For everybody who already knows about this yo, you all rock hard core, wish I had heard about it sooner hahaha, :laugh: for those who don't I hope you can find this kinda useful.

Basically it's a running down+b for zss... In other words, you can run directly into your down+b.

I found it difficult to pull off a down+b consistently whenever I'd get into a dash. That's usually because in the middle of the dash I'd usually dash forward and then try to enter down+b.... but unfortunately instead of executing her down + b zss will stop in place as though you tried to do something you weren't susposed to. :p Either that or you'd have to wait for her screech-to-a-halt animation to finish and then do down+b, but that wasn't a really smooth transition.

But anywho's, it actually can be pulled off consistently with zss... instead of running and entering down+b, instead in the midst of your dash sweep your control stick to down+b. For example, start a dash to the right. With your control stick held to the right, sweep to down-right and then down + b. Pretty simple, though it has to be done kinda fast.

This can be useful in a number of ways I'm sure you'll see once you try it... Like, dashing towards the opponent and suddenly down+b'ing in the opposite direction. Anywho's peace out everybody, hope this is helpful to somebody :p

Dash>Down+B is the only thing I ever use my C-stick for because I am notorious for screwing it up otherwise. It's got a 100% success rate.

LOL cool, I guess it must be instinct for most of us... I'm pretty certain though, you have to sweep to down+b to use it straight from a dash, maybe somebody could verify this? I don't THINK it's my controller, but who knows :p

Using the C-stick to get a down+b straight out of a dash? Is that using customized buttons or something? Never tinkered around with that but hm, I'd probably have found out sooner if I tried :p

I have C-stick set to special.

It's not that it's exceptionally difficult to run straight into a Down+B, but it is possible to mess it up.
