Tether Up B Meteor Cancel??

[Vayseth]

I don't know if anyone has posted about this but it was very interesting for me. While playing against his ICs I asked why he never faired me with Nana off of the level because surely Oli would die at any percent by doing that. However, he told me that Olimar can just up B and meteor cancel it and immediately grab the ledge. I never heard of this but after trying it seemed to work a decent amount of the time. I don't think it worked when the fair hit me into the stage and I was stage spiked but it worked a decent amount.

Anyone else know if tethers. or Oli's up B specifically, have meteor canceling abilities?

I bet you could just smash DI into the stage and tech it.

edit: I was thinking more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFgf2EKYB4g

it meteor cancels very easily, in fact I do it all the time.

 

[Kirby-oh]

Sure, I've done it before as well. You would expect the Pikmin to just pull apart, but they don't.

 

[shanus]

well sometimes, they do get too far apart and the full length of the chain is not achieved. It works prolly like 75% of the time

 

[KillerSOS]

yeah the pikmin sometimes don't make the whole chain.

never tried it myself ^^; mainly because you can DI nana's fair so that nana grabs the ledge as soon as her fair is done. I'll have to try it out now that I know it works though, the tether might snap the ledge before nana can get it.
Also, epic recovery from ganons spike. I was seriously here like O_O;;
lol
Also, me and arkive zero have been working on this, and yes I can DI towards the stage and tech the wall. I haven't done it yet, but arkive does it all the time now XD.

clearly you need to play melee more if you don't do that already!

Nice discovery, although I'd try my best to avoid the spike altogether, now I know that there is an alternative.

The tether is amazing at canceling spikes. It's really good for not getting ***** by ICs who are weaker at doing the other CGs

 

[Aztec Avenger]

People will still try to spike you out of the IC CG, I mean he more Olimar is off the stage the higher chance he\'s going to mess up his recovery.

The Tether is Awesome!

His Up B seems to cancel out the hit stun from the spike making it work in his favor.

Ok, why is it that sometimes when I get spiked by falco after a chain grab the upB won't come out right away? It's frustrating as hell when that happens

Up-B always saves me against Falco's chain grab>spike. I just mash up-b and it comes out in time, I don't know what you could be doing wrong.

 

[RichBrown]

It's cuz I play against DEHF and when he does it it has more hitstun XD
