Hello everyone! I made this thread to bring to light what I feel is one of the lesser known ATs at Marth's disposal, and one that could really be explored a lot more. It's mainly known as the Stun Jacket. To the best of my knowledge, when Marth counters (Down-B) a tornadoing Meta and the retaliation swing DOES NOT HIT the Meta, Marth gets equipped with a kind of hitstun on standby thingy, and the next attack that connects with Meta has an additional 20 FRAMES of hitstun. As far as I know Marth does not experience this extra hitstun, making it easy to combo into other moves and even into moves that were impossible normally. Even more interesting to note however is the fact that should Meta be the one to attack you first, he will still experience the 20 frame hitstun during his attack, meaning that it will be more difficult to follow up on you.

I have not tested this tech yet, but I think you can do this with many characters in the right situations, for example I think you can get SJd on Snake's C4 as well. This is the point I'm trying to stress: we need to test this thing out and find more information about it! That and making sure people are aware of this very useful trick.
I'm sorry in advance if this turns out to be a really well known thing, I only found this out a few days ago. I'd like to think of this as our secret weapon against the Metas For those of you who are aware of this already, do you have any practical uses for this on MK or other characters?
