots, he turns around (obviously), and that is perfect for his utilt.

The utilt can be done almost immediately out of the pivot animation, thus a pseudo dashing utilt.

As shown by the posted video, utilt is not the only move possible. Pretty much any grounded move is possible but I found utilt to be the most effective and applicable.



I'm sure this is fairly common sense, though I felt I should post to inform the uninformed.

The thing is, it takes fairly long for Bowser's uptilt to actually reach the ground. At least, long enough so the opponent can see you coming and shield.

True, but this is more suited towards an anti aerial approach; as in, more effectively using utilt for its intended purpose.

This is also to be used for a surprising kill; i've used it on occasion.

However, definitely not to be spammed.

The fac...

Malformed ID my ***. If you can look for it, it's posted by Ninjalink, "Bowser is o_o" or something to that effect. Seems youtube isnt working for links today..

Yea Video Didn't work for me either.

Bowser's Pivots Could Created a whole New Foundation for Bowser Play.
I was Messing with this also and In some very difficult way u can make Bowser Slide Foward while doing
a Standing grab Animation.

The up tilt Seems more useful though and maybe easier to do. Why didn't i think of that.....

 

[Liquid Gen]

The pivots are pretty cool... What I should try next is with specials. So far all I've tried is tilts, etc. Dtilt is okay, but you're going to have to reverse yourself from the pivot which takes a little longer to execute. Also, how far is the grab range slide?

 

[DeactoVater]

I think it Varys for How Well you do it. I remember Going About as far a Bowser Dashing Grab Animation.

Imagine Bowser Bomb Dashing lol would be sick

Do u use Special Control settings to do it with tilts

 

[Liquid Gen]

I do, but it isn't impossible to do it without. That is, if your fingers are gentle enough to not jump or upsmash.

 

[Phiddlesticks]

If these things do work, they are probably performed using the same method as Squirtle's shellshifting stuff.

This is really weird for me because I was actually just screwing around with this in training mode this morning seeing who got a boost in their standing grabs (I could only get a boost with Bowser, DK, Diddy, MK and Yoshi, and it doesn't look very useful :x).

I'll see what I can do for other moves and such when I'm bored later on tonight

 

[B!squick]

Oh yeah, I've seen that video before. But as said in the previous thread, wifi only for me and I can't see this being done on there.

 

[Liquid Gen]

^ This doesn't require an extreme amount of tech skill... You turn around and utilt. I do it all the time online.
