Nice find. So what is the best and I guess most common way to use this spike? The way it happens in your video is not a very likely situation. How has this move worked out with most of your matches?Ok, don't know if it's known already..... with my story.
It's a shorter list to ask what drugs he wasn't on when he designed the game.Say WHHHAAT XD! omg great discovery. I luv you, will try this out right now o.O.
By the way.. wow :/ wierd.. facing the wrong way makes it spike... WTF was Sakurai smoking o.O?
epic win to this man and anyone who has the pyro updates for tf2OMGWTFBBQ!
Every time I try it facing forward, the opponent goes upwards. At least this way they always go down.I practiced this a while back. I still have not found a way to use it in my game effectively. It works facing forward too...Its like a t bag spike when facing forward.
Yes, the hitbox is in his body. But if I face forward and try to hit the tip of the sword, they go upwards. If you have some more info on this, please post.it does the same thing if you face forward lol...
the reason why it does this is because they get hit with the spike hitbox, which i think is on the tip of his sword, and inside his body.
Even with that in place, what are the chances of Link hitting someone before they grab the ledge.
It's been discovered on the Ness forums that for every form of ledge recovery, there is a moment where the invincibility is out yet there is not any stage beneath you.Does it matter what the opponent uses to get up from ledge?(its hard to test against CPU)Nice find however.
And are we ever going to stop discover new (edgeguard) things with link?
@Finns7: Link is not anywhere close to broken (yet... but after we have found all of the 432 AT:s that is link exclusive, he is broken...)
No, it always spiked in melee. This is not the case with brawl.Wait, what do you mean you discovered this? Wasn't this common knowledge? Link's D-tilt is ALWAYS a spike in Brawl. On the ground your opponent has nowhere to go but up, making it the only occasion where it doesn't spike.
It's just that you'll never actually ledgeguard with it since it's much too situational.
I don't see where the hype is coming from.
