Well, Snake and Wario benefit in both. I don't know how good Lucas' DACUS is in vBrawl, but I know it's really good in P:M.

Player-1 does Brawl Diddy's BDACUS with two C-Stick inputs.

Is a BDACUS a Gatling Combo?

 

[Yung Mei]

i dont even think lucas had a dacus in brawl

 

[#HBC | Joker]

every character can technically DACUS in Brawl. It's just that a lot of characters don't really get a benefit from it. In fact, some characters get less distance from DACUS than they do from running Usmash.

Like, I know you can do a DACUS input with Ike, but because the begining of his DA is the same as his Dash, it ends up beign the same.

 

[bubbaking]

I think Marth's DACUS is actually shorter than his running usmash in vBrawl.

 

[Internalyzed]

Captain Falcon's DACUS is also shorter than his running usmash in vBrawl.

 

[standardtoaster]

The only way your Ivysaur will ever be soft enough is if you choose to throw away your solar beam in order to heal with Standard B more.

Then you truly will be a soft champion.

what the heck do you mean by soft

 

[leelue]

the opposite of going hard.
You know, kink, I have been thinking about doing that in matchups where I can sit back and relax aka almost all of them.

i should clarify, i meant that i dont think lucas had a useful dacus lmao

I don't know specifically, but whenever I use Lucas l always do running usmash. I think his DACUS was pretty butt in vBrawl.

I honestly did not know you could still DACUS in PM. I may have to start doing it.

 

[Internalyzed]

You can still DACUS, but I think the timing's a bit tighter, and it's less useful for certain characters because of friction changes and the like. For example, Snake's DACUS doesn't go as far, nor is it as easy to perform as in vBrawl IMO.

 

[bubbaking]

Most DACUS's are more difficult than they were in vBrawl because of lack of buffer and whatnot. It was much easier to do a DACUS from a standing position in vBrawl. Usually when I want to do it in P:M, I have to get a little bit of a running start. I find that it's good for TCs, especially when you're below a plat that the opponent is teching on, and catching rolls, especially with chars who have longer lasting usmashes (Ganon, Lucas) or usmashes that cover themselves (Snake). Snake still has one of the longest DACUS's in the game and it's still useful for getting to the ledge quickly for an edgeguard and a lot of the other stuff it was good for in vBrawl.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I do not have PM, all I've had is vBrawl. Only ever played PM at my buddy's house.

Literally just picked up a 2GB SD card tho, so now I just need 2.5 to come out and it'll be fun times!

Hype

Is a BDACUS a Gatling Combo?

No, it's a DACUS that is buffered, allowing the U-Smash to cover a greater distance than would otherwise be possible.

Sheik is an exception to the rule, though.

As is Fox. His BDACUS doesn't gain any more distance over his running up smash, but his DACUS does.

Reflex I assume you're trying to do it with wario. His has pretty tight timing. Also, the timing for canceling into the upsmash is different for all characters, so just mess around until you get it. What method do you use?

I normally set my R to Attack and do Dash -> C-Stick Down -> Up+R. I've tried Z, A, and all these other methods people mention, but it doesn't seem to help.

Seeing as how I've messed with this non-stop for almost an hour just now, I figured it would be good to ask around instead of just accepting that I'm destined to be bad in PM. >_>

There you go.

 

[Oracle]

Sorry didn't see that one haha. I guess just keep trying to do it faster. When I learned it with wario i would just do the inputs faster each time I messed up.

 

[9Kplus1]

It may just be how you mentally prioritize hitting R when performing DACUS. Whenever I use claw + C-stick + A method -- super easy to shift from that position to neutral again, btw -- I tend to find more success when bashing my finger down on A. It might just be psychological, but by pinpointing where the bunt of the failures is and subsequently placing a bit of thought into that process -- giving it a bit of extra physical attention, in my case -- could substantially increase the success rate of a certain tech.

This post is yes.

I could never get the hang of cstick only DACUS. I always did :stick6:, stick2:, :stick8:+:zbutton: in rapid succession. I could almost tell beforehand whether I'd get the DACUS or not.

Is anyone streaming right now?

 

[TheReflexWonder]

Magus helped me figure it out--I was doing it too fast, because PM registers light presses of R rather than the full click.

I got it.

 

[bubbaking]

Lolz, am I the only person who often (but not always) does the DA with forward on the C-stick for a DACUS?

 

[standardtoaster]

I do it that way

 

[himemiya]

Its that time already?

 

[Stunts]

you mean Saturdazee?
That's tommorrow

I actually thought this might be the case, but wasn't sure if triggers set to anything but shield used light presses.

Actually, I will not be streaming tomorrow. I'm unfortunately busy >~<

Instead, go check out http://twitch.tv/freesaltines to watch Eli, Leelue, and Gurukid play Project M 2.5 on Saturapes

You might want to avoid that nickname in case anyone else misinterprets it >.>.

 

[Life]

Saturtines? Eliturday? Already have the stream up so I don't forget to watch tomorrow. Like a boss.

 

[Internalyzed]

Will also be watching the stream.

 

[Hylian]

I claw to dacus. Don't even know how to do it with z lol.

I can't see it...

So does the pmbr actually have some sort of a schedule for updates, like do they have it planned out? Or are they just releasing updates whenever they feel like it?

 

[Internalyzed]

Probably the latter, as they haven't really stuck to any schedule afaik. The only confirmed update as of now is the release of demo v2.5 on December 28, 2012.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

They update when they feel like it. If they have something that's ready to be added, they let us know, but it's not like there's any need to rush it. They aren't getting paid to work on it, and they won't make money when it's released. So why would they make a longterm schedule to put pressure on themselves?

 

[McNinja]

Aight yeah that makes sense. I'm not upset or anything. I was just legitamately curious. I wonder how many more updates there will be though considering the release date is so close...

 

[#HBC | Joker]

at the very least, there's still another Roster addition left to be announced. Can't imagine there's anything else though, since it's only about another week away.

 

[Perfect Chaos]

There's the final character announcement as well as an Aesthetics Pt.2, so there will be at least two more. If we're lucky, they'll surprise us with a third update with something great!

 

[drsusredfish]

If samus gets to keep her taunt transform does ZSS get to keep the suit piece items from that taunt? That'd be a nice reward for pulling it off in a fight.
