Roy F-Smash Jab Lock?

[~Daniee]

I was watching a Roy Combo video, and I saw BKG (the dude who posted it) Jab Lock DK with the sourspot of F-Smash, as can be seen in the gif below.

Interesting, I wonder if it true combos... I will have to test it out.

If you are talking about f-throw to jab lock f-smash, it won't true combo, because from my experience, training mode won't say true combo if you could have teched. Assuming you were planning on using training mode.

Fthrow > Sourspot Bair can also lock people at low percents.

looking at the video, it seems that it doesn't work. It looks like there is to much Lag on the Fsmash to combo into anything.

Dang, I really wanted a Jab Lock that is easier to do than RAR Bair out of F-throw.

It could be, it might just be miss timing on his part.

Yeah we've known of it since day 1. Fsmash sour locks at very low percents. This is more useful in application after a fair or bair on a platform that pratfalls your opponent though. Generally, bair is a better option for locking though, and honestly it IS easier to land then sour fsmash.. For example, fthrow into failed tech into bair sour to lock, then you can hit with a semi charged fsmash. See here from one of my own videos.

This doesn't have to start from a throw either, just from any untechable situation.

For the record, that guy is wrong, you can "combo" after a fsmash lock, but only quick stuff like a dash grab etc.
