I also do it that way. Move my finger down from R/Z and press A with the side of it, like I would to hold Y to float with Peach and c-stick aerials with my thumb. Works fine and I get to keep all my buttons =P

 

[KayB]

I was unaware that Z + A converts to a smash attack.


What the hell it took me nine tries to post this one sentence. When is smashboards going to be fixed

 

[Kally Wally]

I'm pretty sure posts get eaten because this thread has over 2000 pages. I've never had any other thread eat a post.

Maybe that's a sign that we should retire this thread and start a new one?

 

[SpiderMad]

Nah it's just the do you really want to make this post check

Like do I really want to make this post?

What about now?

 

[HyperrCrow]

Spider, I was looking for you all over the IRC earlier wanted to play some online, but it's a bit late here now.

I made a quick vid about DACUS, Glide Toss, Boost Item Toss, and Boost Grabs because some people had questions and such about DACUS recently.

Fastest Dash Attack is C-Stick Down. C-Stick Forward during the first 3 frames of Dash will make you F-Smash.

3 frame jumpers cannot DACUS
4 frame jumpers have a 1 frame window to input DACUS and must use Attack
5 frame jumpers have a 2 frame window to input DACUS and can use Attack or Grab
etc

As for why attack is better to use than grab, the boost grab window is 3 frames. The earliest boost smash can be input is frame 3 (frame 1 inputting attack to do dash attack, frame 2 releasing attack, frame 3 inputting u-smash), and ends 1 frame before the length of their jump startup attribute (you're not actually jumping; it's just what the input window variable uses). When you try to boost smash on frame 3 using grab button you'll get a boost grab instead, but using attack button you'll boost smash. Frames 4+ will work with either button. Using attack instead of grab is the only way to boost smash with 4 frame jumpers (works on frame 3 with attack), and 5 jumpers you're doubling the input window by using attack instead of grab (3-4 with attack vs 4 with grab).

Boost Grab (Dash Attack Canceled Grab) is a 2 frame window.


Glide Toss is a 4 frame window


Boost Item Toss is a 2 frame window. Must input Up and Attack or Grab on frame 3 or 4 respectively.

This is amazing.

 

[standardtoaster]

did you really have to quote it haha

 

[Yung Mei]

quiet you .

 

[trash?]

I don't ever care about fancy-pants DACUS executions, because with how I play, I have my R button set to attack at all times anyways, get wrecked nerdlords

on the other hand I'm the person who jumps with A so maybe I shouldn't be arguing here

 

[DMG]

You use the biggest god damn button on the controller to jump?

 

[trash?]

y = attack
x = special
a = jump
b = grab
z = footstool
r = attack (again)

you can kinda just roll your thumb to do certain techniques w/ b moves like optimizing shines, it's gud

 

[metroid1117]

did you really have to quote it haha

Yes, because that way it doesn't get lost .

y = attack
x = special
a = jump
b = grab
z = footstool
r = attack (again)

Wow, and I thought my controls were weird.

I'm getting a headache trying to simulate this in my head.

I hope my precious precious posts are all preserved, including this one

Gotta get my important post in the social thread before it gets closed!... umm... uh...

Sonic sucks m i rite!?

Whew, that was close.

I still feel ashamed about the audio quality of that Code Geass .brstm.




Seventh attempt to post.

Just a reminder that one day you will be obsolete, even if the level 9's in PM aren't responsible.

[metroid1117]

For what it's worth, Ike's Boost Item Throw (aka Boost Toss aka DACIT) is huge.

EDIT: Wow, first try for once.

 

[Comeback Kid]

This is what happens when you don't memory wipe your A.I. every few years.

I was wondering for over a month why posting was such a pain.

You use the biggest god damn button on the controller to jump?

I have a similar control setup that I'm trying to get accustomed to because it is genuinely better than the default, but it super hard to learn because of 12 years of playing Melee.

B Special
A Jump
X Shield
Y Attack
L Footstool
R Shield
Z Grab
C-Smash

Waveshining is as easy as doing a downward stick waggle while sliding from B to X, while SHDL is similarly a shorter thumb movement.

It isn't "Having the biggest button the controller" set to jump. It's having the button closest to all the other buttons set to the function with the most utility and that interacts most with other functions.

 

[Oro?!]

DMG you fiend! I see you are trying to take a stealthy 9K approach to liking every comment. How many pages have you made it into this thread? 5?! 10?!?!??! You better watch yourself, because Im onto you...

looks nice but what are the inputs?..

I KNEW IT!!!
You should just close this thread and make a new one that links to this one, imo...

@Hylian: the real reason i don't post in this thread is that every time i try it takes me a full day to do it...

 

[Hylian]

I have no problems posting in this thread >_>.

 

[Kink-Link5]

looks nice but what are the inputs?..

Glide Toss: Roll, throw in any direction during the roll's start up to cancel the rolling animation but not the momentum it grants.

Boost Smash: Dash attack, U-smash in a frame window determined by your characters JumpSquat.

Boost Grab: Dash attack, Grab " " " " " " " " ".

Boost Throw: Dashing Item throw, Upward Item Throw " " " " " " " " ".


Oh, and if the momentum delay gets fixed, it is very possible that all of these techniques are going to be nerfed as a side effect.

 

[standardtoaster]

if the quotes mean those are also determined by the jumpsquat, you're wrong. i have the frame windows in my post already

You're saying the Boost Throw isn't using a Dash attack?

You mean that could kill DACUS and stuff?

 

[standardtoaster]

boost throw is from a running item toss not a dash attack

 

[Kink-Link5]

You're saying the Boost Throw isn't using a Dash attack?

It's a foreseeable consequence, but I'm not saying it would cause that effect for sure.

I think I only did it to the first 2 pages of the thread LOL. You would figure the first page would be spammed by them but no, usually just my lone like + guy.

 

[NightShadow6]

Well now that 9 people are trying to post.

 

[hotdogturtle]

This thread is legendary. I wish we could just use better software instead of having to close it because it's too popular.

 

[GunBlaze]

It is an interesting source of knowledge that must be passed on...

 

[DMG]

I would only pass on like 100 posts in this thread to the future generations, the majority being Eli's, Umbreon's, and mine.

Also, I generally have trouble posting in the thread if I get here from an alert. If there's anything besides the thread number/page in the URL bar, it freaks out and drops posts so often. Happens much less if I come into the thread "cleanly". Also if a post fails, I try to add another letter at least to make it a different message when you resend. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. The jank is strong in this thread.

Wow, that wouldn't embody the spirit of the thread. Sounds like that'd just be.. insightful information, which isn't what made this thread great at all.

My list doesn't do a justice either (also forgetting lots of people, we miss you cannedbread)
