The dreaded ledge..........(NEW TECH!!)

[Tenki]

I didn't read this thread but

I stagespiked a recovering Marth.

...with Falcon's ledge attack.

I forgot which ledge attack it was, but man, that thing has a weird hitbox.

 

[SmashBrother2008]

Falcon for TOP TIER/~Vegeta what does the scouter say about his power level?IT'S OVER 9,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~/Too Good

Noodlehead, your qoute is very uplifting. It speaks a good message.

 

[Noodlehead]

yes falcons too good

 

[Wogrim]

It may or may not be easier for some people, but you can nudge the stick a very small amount instead of flicking it (for letting go of the ledge) to do the reverse technique.

this tech seperates the men from boys

those willing to pull this off are the real men who can handle Falcon

 

[SmashBrother2008]

Uh... won't they think you're trying to spike them? They can see DAir coming.

Well sometimes, you need to move correctly. But it also works great while coming up through platforms.

I'd say I'm pretty good at it, but if I don't make sure to concentrate on the quick flick I suicide, so I'm afraid to try it in a match. There are very few situations in which to use it anyways (pretty much just edgehogging and they up-B onto the stage).

 

[MarKO X]

This move is soooooo much better than a spike for characters that have upB moves such that they can't attack after doing them (in other words, not Sonic, G&W, etc.) It's sooo beastly, you ledgehog, and your opponent might still make it to the ledge because... well, this is Brawl, not Melee. So you jump and hit that Falcon Punch.

It works VERY consistently if you know how to do it. All you have to do is get your opponent below the stage, know when they HAVE to use their upB so that you can take advantage of your invincibility frames and not get stage spiked, and ledgehop Falcon Punch for the win. Once you know how to do it, the hardest part will be the set up (getting opponent to recover while their below the ledge).

I can't wait to see this one pulled off in a tournament video.

 

[Ayaz18]

so any one like the name as the Forsaken Recovery?

I think it sounds pretty epic

 

[Noodlehead]

yes very epic

 

[Froth]

i can't do it

 

[Ayaz18]

i can't do it

(if on left ledge)

FLICK (I really mean flick) left to leave edge

right away press jump (y works best for me)

hit B first then Jam the control stick to the right

 

[Noodlehead]

"forsaken rdo you have the real video of the ecovery"not metroids
and with wiimote use c instead of y
nevermind i found the video

 

[wazgood]

lol ive been doing this forever

 

[Ayaz18]

lol ive been doing this forever

O_O

10wows

 

[Wogrim]

lol ive been doing this forever

The normal one or the reverse one? (Metroid's video is just the normal one and I'm pretty sure you could do it in Melee, but idk if you could do the reverse one)

 

[Tim_The_Enchanter]

Awesome. Just awesome.

 

[mugwhump]

If your opponent lands close to the edge, you can also do a single reverse paunch so you end up paunching them away from the stage. It kills better, but it's harder and they need to be closer.

Forsaken Recovery

 

[i.E.]

Haha! I tried it and it will even work against CPUs! Those dodgy-little-****ers.

Ugh....I forever vow to stop playing CPU's. I usually win by a huge margin against one of my friends (he follows the game competitively but just isn't very good). He mains diddy/lucario.

After playing CPU's for a whole week (a lot of the people i friendly with went back to college, while I'm stuck with community college this semester)....I mean, the CPU's are so predictable, and I guess they force a TON of bad habits. Because the next time I played my friends scrubby lucario, I lost. like....I got *****. And he was like "dude...you've gotten worse."

I don't think anyone should ever play level 9 CPU's.
Don't do it. It's detrimental to your game.

Unless your interweb sucks.

 

[SH4D0W]

The dreaded button input delay X_X
Online kills

 

[Ayaz18]

lol this thread still lives? I might as well bring back the testing thread for the helluvit

 

[fraudster111]

is thier a video link for this

 

[t3h n00b]

The thread is 8 months old... and there's a video on the first page.

 

[Wogrim]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25azDqTppyA

I don't think it got posted until the 4th page. Metroid's isn't the same.

 

[FAILchion-]

Why was this bumped...?

 

[HizoSturm]

ive seen it on youtube... its pretty epic

 

[hdrevolution123]

Sorry for bumping this if is hasn't already been but what is the purpose of this tech? Since the animation still lasts on the stage how can it be deemed effective? Any idiot would not fall for it as a mindgame, right? Help :embarrass

Any idiot could have asked this question in the QandA.

 

[t3h n00b]

Any idiot could have asked this question in the QandA.

So you're implying that he's not an idiot because he bumped an old thread? Sneaky.


Hdrevolution, it's just another way of deterring edgeguarding. If you don't think it will work, don't use it- or try it in friendlies first and find situations where it may work in a real game.

 

[Player-3]

are you kidding me
this is a 100% guarenteed hit
thats why falcon is SSS tier

stupid noobs

 

[Ayaz18]

lulz

this is like only used against Marf......... just cause you can punish her recovery



in short it's just more badass.

[lordhelmet]

Well, people already bumped this so I might as well pitch in.

This tech isn't very useful, but I have tricked a few people with it and gotten a low % KO.

 

[Ayaz18]

absolutely no one person thinks that this is actually legit....... helmet, you just contributed to the general consensus when this was discovered.

please, no replies unless it's actually something other than an "opinion"

 

[Hiza]

situational, and gutsy, a good variant on conventional use.
