Usefulness of SWD

[chu12ch]

i've been trying to incorporate it into my game but can only do a couple things...
what different ways do you guys use to set up the swd, and what effective things do you during, and after...

 

[The Alpha Gundam]

The only thing i can think of is SWD away from a Respawn opponet.

 

[rokimomi]

Flashy kills.

Forward smash, swd missle/forward smash

 

[GoDOwnT]

Mind Games Son!

 

[Lanowen]

Please don't ignore the stickies on top of the Samus section.

 

[chu12ch]

i've seen the stickys, im asking what you guys use it for...

 

[technomancer]

SWD->Extenderrrrr, when you really need that grab.

 

[Corigames]

^ sounds like an infomertial

 

[HugS]

The SWD is inefficient. For the very few uses that it has, there are other approaches that work so much better.

I suggest using your time to work on more important things, like spacing and edgeguarding.

 

[mark.]

^hes kinda right. unless ur phanna and you can swd without even laying a bomb, your better off missledashing.

but for sake, a reverse swd to edgehog from far away?

 

[Sudai]

Don't forget the Tripple Missile first for supper flash!


Edit: Now that I think about it..on FD that wouldn't actually be a bad idea. No where for them to run. o,o;

that aint no mindgame son thats technical skills son everybody can do that

that was your first post?

 

[rokimomi]

Yarryo, your motha cant do it...

I guess unless u use it continuously, it will come as a surprize every now and again.

I like to SWD to show off. But the only real use is for traveling from one side of the stage to the other. Usually this is after you hit them the wrong way or after you get a kill (you should be charging up first though).

 

[Deveyus]

Realistically, other than running from a respawned opponent or just plain catching people off guard, it useless, hugs really said it, quit wasting time, go learn a flashy tech thats useful, like the repeated missle cancels on stadium/battlefield, save the super for after you can regularly fourstock every other samus player in existence.

I hate the SWD, too easy to guard against and too hard to do. ftilt destroys an SWD approach without too much effort.

also, X2X and majoras, where'd you get those sigs?

tis true what hugs said there are muhc better approaches, only thing that is of any use IMO is that you knock some1 at high percents across the stage (a big stage) they dont do but are off the edgfe so u SWD over there. Thats it and even they I can WD over there just as good or jump and shoot missles or do a bunch of other things that would be just as useful as just getting over there fast

 

[Sm00th_Crim1nal]

The SWD is mainly used for catching someone off guard or rapid movement. Realistically its near useless and other people want Samus players to waste time on learning it so we stay in the skill ghettos.

Couldn't you do a sweeping kick (smash-down-A (someone tell me the technical term for this move)) in the middle of the SWD and kick anything on the stage? Haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it could work. Comments?

 

[Hylian]

It's only useful if you can make it useful..if you can't...don't bother.

I did it today: sometimes it hits, sometimes it goes right by them without hurting. I would go with a charge shot, missile, fsmash, usmash (which does hit a lot of people who aren't really short), and taunting <--- mindgames

Yeah pretty much

 

[joshisrad]

It's nice to get away from respawn if they're right above you.
I think the most interesting thing about it is that it's very easy to fail and is very apparent when you are going for it. If your opponent advances, and you start to SWD but purposefully mis-time it.. maybe more than once, interesting psychological(mindgame) trick perhaps? It's worked for me. Then I have more space for missiles.
