Possible new technique

[rse]

Uh... first post ever. Here we go.



OK, I was trophy hunting for the bosses in SSE when I chose Snake to fight those siamese twin robots on the deck of the Halberd. I used him and threw a grenade.

Thinking that I could get the grenade to explode as they moved closer, I fired a Nikita missile straight forward. It did explode, however but the missile actually "jumped" (it was still on-screen) and I was able to cancel it and drop it on them.


"Missile Jumping"?


On training mode however, I used a weak throw for the grenade, rolled away, and fired the missile. I guided it a bit and canceled it then was able to drop it on the CPU.

Later I found out that you can actually "combo" with it at higher percents (around 100% or so). Requires some timing that, the grenade explodes just as the missile gets close to it.

So, the grenade explodes, launching the foe up, then the missile hits them, with lolwhatalot of knockback, effectively KOing them.

edit: I have tried this on both a Dedede and Pit CPU (at 100% damage) on FD, and it works!



Yay/nay?

hmm. are you trying to say that the nikita moves in a different direction, cause it does when it's hit by explosions/other projectiles/maybe some shields/attacks. it doesn't really matter if the nikita jumps or not cause you can just aim it upwards.


i don't think its a specific technique. i guess it's a good fundamental combo for snake (Launch move follow with nikita)

uh... well combo then.

meh.

actually yeah it moves up diagonally without having to control it there, which would take longer, I think.

hmm, wouldnt this combo take a while to set up and ur opponent probly smart enough wont go into it...

 

[DrakeFreedom]

i agree with zeionut but that might be useful in certain situations

I know wut he is talking bout. its more of an accident. if someone attacks or sheilds the nikita it jumps up. but if you cancel it quickly you can damage your opponent

 

[Depressed Man]

If any projectile or shield hits the Nikita it changes direction. I usually just cancel it by that point but your right, it could have some uses.

MINDGAMES SON.

Yeah, this will take out some Boozer or unlucky Joe who tries to cancel out your nade and missle.
