I'm still keen on Fingerbang, but Sliding Fingerbang isn't bad.

Rack your brains everone, we've got an AT to name.
Slice - "I have to practice Slicing more."
Streak - "This guy was Streaking all over the place."
Z-Walk or Z-Smash - "My, you're pretty good at Z-Walking."
Fingerbang - "You just got Fingerbanged in the FACE!!!"
Drift or Drift Smash - "Drifting is a new AT"
Z-Gliding - "Pivot Z-Gliding is also useful when chased."

wow it slides longer than i though x)
Very very nice find, i'm gonna train on its weird timing. Useable or not, it looks very bad***.

If Drifting sounds good, i still prefer fun names for luigis moves (shoryuken ftw) but wario copyrighted death fingers so yeah, fingerbanger's gonna be part of my kill arsenal from now on :laugh:

This deserves to be in locuans thread. Vidz would be nice. I just need to know how to do it lol. How hard's the timing? I keep doing a dash attack instead -.-
Yes, and your discussing a name for the move? How about wavefsmash? lol It kinda looks like the wavedash>Fsmash from melee but not at that length. I don't know really out of ideas when you decide on a name for the move I'll add it to the thread.

So update it in your thread locuan (omg i can spell ur name nows lolz) xD I'll still going down with fingerbang although people will go wtf at that lol.

Actually found out a decent setup but really isn't setup. Since it involves walking, just throw a spaced fireball and and walk to sliding fingerbang. Or as wigi said earlier, when your retreating from ppl from like snake, walking away to a pivot fingerbang should do nice mindgame and kill.

Is it just me, but when I was praticing how to do sliding fsmash, when you walk, has anyone noticed that you gain a little distance when you grab? Like walking > Grab = Increased grab distance? Anyone noticed it when you made your sliding fingerbang mistakes? :/

Hmmm. Well if you guys consider this an AT, then maybe the AT is being able to do smashes or grabs (or maybe b attacks if you b-stick) while moving, not just doing an f-smash

possible ex: luigi vs. character and character is at 100+ %, luigi starts walking, does sliding f-smash, character dies. once again character reaches 100+ %, luigi starts walking, character shields, luigi grabs > either back throw for power, front throw for off-stage setups, or downthrow to lead into combos.

not really sure about those kind of mindgames but its a possibility

edit: I found another possible set-up using luigi's traction. If luigi does a sliding jab (only first hit) from full walking speed, he will slide far enough that if hit at about the very edge of the first jab's range, luigi will jab, and end up right in up-b'ing range. Of course there are other things you can do out of that jab, since people will eventually powershield the up-b. Useful? (sigh, if only luigi could hit outside of metaknight's sword range or DDD's grab range)

I have the BEST idea for the name yet!!!

Why not name the AT after the person who discovered/rediscovered/popularized it? We do it for comets. So I suggest the Sliding fSmash have either Magnum or Blade in its name.

Magnum Jab
Magnum Slide
Fingerblade
Magnum Slice

Well, this is not as well known as a comet, and possibly more useful.
Not my name, For all anyone cared I would call it shroom-sliding (S in L.O.S = shrooms)

How bout the sliding jab>up-b combo?

Hmm, my favorite set up is SH fireball > hyphen Upsmash these days.

Ima start throwing in some slidebangs or whatever wacky name you guys come up and see how that works.

I have a feeling its a tad slower, but with more range.

Details tommorow~

EDIT: I don't like the sliding jab to UpB, you don't go anywhere and it makes landing the move harder IMO. But idk.

ok im making the sliding fsmash vid now.
If you want, I'll save some replays of some fireball to sliding fsmashs during some friendlys. I usually get some in in the afternoon so I can see if I can get any off. That would be a true measure of its usefulness if its practical in battle.

Nothing's wrong with it. I just said that if it's called a Sliding F-Smash and no other name is given to it, I will continue to call it a Fingerbang.

And I do consider it an AT. The sheer fact that you have to Charge a Smash with C-Stick and Z to be able to fSmash while moving forward with the analog puts it in that category.

its a lot like a jump canceled up smash from melee.

and they didnt call that anything special. but for some reason in brawl it had to be changed to hyphen smash or some ******** name like that.

IT IS a sliding f smash. call it the dildo if you want, thats what it is, and thats what it is called.

Can i get a point of reference please? How far have you gone with the sliding fsmash? It lacks in range whenever I do it; I'm still favoring the hyphen upsmash in terms of sliding approaches. Idk, I need a vid or something to see if I'm getting the most out of this move. Unless its already been established that it isn't as long reaching as hyphen upsmashing.

Whats big deal? Just call it sliding fsmash. When luigi walks and does a dsmash it increases his range but not by alot, we didnt give it a name,.
Because you can't call it fingerbanging.

I mean, seriously.

Fingerbang : Hyphen smash :: Walking : Running.

That describes the range accurately I think. However the fsmash itself has more range than the usmash (as if you didn't already know that).

Well it's similar to a sliding d-smash, just walk as fast as you can without dashing, then use the c-stick smash to do an f-smash but hold down the z-button to charge it and he will start sliding while charging the smash. If you don't charge it or use the control stick+a button smash it won't work.

And an f-smash has a bit more range and alot more power than the u-smash I think especially if angled up.
You definitely don't need the Z button but yeah, slides probably further this way.

<_<

just leave it at sliding f/over/side-smash (whatever you prefer to call it by)
There you go loucan. Straight from the originator's mouth. It's officially the Sliding F-Smash.

If you don't use the Z to charge, Luigi will stop dead in his tracks when releasing the fSmash. Charging makes you slide further. If you Smash with the A button, you will have stopped walking before initiating the fSmash, considerably reducing the slide distance. Every millimeter counts. So the proper way to do the Sliding F-Smash is to use the C-Stick and Z.

PS. I said I would still call it "Fingerbanging" and I'm no liar.

Does this work using the reverse in momentum from crawldashing or whatever?

Like you could be walking away from them and then you do a quick 3/8 circle to down & behind back towards them, and use it to do an f-smash while sliding towards them instead.

Or be walking towards them and do it so you reverse your momentum and quickly retreat while doing a sliding f-smash.
