I discovered this idea out last Friday (3/7/08), while I was playing my brother's Luigi at Shadow Moses, Heights Bombing is based of the same idea as rainbowcides, and I'm dead sure there is more places to use it.

Here are the steps:
1. stand close to or under a high platform. (I found this out while at Shadow Moses and stood by a full tower)

2. Grab your opponent with your back facing the tower (or platform).

3. use up throw.

4. Kirby will land on the tower (or platform) and send the opponent flying up. This will kill most characters at about 40%.


Some people may know this but I thought I should point it out. I have been called a cheater several times performing this on friends because it kills at such low percents. Be creative with this, I have found it works great on custom stages with blocks placed near the top of the stage.

That's a great technique for maps like Shadow Moses Island, although many of the "tournament" maps like Final Destination and Battlefield don't have the towers, its very useful.
The only problem I see is getting the grab perfectly to kill them.

Awesome idea, just one question about it... which maps have towers/high spots that this can take advantage with? Y'know, besides Shadow Moses, 'cause I'm fairly sure that stage isn't going to even be a couterpick for tournaments lol

Yep, it works well actually. But like someone above me said, not all maps have a tower or raised area good for this. Still, nice technique. Thanks for sharing

Holy gimp! Who said Kirbycides are impossible now? No tournament stages (or at least it seems like it) have high towers or even really high platorms you can U-throw below, but it's good for turning a few heads (or making them roll...) :rolleyes:
