Samus's "Trip"-Inducing Jab-Cancel: An Investigation

[n00b]

I noticed after watching my vid and Xyro's vid Samus can jab an opponent once and it will cause them to land flat on their ***, vulnerable for a slight moment at or near KO percents.

We should really look into this as Samus needs any option to KO. Here are some video examples:

This might not be as important as I think it could be, but it couldn't help to research. I don't know much about this game other than what's on the Samus boards so maybe another character board or the tactical discussion has already discussed this.

Any thoughts or experience on this?

i've been noticing that too. jab to dtilt is awesome to watch at high %. its got a "there is nothing you can do" feel to it. i've actually been using jab-dtilt and charge-dtilt as a kill setup whenever the first hit can pop them in the air

yeah this is not as useful as it could be :\ only thing i can do out of it is tech chase to grab or super missile, unless he rolls towards me.

Utilt and Dtilt seem like the safest kill moves, which is pretty sad.

As long as camping on the ledge isn't banned, gimpy d-airs will be fine? :[
