you might be fastfalling when performing the fair.. otherwise, i'm not exactly sure why else you'd end up underneath him. =\Okay.... this is a really serious question x_X and I don't know where to post it, so I'm posting it here.
Anyways.
This is regards the CG spike.
Is there a specific distance from the ledge you have to be at to be able to spike some characters (i.e. MK) or does it work right at the edge of the ledge?
I ask this because every time I've tried to spike MK I always end up beneath him when the move comes out... I was figuring either I'm leaving the buffering too late or I need to be a short distance back from the ledge for the spike to hit him.. :/
(for the record, I've managed to connect the spike once... but that was on the 3rd stage of castle siege so I think the tilting stage may have played a part. :/)
If there's a certain distance back from the ledge for certain characters, shouldn't we comprise a list or something detailing this?
MK CG spike/spacing:Wait... what? Seriously, the spike on Ganon has been disproved?
I find it odd because - like I said, every time I've attempted the CG spike on Ganon I've 100% hit him - this is whilst I was playing an actual opponent (probably the best player in the north west of england - or definitely up there) so...
****.
I can't find the posts regarding the diagram for the MK CG spike or the posts regarding the frame data which disproves the spike on certain characters.. :/ I fail. Shame on me.
Hopefully I can learn this list before the ranbat I'm going to on Saturday - good news for me, as if I can learn the sweetspot area for all the stages, I may finally be able to perform the dreaded gimp on MK and at long last start beating him :D
Calzorz also uses Snake (he's the #1 UK Brawl player... good friend of mine xD) so that post regarding Snake's effective options for recovery may help me gimp him also.
Just so you know, the original Mmac post does contain some outdated information. As bigman posted in the second link I gave, only egg lay is guaranteed on Falco and nothing is guaranteed on Wolf. Ganon escapes if he holds away from the stage and uairs.For Falco, is the sweetspot for the spike directly at the ledge or the same place that it is for MK? I can't recall the positioning I was in when I last gimped my cousin's Falco (although the note about him being gimpable from 0% explains why whenever the hell I have connected the spike he's died xD)
Also remind me to practice the Fair spike for Wolf... ;]
edit again
I can connect the Fair spike at the edge of FD O_o which is either very strange, or Trio is just an awful Ganon. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone can explain why.
Well, of the moves that Yoshi can use in the air, egg lay has the most range in front of him. It also functions as a grab, so it hits through shields. Since opponents always break out of the egg by jumping, you get a tech chase out of it too. Just be careful, because the opponent can vary how quickly he breaks out by mashing at different speeds, and is invincible when they break out. As for situations to use it in, say you jump at a grounded opponent, who shields because he expects a bair. Instead of bair, you can egg lay him. You can also use it when you're coming off the ledge, by dropping down, DJing, and egg laying. The B-reversal properties are pretty useful too. Some times, I use it when I'm dropping back down to the stage away from my opponent, and then reverse egg lay him. Another option is to cancel the double jump with it. Furthermore, you can also combine the DJC with the B-reversal.I'm quite new to Yoshi and find him extremely fun, so as I got more interested in playing him I checked those threads about his moveset. I think I have most things down pretty well as far as just info but during fights, I tend to not use Egg Lay as much as everyone's very good opinion of it would suggest I should.
Can someone give a rough description of when the best times are to use it?
EDIT: sorry for the very nooby feel of this question
Bah! That sucks.Just so you know, the original Mmac post does contain some outdated information. As bigman posted in the second link I gave, only egg lay is guaranteed on Falco and nothing is guaranteed on Wolf. Ganon escapes if he holds away from the stage and uairs.
Yeah, I'm coming. Yoshi dittos are as fun as Ganon dittos, aren't they? And I'm gonna get me some texture hacks, so I might finally get the orange Yoshi I've longed for.aurorean said:Hey, your gonna be at the ranbat on Saturday? Awesome. Will be good to play you again.
I wouldn't go calling Calzorz the best player in the UK like that though, London players are much better than EM players and there are a few people who could easily match Calzorz.
You know I have always thought the DR thread should be unstickiedDoes anybody else want me to unsticky the DR thread? Let me know.
Remember, the unsticky should come about because it's not an important resource for people to want to look for right away. It should not come about because you don't use it or think it's good. If you think it's a thread that is stickied that does not need the sticky, please chime in (except Metatitan).
My post is what everyone should refer to when they ask about DR/DT. Since it's already in Sharky's post, you can just unsticky this, and place this in the Q&A thread:
Q: "What is DR and how do I do it?"
A: Bigman40 has made a guide on how to do this technique. You can read it near the bottom of the first post in this thread: "Insert link here"
There's the best option.You know I have always thought the DR thread should be unstickied
As for "egg lay tricksies," there isn't any list I know of, but you can do some pretty nifty stuff by canceling the DJ and/or reversing the egg lay.dbl cause I feel like it and I'm doing frame data. LilB, you can add this to your guide
CG able characters that ESCAPE the DT options
Charizard
Bowser
Pikachu
Diddy
Link
Sonic
ZSS
C. Falcon
Ike
DK
Grab Release to Dtilt/Ftilt/Dsmash
MK
Lucas (You can Fsmash him from anywhere)
Squirtle
Ganon
Wario can be Fsmashed out of the infinite (standard grab takes 17, Fsmash takes 14). Just makes sure that you angle it up.
I plan on doing alot more so expect lots of edits on this.
Edit 1: Falco AND Ganon can only be Egg layed out of release offstage.
Sheik AND Squirtle CANNOT escape the grab release to Fair offsage.
Wolf AND Fox are immune from anything inesacpeable. However, you can possibly pressure him away to get a efficient gimp kill.
Edit 2: Ness can be Uaired out of release.
Only I get to double post! :oShiri I just wanted to say thanks for your double post warning you gave to me earlier, I really love those things.
