How poetic
lol, that's riotous. Amish squirtle with the black hat and beard, instead of shellshift he just skids to a stop and turns around.
I proposed it in the alt costume thread to see opinions

I was thinking about that last night, but when I tried I failed
But of course.

those gyfys are so amazing, we must make one for everything!). This is a prototype only to serve as outline for the final tech tree infographic-whatever that will also incorporate input instructions.As for now... Tah dahhhhh...
I was thinking that too upon deliberation, you can shoot off the stage and watergun gimp a recovering an opponent, then withdrawl/waterfall back to the stage (also you have a jump left). I'd need to be successful with it in a match, or see someone else have success with it before we can be sure it's viable, but in theory it could be very good.
Yeah, I'm iffy on those nicknames too. We may just get rid of them all.
Please do, the nicknames are pointless and add confusion.
If you go fast enough you can hydrotaunt into shades (while facing backwards) then slide off the stage into an edgehog (hit shield when you get to the edge). Whoever does this first in an actual match is officially king of this subforum
is it useful though? Couldn't you just wavedash pivot grab? I dunno, I haven't used slingjupm jc grab
Squirtle Power Rankings:Burnsy is probably the best Squirtle.
For now
No, you need to walk in the same direction you want to dash in to cancel the wd momentum. It's kind of difficult input to do, as holding too much forward before the dash means you can't dash anymore.
You are right. I was wrongly assuming it depends on the WD direction, not on the dash direction. Dashing back first also works though. Thank you for correcting me.
Stopping with Squritle is bad.A few technology things with Squirtle:
Every Squirtle has to empty pivot much more, I mean, much much more. It is by far the most efficient way to stop your momentum and you have plenty of options out of it:
- jump, shield any attack in your new direction, f-smash in the reverse direction or crouch immediately
- any dashs/walks/another empty pivot/attacks in the other direction after the animation
Squirtle's run starts at frame 10, so you have to do it either before or you have to do it a bit more complicated, but still very practical if you are good enough:
Run -> crouch to cancel the run (just rotate the stick as much downward as you need) -> dash (stick back to the previous position) -> empty pivot.
You can cancel a WDs momentum by dashing in the opposing direction (one frame is enough) and then performing an empty pivot. Deciding in which direction you want to dash also gives you control over the direction you are facing at the end. That makes the one-frame-dash (if optimized of course) also interesting for cancelling other momentum (like shield pushback) because you might wanna keep the direction you are facing and one-frame-dash-back -> empty pivot is optimized for this.
Dropcancel: Drop through a platform and instantly do an aerial that hits the player instantly so you can land on the same platform again (don't forget to L-cancel). Only 17 moves are able to do that in the game and Squirtle's up-air is one of them.
Combos into anything basically (grab or up-smash being the most notable ones) and it is pretty easy to setup (except on FD lol) because you can use every kind of platform drop. Here a few setups:
dair -> dropcancel up-air
nair -> dropcancel up-air (at lower %s)
platform techchase -> dropcancel up-air (you can only drop from run animation, otherwise pivot drop after you go behind your opponent cause you have to hit with the frontside)
dropcancel up-air as shield pressure (hitting shields also counts): implement this sometimes to be even more unpredictable, not always your main option but Squirtle's shield pressure is movement and mixups so it is reliable if used correctly
If you want to dash forwards after a WD back, normally the speed is reduced significantly at the beginning but if you start with walking backwards (one frame is enough) and then dash forwards it has full dash speed (credit goes to @ T tauKhan for this one). Get fast with it and your maneouvreability after WDing will increase by a lot.
Most of this is somewhat technical but I'm sure Squirtle players welcome the challenge
@ D Daftatt Gotta update the list and think of names?
