Tech Chasing

[Nike.]

With the new codes in +, landing on the ground has obviously become far more likely than air dodging into it. It's very much like Melee. Veterans of past years can relate to this with joy. Coupled with dash canceling and dash dancing, the options out of this lost art has been revived once again.

We should exploit this strategy to it's limits with every character. If you find something extremely useful, please share your findings :D

Example:
Toon Link grab->uthrow against fastfallers at low percent. Forced landing. And the mind gaming begins. From there set it up again or even combo into something else. I thought Tink first since his DD grab has a lot of range on it.

Here's a question, who can tech chase the best? Whos has a perfect setup to it? Discuss!

For me, I think Sonic's definitely one of the better tech-chase characters. The momentum code boosted his game, and he's got a lot of throw games. You can chase with fair, and I think I read in the Sonic thread that Usmash was going to spike in a future release, setting it up for even more tech-chase games.

Falco has a lot of techchasing options thanks to his Dair and DThrow. He also has great resetting options (laser and jab) which can sometimes be linked out of these, meaning that you have to be really careful with his ground game.

Snake retains his awesome throw which was used for techchasing even in vBrawl.

It is a shame that Jigglypuff and Luigi do not have more moves which ground an opponent, because techchasing into Rest or Shuryoken is just so satisfying on the rare situation where it does come up.

Kirby Dthrow at low %'s.
Nuff said.

=D

 

[CloneHat]

REST. Or Ganon stomp/sideB/downB is pretty good.

Squirtle's amazing feint game makes techchasing fun fun..

 

[Roxas215]

Sonic is by far the best tech chaser. Squirtle peach and kirby are good as well.

 

[Blank Mauser]

Falcon is a great techchaser, probably better than Sonic on following up to them too.

Snake's ftilt sets up for techchase, it kind of *****.

There's no crouch canceling. Just letting you know.

 

[Revven]

I'm pretty sure by crouch canceling, he meant the one from the dash, which is actually now known as Dash Canceling.

Peach's canceled aerials, especially her Nair ;D Too good.
