UpB superarmor questions

[highandmightyjoe]

Could someone elaborate on the superarmor effect from the upB because I have been getting varied effects lately. Once I used the upB against a Falco player who was spamming lasers and went straight threw three lasers to end up right next to him. Other times one arrow from a Toon Link will stop me where I am. Are their some specifics of the move I am unaware of?

 

[ssbbFICTION]

Its heavy armor, not super armor. Some stuff can hit you out of it. Also, its only for a short while, not the whole move.

 

[highandmightyjoe]

Well thats what I mean, I now thats how its supposed to work, but I was fighting my friends Falco the other day and avoided his lasers for the entire duration of the move. Is their some way to make this happen?

 

[brawlerbrad91]

I know it can go through wolf's lasers which have high priority, i thought it was super armor tho, idk, but it does clash with some moves, so i don't really know

 

[Imainlowtier]

The properties of the object and damage. Arrows do way more damage than lasers, so many lasers can be blocked.

I thought his upB has invincibility frames...

 

[Donkey Bong]

there are no invincibility frames, and it will only go through falcos lasers if the lasers
hit DK during the armor frames (i dont exactly remember which frames they are) but while he's spinning, the lasers will stop him because falco's lasers hit through normal hitboxes, unlike most projectiles

This reminds me of Zanglief's spinning attack. He sidesteps the projectile, but this is an interesting find

 

[Tujex]

When Dk twists to wind up, he has Super Armor and will continue to move depending on what hits him. While spinning, his has hitboxes to his left and right which will run through most projectiles, and clash with others.

On the ground DK does have super armor while using his up B, anybody who tells you other wise is wrong. it can go through certain projectiles because of priority like the others said.

however DK does have 1-2 invincibility frames on up b when he uses it in the air, but they are very hard to time

Ripple knows best!

Does that make DK a Soviet?

 

[Tujex]

lol, we should change Red DK to Blitzkreig then!

 

[Donkey Bong]

haha sweet! Blitzkong!

Ladies and gentlemangz, we have a winner.

Does anyone know which frames they are where DK has the armor on the ground and the invincibility frames in the air?

At the SA thread in the tactical discussion someone said DK has invincibility frames at his grounded upB at frame 10 until frame idk...

And during what frames in the air is he invincible? The first 1-2? Or later?


Btw, I'm really sad that they changed his grounded upB at the start... does anyone remember where he in melee had this really strong hit at the start? I miss that...

 

[Tujex]

I don't know the frame numbers....

But at the wind up of his grounded UpB, he has Super Armor, once he starts spinning its gone.

I think the aerial UpB is at the wind up, which is much shorter in the air than on ground.

 

[KoSa!]

It means DK owns like Zanglief. Actually more like Hugo!

agree. It was awesome, although now you also can kill with it offstage...

Viet Kong anyone?

no, its superarmor, it just ends right before the attack starts, so theres a window to get knocked out.

aerial upb has invincibility frames as soon as the hitox activates

also, if red kong is veit kong, what does that make blue kong?

 

[Tujex]

The Patriot?

What color is blue DK's tie?

 

[Nokonoko]

Metro DK. <__<

 

[The Director]

The superarmor on DK's up b is a great defensive tactic. It can absorb a varying number of things, including CF knees. That's ridiculous.

It's also a good momentum taker as a setup.

 

[Tujex]

Whoa! It goes through knees?!?!?!

DK just became god-tier on my list.

Blue Dk equals Vishnu!

Thank you. I thought we had a group *********** on our hands when I read that Blitzkrieg=Soviet...
