Something I noticed.

[culexus・wau]

You know when you're playing someone and you're like

"**** I'm below the stage w/out a jump and I gotta UpB"

"**** they have the ledge"

"**** I can't cling"


and then you're sure you can't get back because they either:

A) tried to spike/semispike/stagespike you out of your UpB instead of just calmly hugging the ledge

either letting you snap the ledge or an oppurtunity to SDI towards the stage + tech.


B) for whatever reason get off and hit you with something that sends you horizontally

giving you the opportunity to float back and try again.


or

C) hold the ledge like they're supposed to do and laugh as you bump on the ledge.


Its very rare that c happens, at least for me =\



Why do you think they do this?

They don't know the MU?

they're stalling for time?

other reasons?

discuss as I get back to procrastinating on my paper on Jack the Ripper.

meh, they just know they can't be punished for ledge hogging Lucario b/c his up-B doesn't atk. which is why they choose (c) the most.

i only see (b) happening because they know we can wall cling easy on some stages, like siege castle or FD

as for (a), just to be jerks and laugh at our recovery attempt, i'm sure falco players get a kick out of this one, lol

If they chose C i'd bend over the ledge and get punished. But I try to do it at an angle where I'll snap to the ledge if it's free.

They don't know the MU, probably.

They choose A and B because they are idiots and try to be flashy.

There is no excuse.

This.

What looks sexier?

A ledgehog?

Or a spike?

Winning looks sexier.

Which is why I'd go for a semi-spike.

At this point, if that Lucario is somewhere under the stage, most of his option have run dry I'd think.

Personally people think lucario can wall cling using his up b going directly into the wall but thats not true even though they go for any kind of spike to make sure the chances of making it is impossible even though just hugging works better<.<

 

[Steam]

We can wall cling going straight into the wall =/

 

[Indigo Jeans]

We can, it's just that it's not easy enough to do it reliabley.

Or at least, for me it isn't.

 

[Steam]

wut? as long as you can cling you can just ram straight into it and grab the wall with your face =/

 

[Indigo Jeans]

When I do that I usually hold the control stick for too long or something and end up bouncing off the side. :/

Which is why I'll just panic when I'm stuck under.

Practice clinging on FD's wall from 9001 different spots. It helped me loads
