tilting the ftilt

[Pompi]

well before i posted this i used the search and found nothing about it so im claiming it , ftilt can be tilted up or down, i dont know if this has any uses with luigi so i want someone to test it , until now it seems to me dtilted ftilt ihas the same effect as a non tripping dtilt , with falco it seems that utilted ftilt has a spike hitbox on the lower part of his leg.. if this is already known the lock this. just in case you are willing to try it the input is well, diagonal. It seems there is also a diagonal section where neutral a is possible , i did a jab with the cstick but i havent been able to replicate it.

Trust me... if a tilt/smash can be tilted, we know about it by now.

Also about the C-stick, i just doubt it :3 maybe you pressed A and didn't realize it, then when you tried to C-stick he finished the AAA combo.

i think maybe its like b-sticking where neutral b can be done in a diagonal direction, he didnt finish the aaa though , he just jab the first one and thats what got me interested the tilts dont seem to have much use

down-angled ftilt has like, 0 hitstun and you will get punished 90% of the time just because you hit someone with it.

Can't it be used as a jab lock?

tilting the ftilt down is how you do the semi F-tilt lock, Locuan has it in the Luigi Tactics guide.

so it does have its uses? besides semi-lock no weird hitboxes or anything?

I don't think so, I don't pay much attention to angling it outside of the lock, I just use it as a spacer. It might have its differences but I don't think they are significant.

tilting the ftilt down is like 0 hitstun and garbage tbh. utilted ftilt can generally stop SH approachs, and slightly hit them in a different trajectory. differences aren't big anyways.
