althought i havent tested it thoroughly, i think Falcon Dive is guaranteed on mk, assuming you jump cancel it

I've been messing around with MK's AR offstage, and I've been hitting MKs with aerial Raptor Boost, Run off Uair > Footstool, and Falcon Kick horizontally. I wouldn't say any of them are guaranteed (besides the Uair > Footstool at low%s), but any thoughts?

The raptor boost is doable offstage; however, it has a lot of risks. Your timing has to be perfect, if you mess up your timing, it can cost you a stock.

Dude. DUUUUUUUDE that GR > raptor boost never ocurred to me. We could mindgame it easily enough by feigning attack and making MK air-dodge... I guess... I'm just spouting theories here. I don't think it's a true combo, obviously.

Anyway, that would be indeed awesome. I second Makaveli!

He used one at the end of the post!

:p

Also, I tried to test it yesterday but my brother challenged me to a d-d-d-duel. He used kirby, and I couldn't do grab release -> jump cancelled-raptor boost against him...

Then again, disregard this post, my brother is 11, lol.

Its just too slow lol. If you dash grab mk at the end of the edge n buffer it maybe but not possible as they can just buffer jump<ad.

I think he was talking about the period in my name :p

The grab released to side b is possible but you have to be frame perfect.
And if you're not - you die.

Thiiiis. I would not take the risk of SDing (if I choose to use Falcon in this MU), especially against an anti-aggro MK. Since it takes frame perfectionism to work, what % would this spike at, fresh?

It's kinda tight on frames iirc, but it's possible.

Hey, im trying to figure out the counterpick for all characters so im going to all the Q&A threads of all the characters and posting this. I would like for you to give me your characters worst MU and worst stage so it saves me a lot of time researching it myself and testing stuff.

I would really appreciate it if you all helped me out.

Hope to get some answers pretty soon.

ICs: FD?

Pikachu: FD?

MK: Brinstar

Olimar: Halberd


IDK we have a lot of bad MUs, I'm not certain on which one is our worst.

ICs= FD

Pikachu= BF (i just don't like taking him here) FD is theoretically correct

Mk= Brinstar

Olimar: Pictochat ( if the stage is legal) or Halberd

Falco= FD
