The Gungnir Combo

[Garioshi]

Now, we've all seen Gungnir's combo, and we all love it. The thing is, it's not as hard as it looks. At lower percents, it can be a great way to end a match, especially if you've got a stock up. I don't have a segway.

THE COMBO
The core of the combo itself is quite simple; just hit the opponent with a tipman so that they slide off the stage, footstool them, and wizkick spike. What Gungnir has done (I'm excluding the Flame Choke as it's not crucial to the combo) is what I'll refer to as Run. Run is very challenging to pull off but very diverse.

The other main method that I've found is what I'll call Stand, Genius, I know. Stand is done facing away from the opponent the entire time. It's much easier than Run, but also less practical.

Effectiveness

These are all at 0. I don't have the patience to do percent ranges.

Works:







Works, but can recover at low percents:


Footstool sends them too low to work:



Might be possible, but extremely difficult to do and probably not worth it:


It's worth noting that the while you can't get the spike on and , the footstool puts them far enough down that their only option is to double jump and up b, which puts them in a prime position to get daired.

Now, there's a similar option that can probably get the ones that just laugh at our footstool: Just wizkick spike them when you get offstage instead of footstooling them. It works on , at the very least.
If I missed anything, feel free to tell me.

Does this work with Down-Air as well?

 

[Garioshi]

No, there's too much startup.

That's not a Gungnir Combo -- that combo goes all the way back to Brawl.
A user named stRIP was the first Ganon ever seen doing it.

It can be seen in one of our Brawl Community Vids.
