Psi Magnet - not just for stalling

[xoxokev]

Here's a situational yet practical use for Psi Magnet when you're off stage
may or may not be known...

Questions? Comments?

EDIT: can be super useful against characters with off stage wall of pains

 

[1337-Zero]

Seems useful, I'll try it later today.

Killing MK is fun.

Known, and there aren't too many instances where this will mean the difference between having to use PKT2 or not....

If you want to put yourself in 47 frames of lag to turn around, it had better be against someone who can't beat the fair, can't get to you in those 47 frames (3 frames less than a SH's total duration), and will lose to the bair, and you have to be sufficiently close to not lose your opportunity to jump back to the stage (not edge) even without 47 frames of drifting towards it.

There may not be many instances where you will be able to use this at all. I said it was situational in the first sentence, but if you do use it correctly, it will be useful

 

[PK Starstorm]

i use this to recover all the time. you get a nice drift back to the stage when you do this, and then can still dj or pkt2

 

[Uffe]

I lol'd at the ending. Anyway, you can do this without B-reversal.

 

[Psymon]

Would be awesome for edge-guarding with a B-air =)

 

[PMKNG]

I'm too lazy to put on my wii, but how are you reversing it? Its simply turning right before doing the psi magnet right? again, lazy to turn on my wii to play around with it

 

[xoxokev]

What do you mean? Or maybe I just worded it wrong and it's not technically b-reversed...

@PKMNG: I press down+B and immediately move my control stick to either the 7 or 5 o'clock position

 

[Uffe]

Nevermind. I see what you're doing. It just reminded me of the video I made.

 

[mydadsacop123]

speaking of psi magnet, I kno its wind effect is gud for pushing items away, would it be a quick way to get gyros off the stage?

A quicker way would be to just pick it up and chuck it offstage. If you're afraid you might get hurt while it's still spinning, I think using neutral air near it should do just fine... I think.

If you're doing doubles and your partner is ROB, you can use PSI Magnet after he throws it to make it go supa fast.

 

[Uffe]

It's funny because fighting Stealth Raptor's R.O.B., whenever he used his Gyro, I'd always release my PSI Magnet and the wind effect would push it back towards him.

PSI Magnet is also useful for absorbing energy attacks

You lie.

 

[FireKirby7]

I use this when Lucas is facing the wrong way and I'm trying to recover with Rope Snake.
So how is PSIM useful against WoPs? PSIM takes a while to start up.

if you predict a WoP coming, and youre facing the wrong way, use this to turn around and fair...

 

[_clinton]

To be fair...even with those 47 frames of lag...the wind effect can serve you sometimes...its fun punishing laggy moves...

 

[Shaky]

I perform the "turnaround Magnet" quite often, but not for recovery purposes. I usually do it to get in a better position for my next attack.

 

[Lizard]

Good in some instances, but i just have vsions of DDD's bairs coming right throug the lag time.

 

[thesage]

Personally I use pk flash for this sort of thing. I'm just that good lmao.

 

[jorge199494]

I don't see why this would be helpful in any situation.

 

[Dajayman]

Not too useful, but I think fair is a better way of coming back than bair. Also what FireKirby said with Lucas is very true, but Ness has no tether recovery (*wants yoyo tether* ).

 

[deepseadiva]

I highly enjoyed MK's comments on the matter.

 

[Irsic]

Fox can do this with his down-B as well.

That's probably the best known aerial stall. Although I'd much rather have a Fox fair when recovering. Glad he has that.

 

[Uffe]

People say they've been doing this with Ness even before Fox from Brawl. If that's true, I never seen it and if anything, I adopted that idea after seeing a Fox user do this. Just to let you guys know, I'm not saying I made this up.

 

[Gaussis]

If only there was a video with PSI magnet boosting. I don't know how it's done but Ness can PSI magnet boost (small distance compared to Lucas, but something nonetheless)...

I'll try my best to find it, but no guarantees.
If we had a magnet boost as far as Lucas, maybe we'd get more respect.

 

[Gaussis]

We have a small boost but idk how to do it. I thought it was a b-reversed PSI magnet and I used to do it before, but not consistently. I need more input on this because I'm not sure.

 

[Lizard]

Video would be appreciated, for i have never heard of Ness getting that kind of boost.

 

[_clinton]

Its based off your current air movement speed...I know how to use the boost...

It has nothing to do with PKT2 silly.
