see this or scroll down a few posts
so i decided to make a thread
since the nobody really seemed to notice it in the ddd questions
i haven't read, heard, or seen anybody do this
it's not in matchup guides, not in stage guides, or anything i've seen on the forums
but i also don't really keep up with the ddd forums
not since the metagame turned into grab better
so i found out earlier today by messing around
that you can standing infinite characters with the really short cg distance, like rob and snake, on the top rotation of rainbow cruise. and i mean pretty much everywhere on the top section.
the main restriction i noticed
- had to be facing left. why, i dunno... since the screen scrolls right it made no sense. standing infinites on platforms like the rc carpets and smashville's have to be done going in the direction they're moving. so it goes against the known standard, or the stage is ACTUALLY MOVING left while the screen stays still.
my assumptions, i only tested this for like 10minutes:
- i tried this on mk, couldn't get it, on platforms or on the stage
so i assumed if i can't cg you then i can't do this on you.
- tried this on marth, couldn't get it, on platforms or stage
assumed that if you went a decent distance away it didn't have much of an effect, might open up some smallsteps though.
- haven't tested whether it stales or not, needing a pummel to ignore this. i don't think it does, or it's unlikely to matter to much since the stage scrolling makes it to where you really won't do a large amount anyway.
- even if this is new to the forum, which i still dunno if it is or not, somebody already knows this and is keeping it to themselves. shame
usefulness:
- well, since you have to be facing left for it to work. you could normally just cg right off the side for a kill anyway. so on stage it's useless unless the stage is restricted. for example snake's grenade is down, rob's top is there, one of the fall away blocks is randomly missing, so you can stall till the restriction isn't there anymore.
- but it's great if you catch em on the platforms, since they sometimes camp these to avoid the lethal grab on stage. so if you somehow catch em on the platform, it's lethal there too.
- most tourneys with the standing infnite banned don't count stage assisted infinites, like walls, so it should be legal unless your tourney organizer really hates ddd...
- maybe they'll ban rainbow cruise instead of castle siege... that's pretty much what i hope to get outta this
anyway, if it's new to people, woot, if it's not... then i guess lock it down like every other new thread posted in the brawl character sections
