My brother's Kirby strategy is to wait on the edge of the platform and just keep sucking until I misstep and get caught. Then, he jumps off. Normally, I can escape before he reaches the bottom, but if I don't have a decent recovery character like Falco, Fox, or Mewtwo I have a hard time getting anywhere near the ledge again. He, on the other hand, can float back up in most stages quite easily.
What I've seen many Kirby players do is the little hop, jump thingy when they are in your mouth.. This only works if you're near the edge, but still, if you're facing towards the center of the stage, and hop backwards, when they struggle out, they may end up falling past the ledge. They won't grab it because they face away from the edge. While they can often recover, you get the chance to attempt an edgeguard. If they aren't too smart, they may accidentally fastfall themselves as well.
Ok, and do I shoot them as a star or spit them out and get their ability?
No, you let them go all the way to the bottom of hte stage in your mouth. They die a few frames before you and you get all your jumps back, so if you can time the jump you can usually recover.
Yeah cuz the time between pressing the buttons could have been the few frames u had to jump
Yup, that's right.
Falcon's not gonna try to full hop dair you when you're sitting there. He's gonna give you the knee.
More activity on Kirby boards! But, as usual, this isn't an unnecessary bump. I'm actually curious as to the answer of DeathscytheHello's Q since it was never answered. I feel like running at 2x speed actually gave him 120 frames/sec to work with, thus effectively DOUBLING his chances of pulling that first jump to survive. Perhaps, it would be impossible to survive at 1/2 or 1/4 speed, or I could be wrong. Anyone's thoughts on this?
Not sure who you're talking to, but this wasn't asking for help, and FYI the original asker of the Q was the one who made this thread who was pretty good w/ Kirby. And in case you didn't notice/read, I already figured out that it would run at 120 frames/sec. Was just confused on what that would mean for actions that can only happen in a one frame window. Don't know if you're new or a veteran making another account, but it's kinda presumptious to assume some1 is helpless or lacks a smash disc since neither happens to be the case. This was just some1 looking to find an answer to something completely trivial to the game.The answer is logical math if 60 frames=1 sec. And you make the rate of frames increase to go twice as fast how many frames would play per a sec. 120 which means the normal 60 frames would take 1/2 a sec meaning you have a 1/120th of a sec. To do it.
After reading your posts you seem to act helpless to some degree or you lack a smash disc to play on more than once a month. Asking for help is good but if you can find it out yourself that will make you much better in the long run.
I can assure you, I'm no alt. I've just seen quite a few around and have picked up on some things. My main suspicion arose when you referred to me bumping a lot of threads when I haven't seen your username anywhere at all. Whether you are or aren't one is, itself, trivial and not very important. No harm or hostility was meant.
