Samus is Crouching during Uncharged Paralyzer Shot

[Supermodel From Paris]

This is new:

For some reason, Zero Suit Samus is considered to be crouching during the middle frames (not really sure when, something like 4 until it fires) of her uncharged Paralyzer Shot. Thus, while firing an uncharged Paralyzer Shot, you are immune to things like Falco's SHL and even a few grabs.

OMG METAGAYME!!

LOL yes, this is the kind of thing I would use for a wtf factor like 3-4 times a game (like my b reversal nB). It's just a crouch so it won't duck a standing laser, only crawl does that, but it's still useful since Falcos don't generally do silent lasers when they don't need to (against tall characters). Charging nB holds you in that position longer iirc

2:45 wasn't a grounded laser, that was the 2nd laser in a SHDL

So her hitbox is smaller vertically when tapping nB, then when it's charged?

Yes it makes no sense. Actually the game can tell really quickly whether or not you intent to charge it (there's only two levels).

I think I have like 4 videos of doing this lol
I thought this was common sense? and falco can just reflect after your Neutral B, more of a gimic

 

[Nefarious B]

Yeah that's why I said I'd use it like, 4-5 times a match. It's for when the falco is expecting a hit from the laser and charges right into our laser instead.

Doesn't charged laser duck it as well though? For longer even?

Both of them simply make your hitbox shorter. It's not some property of the move. Just hitbox displacement.

Like Bowser's fsmash.

When I charged it, my hurtbox became bigger, i'm pretty sure. Anyway, it seems this isn't new so I'll ask Dazwa to lock this thread. I didn't know!
