I'm somewhat sure this has been covered, but yet to find it....lol
I played a gangsta Snake, and I noticed a very good ledgeguard/spike alternative....It is very situational, but when Snake uses the cypher up against Smashville, FinalD, and Battlefield, as in rise at a slant against the level, Diddy can just barrel boosts on top of the rising cypher without having to leave the stage, just ^B on the edge....it is pretty much garenteed; HOWEVER, this is very situational, and I would figure most snake mains would cypher from afar and not underneath, but when it does happen, this can allow for a safe spike with significantly less risk....just 6% from the cypher rebound lol
I don't know if this has any kind of competitive application, but it is a very nice way to punish snakes :D
try it out!.....maybe someone can tweak it into a ledge/spike technique???? lol
if this has been stumbled upon already than my bad, fo real
