You commented on the vid saying that it's impossilbe to do, were you joking or is it actually really hard? I haven't tried it so I don't know.5 billion and 1.

not at all any and all ideas are accpetd and gone over to see if there good or not keep pitching yoYou commented on the vid saying that it's impossilbe to do, were you joking or is it actually really hard? I haven't tried it so I don't know.
If it actually is hard, I have a crazy idea to throw out there that's probably relaly stupid.
I was thinking maybe you could set the control pad to special (or at least one or two of the directions if you wanna keep some taunst, but no one taunts anyway, they just do flashy AT stuff or pivot walk). The reason I say this is because with AT's like this, were there is strict itming where you must press special when you're not touching the control stick, using the control pad will force you to take your hand off the stick, so once you get accustomed to the timing there will pretty much never be any danger of pressing the control stick at the wrong time etc.
I know it's probably a bad idea but just throwing it out there.
Couple things,SMS Battle Christ's Arrow Trick (SMS BCAT)
How to Perform: Similar to the BCAT, only harder still. SH, Do any move you wish that can be Quickdrawed (most useful if used with a Bair), then when you're so close to the ground that if you waited a split second longer it would be a normal arrow, Lightly Tilt Backwards B, then Instantly Hit Forwards.
Effect: Toon will SH, Bair, then Quickdraw except, while Toon will stay facing the same way, the arrow will go Backwards in the opposite direction Toon is facing.
Note: Very strange stuff. As I said, this works best with Bair as it means you can Bair, shoot them with a Quickdraw and go straight back into another Bair because you will stay facing the same way and shoot backwards. This tech is still quite new, so not all uses for it are yet known.
Stages: All
Usefulness: 10/10

(rubs mustache) yes yes our little hyro is finding out lots of things now isnt heCouple things,
1. Why is it called SMS Bcat?? A special momentum shift is the opposite of wavebounce, where you go in one direction, shift momentum to the opposite direction while still facing (and shooting an arrow) in the first direction.
In this tech, there aren't any special momentum shifts. It's simply BCATing...but a reverse BCAT since your only turning around on a reverse arrow cancel. Just reading SMS BCAT makes me thing of the wrong buttons that I would be pressing to do this tech.
2. How did uh you get credit for this lol? Wouldn't it be battlechrist getting credit for it??
Other things,
I was watching my old replays and I found out more crazy new techs:
Dair wind cancelled dsmash, when you're having a TL ditto, if you dsmash a tl right when he dairs by the edge, you'll hit with the first hit then you'll fly off stage from the wind, the second hit won't hit and he'll go flying (lol)
Ike's jab cancelled dsmash, when you're fighting an Ike, if you dsmash him and he jabs you at the same time, only the first hit will hit and he'll go flying (lol again)
...so basically anything can cancel a dsmash...
oh and I noticed a snake powersheild my arrow and it came flying back at me...but it didn't do damage or anything

I called it a SMS BCAT because the controls are the same. If you think of the BCAT as a perfectly timed B-reversed Quickdraw, then what happens here is a perfectly timed SMS Quickdraw. I can see where you're coming from though, so I can change it if you're still sure it will confuse people. It's just what came to me at the time so no probs here.
2. How did uh you get credit for this lol? Wouldn't it be battlechrist getting credit for it??
Battlechrist found the original BCAT which is shooting an arrow in the same direction and making Toon turn around. I only gave myself credit because I was the one who found out how to make the arrow go in the opposite direction and make Toon stay facing the same way, which is different.

This sounds really funny man. You can just imagine two Toons on a team catapulting themselves way out for the ultimate gimp

A similar thing happend to me, unfortunatelly I can't remember which attack it was, but I aggree that theoretically, most attacks from the opponent, if timed perfectly, should cancel the D-smash but make them still get hit. It'd be the timing that would be hard to re-create consistently. But it's all good to know, so thanks.

Aha. Yep I've heard of this happening. I'll just see if I can find the post..... Ok so I could't find it, that's quite dissapointing. But yeah, I have heard of this hapening. It has to do with powershielding in a certain way or something like that and it can be done to most projectiles. I'm just surprised that it happened at all cause it's a very rare occourence and because of this, people don't know why it happens exactly. Do you have a replay?
Yeah you should definitely change the name of it. Even if the buttons are the same, it's a completely different thing.Answers are underlined in the quote.
I think I kinda get where Hyro is coming from.@Hyro: Ok so I'll change the name from SMS BCAT to Reverse BCAT, that's fair enough, but I still see it as a new tech. It's like, the complete opposite of a BCAT. Why would I say that Battlechrist gets the credit for something he has never even done? Let alone found. I'd sooner leave the credit blank then say that battlechrist discovered it (nothing against him of course), it just doesn't make any sense. I know that you don't seem to like me putting my name down for things, and to some extent, I've already left it out many times (you'd be surprised, I'm not kidding). But I genuinely was the first one to do this and tell everyone how it's done. That said, I'd like nothing more then to have your approval of this thread, being arguably the most technical Toon out there. I'm sure we can come to some sort of an agreement about this, just talk to me, we'll work it out.
@Jerm: From what I remember, the main reason he says it's not worth it is because you can just reverse quickdraw and then RAR a Bair for basically the same effect. Not the same style or amount of flashiness, but basically the same effect. All the same, if you can do it consistently and there's no chance of you stuffing it up, it would be slightly quicker, so potentially more beneficial. Talk it over though, I'd be interested to see where this goes.
This ^^^ lolI think I kinda get where Hyro is coming from.
A reverse quickdraw is pretty much just b-reversing a quickdraw, but b-reversing is universal to all neutral b moves, so a reverse quickdraw is not really a new tech, it's just b-reversing an old one.
The same thing applies for the BCAT, you're just applying a universal AT, the b-reversal, to a BCAT.
It's kinda like saying b-reversing an attack out of an RAR is a new tech, when in reality it's just-reversing an old technique.
I don't have a problem with you putting your name down for anything, but this for example, when did you come up with this? Me and Lee have been reverse BCATing for a looong time (not thinking of it as a new tech) and...the first thing I can think of mentioning it (other than trying to show Jerm it at some hobo) is a caption I put on a pic in the TL results thread.@Hyro: Ok so I'll change the name from SMS BCAT to Reverse BCAT, that's fair enough, but I still see it as a new tech.

Z-Air isn't really an advanced technique IMO..Can you put it that I invented Zair? lol
your right its a super advanced techniqueZ-Air isn't really an advanced technique IMO..
^thisYes, I know what your talking about. Hyro didnt discover that. Nobody really discovered it. After seeing battlechrist do it, im sure we all thought of the other possibilities.
successOh screw it all XD. I'll just leave it blank.
Ok, first off read the bold. In the first paragraph, you explained what a B-Reversal is. Then in the bolded paragraph, you said this other thing is ALSO known as a B-Reversal. Pretty sure it's not, and it's actually called a "Wavebounce".Well I'm glad Hyro's happy.
Ok Dre. There are many things you need to know about this before you can understand it, but I'll try.
For the purpose of my explaination, I shall only use arrows, just keep in mind that it can be done with all B moves (Up, Down, Side) and that the controls for each are different.
Essentially, there are only two different types of reversals. You have the turn around B and the B-reversal. The turn around B is keeping the same mometum that you had and simply turning around and firing an arrow. I haven't actually included the turn around B in this list because I thought it was common knowledge, but if it was in this list, it would look something like this.
How to Perform: Jump in any direction, Tap the joystick Backwards, Hit B.
Effect jumping forwards: Toon will jump forwards, continue going forwards turn around and shoot an arrow back.
Effect jumping backwards: Toon will jump backwards, continue going backwards turn around and shoot an arrow.
The other type of reversal is of course the B-reversal. This is where you jump in any direction, Hit B then Instantly hit Backwards. The effect is you will jump, reverse your momentum and the way you are facing and shoot an arrow.
The SMS, if you will, is not something new altogether. It is simply a combination of the above two techs which then gives a completely new effect and use. You jump in any direction, lightly tilt Backwards B then Instantly Hit forwards. The effect, Toon will reverse his momentum but not the direction he is facing and shoot an arrow. In fact, as I have said before, Toon does in fact change the way he is facing only he does it twice realy quickly. By combining the two techs, we have a new tech with new uses and possibilities.
I'm hoping that you knew all of that, but I had to make sure. If you still don't get it, then read through it again slowly and also check out what I've already written in the OP.
So the BCAT can be thought of as a B-reversal Quickdraw that is timed at the right time. The right time being as close to the ground as possible. You jump, and right as you're about to touch the ground, you Hit B then Instantly hit Backwards (notice that it's the same controls only timed differently). What will happen is, Toon will quickdraw, but because of the B-reversal at the last split second, only Toon will turn around and the arrow will continue going in the same direction. And because it is a quickdraw, there is no momentum change because generaly speaking, Toon doesn't slide when shooting grounded arrows.
With The Reverse BCAT, you can think of it as a SMS Quickdraw that is timed perfectly. You jump, and right as you're about to touch the ground, you lightly tilt Backwards B then Instantly hit Forwards (again, you can see how it's the same controls). The effect is again quite different, instead of Toon turning around and the arrow going in the same direction, Toon stays facing the same way (just like the SMS) and the arrow goes backwards. This is a new tech with new uses and new possibilities.
So what you where missing is that there are two different types of reversals. So when you said that it's just B-reversing the BCAT, this was far from corrrect, as they both contain a B-reversal (in a sense), the only thing that is being added is the turn around B just before the B-reversal which is the SMS. And when you said that when the BCAT was discovered that all Toon's must have known this variation could be done, the fact is they didn't. Even if some of them thought, well it might be possible, no-one on record has ever said it can be done, there are no videos showing it being done and from what I remember, even in the original thread written by battlechrist himself, he never mentioned being able to do this.
It doesn't matter anymore anyway, I'm just trying to explain this to you so you understand. Btw, this is why I said I'd just ignore your post, so I could avoid posting something this long. But I hope you understand now the difference between the two and what sepperates them, because I'm not explaining again XD.
Nah you're ok, I hope this helped man.
I thought it would've been common knowledge, but I think it's been overlooked.Vid please. I kind of get what your saying but the rest of us might not. Glad I stopped playing wind waker though...sounds interesting
Oh the TOP of the screenI thought it would've been common knowledge, but I think it's been overlooked.
When you do a slow dair, the dair ends.
When you do a fast dair, the dair ends too, but you go so fast that you either hit the stage or fall to your doom.
But if you dair from really really high (the bubble at the top of the screen), you can pull off an UpB around the bottom of the screen.
If you used up your jumps, it's useless, but if you were to get hit vertically, but live, you can dair and DJ to UpB and you'll live.
Make a custom stage that's really tall and you'll see it.
Yeah, not overlooked, just most of the time you're never high enough. The funnest way to play with this is in that Links training grounds. Go to the top platform, full hop, double jump, then dair. The dair will cancel RIGHT before you hit the ground and you can attack laglessly. Like utlit or something XD.I thought it would've been common knowledge, but I think it's been overlooked.
