Toon Link 0 to KO bug

[Foster J.]

Interesting bug huh?

So in essence, this works on all but the heaviest of characters in which case the weight difference would reduce the knockback slightly so they'd be hit by the 2nd hit at 0 % and thus not thrown into the blast zone.

I dont think its a bug. Its a well known trick you can do to little mac for 0 to death combo. (Without him smashing)
The thing is, in the video, they charge a Smash which increase the knockback.

If you hit only the first hit of ToonLinkdown smash next to the ledge it does that all the time

As @ Yokoblue correctly stated, this is indeed a well known tech returning from Brawl. It isn't a bug. It takes advantage of the high amount of set knockback on the first hit of D-smash. There are a few other things that can add to knockback even though it is 'set'. The video showed one of these, and that is, when you hit someone who is charging a smash, they receive more knockback than normal. It has also been shown that rage will affect the knockback of D-smash. Anyway, this should have really been posted in the lab http://smashboards.com/threads/the-...oons-bottomless-bag-of-ats-and-tricks.380910/ and so I'm locking this thread. Any further discussion can be had about this tech in the lab.
