The Lucas Boards' QnA Thread

[rPSIvysaur]

item throws cancel upward momentum. it's probably the reason why we can zapjump with them.



was that even necessary? obviously from the animation it's thrown up. and does it matter whether it's thrown up or down? whatever directions, they're both still item throws. this doesn't disprove any of my points neither does it try to argue any of yours. so i'd appreciate it if you didn't go around the boards raising irrelevant points thinking everyone else is an idiot, thanks.

the tire still hit wario, and most items would knock the opponent too far away to be able to follow up. also wario moves waay too fast and stays in the air too long for this to be even feasible.

point remains, it's not competitively feasible.

No it doesn't, I tried in frame by frame with a Banana and it didn't work. ;_; I don't know what he did. >.>

 

[crifer]

Sorry, I didn´t want to post something that would feel you like an idiot O.o

Point is: you throw the item up asap and, for example wario, does not get knockback high enough to get away, afaik.

hm? i'm pretty sure it does. i once had to force myself to use pk thunder against my friend's diddy because i accidentally threw out a double jumped fair offstage while holding a banana. the item throw cancelled my double jump, and the lag forced me to pkt.

0:14-0:23 is when i do it. I do it twice in that time frame and several other times throughout the video.

How do you zap jump?

 

[Kaoculus]

didn't they just explain it^? lol. at the same moment that you're doing your second jump, press pkfire. timing is hard at first.

does lucas have a platform cancel?

 

[Ravenlord]

I need some advice.

What general mistakes do I make?

 

[Neon Ness]

In the first video, how did you change direction in midair at 1:36?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Lucas is hit by the tire, but doesn't take much KB at all. Look at his damage as that happens.

 

[The_SMILE]

Is there any way to control if we get grab released in the air vs the ground?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Depends on a couple things:
1) Are we being held off the ground or on the ground
2) Are they pummeling.

If they are pummeling and you release a little after the pummel hit, you will always ground break. (speed of the pummel will have some affect, so pretty much Wolf can always ground release us if he pummels, but Meta Knight can't always force one). If you are being held off the ground and they do not pummel, you will always be forced into an air release. If you are being held on the ground and not being pummeled, if you input a jump, you will air release and if you do not, you will ground release.

 

[The_SMILE]

By off the ground do you mean like on a platform or something?

 

[HailCrest]

By off the ground do you mean like on a platform or something?

are "your" legs fluttering about in the air?

[Chuee]

*dies*

 

[rPSIvysaur]

No, no. It's not Lucas camping. It's rPSI's camping.

 

[Kite0692]

Olimar throws pikmins...The red one loves pk fire >.> Im serious D: How Lucas is supossed to play Olimar?

 

[Chuee]

Play patient and careful.

 

[KoozyK]

can i get a guide to approaching please? or direct me to where one is.
im starting to look like kismet with falco, im way to aggressive...

Olimar throws pikmins...The red one loves pk fire >.> Im serious D: How Lucas is supossed to play Olimar?

and dude, short hop nair and stay away from sv, that place breeds yellow pikmin. if u short hop nair, itll get rid of all of the pikmin but the yellow, and if u see a yellow coming start baiting the olimimar or outsmart them. yellows stun and slow lucas down when it comes to aprroaching.
as for red pikmin...i dont really understand how u approach with pk fire..but as the genius that is Chuee said, be patient and and careful, time will come where u can dair, ftilt, or smash a failed oli approach.
