Umm... A way to approach a Metaknight? (And many others?)

[Sky`]

I'll try to make a video if it's worth it.

So, yesterday I played Connor in a tournament match, and he used Metaknight and whatnot. He approached me by Shffing some Bairs my direction, and when I would get close, no matter what move I did, he'd land one.

But then I tried staying primarily to the ground, and something really cool happened. XD

Dunno what this is called or whatever, but When you back air, As soon as the power hit lands, I guess you can drop it, buffer a new one, and just start again.

I ended up hitting him with 2 Back airs in a row, a whopping 30 Percent!

And then I got to thinking like... how far could you go with this? To me, if you do it right when you try it, it looks like peach is just spazzing out, and just doing Bair after Bair, seemingly sweeping the screen. I like it against Metaknight, because if you hit the sword, and the sword Stops mid attack, and cancels your Bair, you can buffer a new one, and instantly punish it. =3

I tried this on Jmex's DK, and Areo's DDD in Tourney's and MMs.

They worked. I'm not saying that I killed them, but they did prove to be quite useful.

Also.

Glide tossing doubleslap seems to be another very good approach to a metaknight who keeps using his Bair, or whatever. Or glide toss Slap grab. Those are my favorite.

P.S.
I placed 5th in that tourney. Highest place yet. XD

You're saying groundfloat > Bair > release to autocancel > groundfloat > Bair?

Yeah. >_>
that's the Jist of it.

You can switch it up and use an Nair.

If you do that you can also sometimes get two hits in from the Bair for a total of 21%.

Short hopped Bairs and Turnips/Toad are generally my reply to those people who space short hop their aerials. Works for me. Bair is an excellent move if against someone with small, fast aerials. Fair is too slow and Nair doesn't have enough range

This sounds pretty cool, but can't you get shield grabbed out of it? Nonetheless i'll try this approach and see how it goes, seems useful!

Yes you can be.

If I feel like pressuring the Metaknight I usually float just above his head while he's on the ground and float toward him. The Metaknight will shield expecting an attack so you can delay your attack to diminish his shield and then shield spike him with your Dair. From there I'll cancel it into smack to grab, or smack to Dsmash....whatever is most appropriate at the time.

Spacing Fairs by floating just outside of the Mk's range is also good.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

Lol I used to do tons of repeated Bairs in Melee. I do it now and then in Brawl but it's somewhat harder to do...I think my controller is dieing repeated auto cancelled Bairs work but they just don't work as well in Brawl since enemies don't last in hitstun mode long enough

Record yours and send it to me saying "yo dude!" >.> *takes his tea and leaves in disgust*
Did you know that us British Peach's pluck Scones instead of Turnips? It's true I tell you!

 

[LegionBrawler]

I agree with ricky. By the way long time no see you were my first friend I think =o

 

[ApplesOfDoom]

I tried it and its pretty useful. The only thing is, it's pretty hard to pull off because you need the right opportunity and you need to do it extremely fast to hit consecutively.
