Snake can platform cancel his back-air

Press down on the control stick to ledge-drop, then instantly flick the c-stick for back-air and you should, for some reason, do a back-air on the ground.

Watch to the end, when you see platform canceling. Snake can do that with his backair

You know you're doing it when Snake does a back-air without jumping whatsoever.

You're not creating a very good visual for me. :/

I can't. Just imagine him doing his back-air on the ground. Standing to prone, no jumps.

Will it actually hit enemies, or does it just do the "land during the attack" animation? And if it does connect, is there any reduction in lag or anything useful?

Uh oh, where's Phanna?

Yeah, it hits fine. Snake's bair is laggy, if you do this on a platform it's pretty much like another downsmash. It should prove useful.

When you say 'on the ground', you mean on the platform you tried to drop through, right?

 

[Deleted member]

Yes. You try to back-air through a platform but you end up fnot going through, if you do it fast enough.

This existed in Melee, called Platform Canceling, Phanna has a video of it on his channel somewhere. It only works if the hit connects and only certain moves work like Samus' Nair.

Okay, thank you for clarifying. However, you said something important - you have to connect the hit? Snake can platform cancel his backair without connecting.

How's the lagg when he hits the ground? If it has like no lagg then this is yet another useful thing snake can do

Is it me or is Snake the glitchyest character in Brawl?

 

[PsychoMidget]

There is a lot of lag and if you don't perform it fast enough the hitbox doesn't even come out

cool. good job finding this.
