Raigoth Bomb -> Dair

[Rohins]

He did this to me in a wifi match a while ago that got DC'd by Nintendo (no replay >_<). Basically here's how it went:

- I was shielding near edge, he dropped a bomb.

- He crouched, canceled the bomb and immediately jumped. I'm still in shield.

- Bomb explodes, knocks me off the level and he caught me with a dair.

I messed around with it and it works even if they aren't shielding. Yes I know, lots of setup time that's the drawback. If you land it though (w/ decent %) you're probably getting a kill.

If this was mentioned a while back, I'm not trying to claim this. Raigoth did this to me, I'm just noting how awesome it was.

bombs are the **** for setting up dairs for sure.

 

[eMORAY21]

yeah agreed.

 

[0RLY]

You should've rolled when he dropped the bomb.

 

[Rohins]

You should've rolled when he dropped the bomb.

If I anticipated the setup, yeah. But rolling whenever a bomb is layed? That's very readable/punishable behavior.

 

[Gum]

yeah especiall if you are at the edge. Rolling towards the edge wouldn't get you anywhere, and rolling the other way is just painting yourself with a red target.

 

[0RLY]

Fine, then jump out of your shield and escape. Or, if he doesn't move from where the bomb has been laid, screw attack out of shield.

I only said to roll at first because I thought that jumping would set yourself up to be spiked anyways.

Yeah, it sounds cool and all, but it seems more like a silly mistake since it takes almost a whole second to set up the combo. That's four times longer than necessary to make a proper reaction.

Well given that now we know that it can work, it is worth considering, especially if you are doing it on purpose. could be used to force a reaction since there aren't that many that close to the edge that you wouldn't be able to read.

No one's forcing you to use it Like I said before, if you can't figure out how to make it work then leave it out of your game.
