Tips on recovering discarded equipment?

Hello, it is I! The worst Robin player to ever grace this beautiful earth

I've had difficulty catching my dicarded equipment. I'm either not fast enough to catch it, toss it off the ledge and miss it completely, or attack when I'm able to catch it.

I've also had difficulty doing the Fire jab because we all know it's better than the Wind jab.

Easiest thing to do would be to go into training mode and use the equipment until it is about to break (there are certain counts of course, memorize those counts if you haven't already, I would suggest).

Then, as soon as the equipment is discarded, all you have to do is jump backwards and air dodge or use an aerial (when you're lined up with the equipment of course) to catch it.

For the fire jab, do the same thing, go into training mode and practice the timing, for characters that have different jab variants (i.e. an infinite variant and a standard 3-hit variant), if you slightly pause after doing the 2nd jab and before doing the 3rd, you will perform the single 3rd hit (i.e. Fire jab) as opposed to the Wind jab. In fact, this window to do the single 3rd hit as opposed to the infinite variant can actually be pretty forgiving.

Both'll come, they're just some things that need a little practice.~

Thanks, I'm starting to get the hang of it! I didn't know that you could catch with an air dodge.

Yup, no problem.

Good luck with practicing.~

you can also catch with the z button in case your opponent is good at punishing air dodges

Also if you don't react right away or do an attack right after you throw away an item dash attacking backwards works pretty regularly.

Go to training and discard a tome then catch it. Now throw it up in the sky repeatedly to get the timing of air dodge catching. Do about 100 of these. Then after throwing it up move forward a little then short hop backwards and airdodge grab again. Again do 100 of these in a row. You should be a pro at catching your material now. I did this and it worked for me.
