A nifty thing I found, if not already verified. Shield Breaker Recovery when fully charged slides or plants upon landing...

When Tap Jump is [ON] landing will slide depending on distance and momentum (upon landing) Marth has (much like Ike's Quick Draw when initiated in line with a platform)

When Tap Jump is [OFF] Marth will simple plant where he lands

Discuss? if its not been already found. I'm 99% sure this is the effect of Shield Breaker... Someone with more experience can vouch or negate this claim. Thanks

Wow that's pretty cool... Too bad its not enough reason for me to put tap jump to on though.


Figure out a way to temporarily put "tap jump" on mid game :) Wouldn't surprise me if they allowed this

I pretty much never played with tap jump on at any point of having brawl...

I'm pretty certain that I've done this 'sliding' thing before in that state. I don't even do it consciously though.

Every marth should have tap jump on. NO EXCUSES

I put Jump to L trigger since I'm left-handed and therefore use R-trigger to shield. Turned tap jump off, can do Utilt whenever, however, and still do Dolphin Slash out of shield and the controls incidentally work very well with Toon Link too.

A better alternative with no loss on my part. Heh. <_<

Discovery is nice, but I don't feel it gives me as much of a benefit. That's my opinion anyway. Shield Breaker as a recovery is situational anyway and I rarely get to land on the ground with it and live.

Why put 10metaknights if you're over the 10 character minimum?
Because I can. I know that's why people put variations of the 10char on their post, but have no valid justification to do so except the fact that I like to do so.

Mmkay?

Interesting discovery, but I'm not turning tap jump on. I never wanna risk jumping instead of uptilting or upairing.

Same here. The shieldbreaker recovery is much too situational for me to mess with Marth's godly uptilt.

I hope you guys have an alternative to up b'ng out of shield like Vietgeek. That is too good to pass up. Utilting isn't exactly hard with tap jump on either, its just like melee.
