Sing is a Taunt, Nothing More: Shocking Results

[Veril]

If I could get rid of any of Jigglpuff's moves and replace them... God why would a move so terrible even be programed into the game. WHY?! "screams at the sky"

Anyway, we should clearly be exploring its use as a taunt.

USES FOR SING:
-Short hopped taunt.

O.o what about an OOS taunt?

Sing is a bigger fail than tripping.

I said it.

Everyone can trip, but only jiggly can sing.

Tripping>sing for suck teir.

Sing is the best taunt, silly gooses. Do you know how disheartening for your foes it is to hear their enemy singing them to sleep? It enrages them. They lose all heart to keep playing. They drop the controller, and say "even his taunts beat me, what use am I?!"

Keep singing, jigglaroos. Some day the latent capabilities of rest will reveal themselves.

yeah thats what we get instead of just tripping we get sing

"coughs"

I hope you mean the latent abilities of sing...

The latent abilities of rest are sorta known by most Jiggs mains.


So I guess this means no more sing discussion.

Yeah. And I really don't think sing is worthwhile enough. I wish it was but we seem to have two completely worthless moves.

At least we've gotten it out of the way and know not to use them

On the other hand we did find out that up-tilt was better than we thought.

My response to this entire thread can be summarized in I hate you.

But I guess this is good transition, since I recently found out some interesting stuff with jabs.

And some depressing info with sing, to be completely honest I was about to report this failure.
What I didn't account for in my trials was that you can push more than one button while asleep. That sounds like the dumbest thing to forget, right? but my method forced me to use two controllers, on a shaky wii, with tap to jump on in 1/4th time.

clearly the implementation of more than one button is sing's undoing, and I discovered this aggravating tidbit about two days ago before I sent off my Wii.

So yes, we might as well consider sing as a cool taunt. Unfortuneately even U taunt is better, since you become two dimensional at one point and any move that doesn't touch the ground misses.

At this point I'm thinking

Taunts<Sing<Dtilt<Utaunt<real moves.

of course now that I've gone and sent my wii away for repairs, so work with jab won't begin until... well... it comes back.

DIBS!!

you would think sing's sound waves would reach farther then they do

Yeah I know. And sorry Rhed....

 

[M-WUZ-H3R3]

Marth and Ike can counter sing

 

[Seagull Joe]

[Miles.]

This thread was made before that.

This just got bumped up by M-Cancel though.

The thing is there is no reason the explore it. Your opponent should never be above 200% and if they are, its two risky a game at that point to be using sing or not worth it.

Don't know about you, but I always implied that Sing had some kind of brokeness to it. I love how long it lasted in 64, plus how you could slide half a mile while doing it.

I still suspect there to be a way to either move while singing or a way to cancel it. I just wish for more exploration of the move, 'cause no one really looked deep into it.

...And I'm starting to like using Sing as the opponent hits the floor, if they fail to tech or use their get-up attack in time. Seriously, it's like they have no chance to attack, and if you get hit, you only take a small % of damage. ...Still punishable if they tech or you miss ~_~

please let this thread die. It's fundamental point is now wrong.
