The effects of the Popgun

[NastyMcMean]

Ok, i know everything about how the popgun is operated, and i have known for a while, but i have a more important question.....

What effect does it have on the victim........ Here are some examples

#1 Do they make characters move slightly backwords and or stop recoveries so you can use them as an edge guard like shieks needles (by the way, shieks needles are way fun to jump up and stop recoveries. This is because they dont allow the char. to restart there recovery immediately)

#2 Are they like Dr. Mario's pills, so they arent any good for recovery interfernce in the middle of an up b because they just allow there recovery to restart and dont move char. too much

#3 Are they like Links bombs where they hit you and make you stay close to the same place but you need to allow this animation to make you go up and down


You guys get the idea, before you contribute say weather you know what you say, or are making guesses, or if you are just saying what you dont suspect but just want. Personally i just want something like shieks emo needles

I'm thinking it's like Samus's Missle, the non smashed one but faster. So uhm number 3.

 

[Justaway]

I think theyre like bigger slower falco lasers

 

[Machspeed]

Yeah, not exactly the fastest projectile but pretty strong if charged enough.

Um, idk why you think Doc's pills aren't good for edgegaurding. Any proj. can potential be used in some application for guarding. On topic: Idk how to categorize them, but if I remember correctly, they don't start to have noticeable knockback till higher percentages. Meaning, up until your health is in the red, they only make you flinch. (Think jabbing some1 in melee at 150%) Also, obviously, the stronger the charge, the more knockback they have. So I'm guessing you'll start to see knockback at lower %'s w/it fully charged...

 

[Tom-Sawyer]

I'm guessing it will be like a half charged Samus charge beam. Slow but pretty powerful, with potential edge guardyness.

 

[Darkenedsoul]

hopefully it won't blow up half the time. Also maybe the more it is charged up the bigger it is.

 

[The Noob Legend]

If you can get it off quick enough, it's very effective to distract your opponent.
Then you can **** the hell out of your opponent.

 

[warriv]

yea it is kind of annoying trying to time the peanut's speed to hit them, but all it takes is some practice

 

[Percon]

I've been playing as him sometimes and I've noticed no peanuts come up. Odd.

 

[Ruggeth]

Actually, what I found out today after watching a few Diddy vids, the peanuts only crack out of the shell when they are hit.

And by this, I mean:

Diddy shoots 1 peanut at bowser. Before impact, bowser uses his side smash attack and impales the incoming peanut.

Result: A peanut falls out of the broken shell.

Im sure it was designed so that Diddy users couldn't run around and have the chance that they would randomly crack out of the shell for them.

Oh and. This doesn't apply for Diddy's final smash. During his final smash, peanuts are bound to fall out of the shell apon ground impact.

For those who were curious.

 

[Gea]

WIth items off do peanuts still come out? I never got to test this.

Also: Slow projectiles are a GOOD thing. You can effectively wall defensively MUCH better. Diddy doesn't have too much lag with them. And the exploding really happens if you just hold down the button. I find them most like Doc's pills. Made for mostly defensive use and walling, with limited offensive options if people are smart.

 

[Ruggeth]

They can be fast when he charges his gun. When its just used without charge it loops, but yeah works like his pill.

And I would imagine that even WITH items off peanuts would still fall out of the shell, seeing how Peach could pull beamswords from the ground with her downspecial, instead of turnips with items off.

 

[Gea]

But at the same time GW's hammer doesn't make food with items off.

 

[Ruggeth]

Umh I don't know. The peanut isn't really on the item list in brawl, its more-so part of his attack.

 

[Sairanen]

i think the peanot gun suck,

1: they are way to slow

2: they are easy to dodge

3: they don't do that much when u hit, if u don't charge the gun

4: u can catch the peanuts and throw them back so u are just giving u opponent items

 

[GOTM]

4: u can catch the peanuts and throw them back so u are just giving u opponent items

in my 3.5 hours of playing this game, not one peanut has stayed on the ground for someone to ear or throw from the gun =/

 

[h1roshi]

the effects are that his popguns suck. his bananas are FTW though...peace

they will not stay on the ground, u have to catch them in the air, just do an airdodge when the nut is about to hit u

 

[GOTM]

ive used these well to edguard some people. it stuns them off the stage in time for say a well placed fsmash or spike or something.

also, it stops falcos/fox's illusion so you can be patient and wait to see where there upB goes.

i think they are better than people give them credit for.

 

[Sairanen]

well everyone have different opinions, and i prefer to throw the banana at them rather then trying to hit them with a nut =)

 

[RagingCajun]

I've been using Diddy for a while now, and I would have to say his peanut gun is not terribly useful so far. It doesn't really have much effect at all on the other person when they are hit with the nut, charged or not. Plus I've never seen the nuts been used as items as of yet.

 

[fallenangemon0]

you can catch the peanuts super easy with the C stick. and charging them only seems to boost their speed. I know because I played the game.

 

[Droly]

I'm maining diddy, pop gun is HORRIBLE I only do it to make my opponent shield if he really cares about couple damage.
