Psi Magnet basic horizontal recovery

[Jihnsius]

Hasn't been pointed out yet and I thought I'd bring it up as it's situationally useful.

If you Psi Magnet shortly after falling, you'll stop the vertical momentum and retain horizontal, somewhat like Melee Marth's forward B. If you let it go as fast as possible (or B-Stick it) and wait a bit to regain vertical momentum, you can do it again to cancel that vertical momentum and keep the horizontal. In essence, you can do it as much as you want without losing horizontal momentum so long as you wait ~1/5th a second after letting it go. I'd estimate that if you do it from the top of the side of a stage you can probably get about 1.5x the distance you normally would from falling and holding a direction. Useful if you're hit out of your second jump high and far and don't want to PK Thunder back.

With B-sticking, you can also do a retreating PSImagnet.

Helps a **** tone combined with B-sticking PKFire.

With this, you can

Camp via PKFire->see that opponent is approaching with full jump->retreatingPSImagnet->repeat
Camp via PKFire->see that opponent is shielding a lot->advancing PSImagnet (like the OP said)->retreat

Yeah, but that has to do with modifying your forward momentum by interrupting it. I was referring to simply holding forward and then doing a Psi Magnet whilst moving towards the stage. There's no unexpected change in momentum, it just stalls your falling.
