Platform cancelling spin dash

[Pheonix]

Due to the emptying of the Sonic boards, I'm not sure if this has been posted or not.

I'm sure most of you know about platform cancelling your jump into shield on smashville's platform. After messing around with it a bit, the same can be done with Sonic's spin dash AND his spin charge. Both when on the ground, and when jumping out of them (SDR and SDJ.)

The timing is tricky but given the speed of Sonic's roll and this new speed he can stop the roll, it can make a deadly combination.

Also i think this is possible on Lylat Cruise and Yoshi's Island as well (but only when the platform is moving.)

Yeah, it's old news. You can do it with VSDJ as well.

What ways do you guys cancel the spins, anyways? I actually use c-stick down. Feels most comfortable, but if there's an "easier" way, I'm more than open to the idea.

Control Stick down for me. I never liked the idea of Dair PCs. I've been working on getting the timing down consistently. It's so hard to time with Sonic because he's in a ball.

I need a new controller for this new technology you guys found.

i just use the control stick. Its what I like using.

@ Espy: You know long time ago when you did the nair lock testing vs ROB? did you ever try just ff AD right at the apex of the FS to buffer jab? It seems to work if you do it just right. that may just be me though.

I think it depends how high you footstool ROB. If you footstool him high, you might be able to catch up with FF and jab him. If you're not high enough, he'll hit before you can FF far enough. And of course he'll escape if you're too high.

yeah thats what im getting around here. even the low one seems REALLY close if you time the ff perfectly. Thatd be awesome if that worked cuz then we would have a true infinite on ROB

control stick down for me

Spoiler

though I mostly platform cancel when im ike since his is alittle easier

Shield, then control stick down. Instantly makes me drop through the platform as I hit it.

The input is almost like you're buffering a spotdodge.

Theoretically Sonic could have the same application..? Spindash > footstool > platform cancel drop > sourspot nair > jablock ...too situational to be useful. But it's still a nice thought.

its easier for us though because of the height we can footstool at in imo. Although I love when u platform cancel during SDJ and the opponent just falls on the platform. That jab lock is too funny. Itd be tight to be consistent with the spindash FSJ PCD jab lock though. My brawl time is stacked with Nair testing and write ups for other boards lol.
