Uses for Sourspot Dair -vid-

Sourspotted stomp has combo potential at 0-10%

The impact is too weak for the opponent to slam into the ground, which instead
causes them to stall against the ground (sort of) for a short period of time, allowing you to follow up with any quick enough attack.

I don't think Fsmash & TS are garateed after the sourspot, though my vid makes it seem like it is ;/

As always, different follows ups may be more/less effective against different characters.

Not exactly gamebreaking, but it can be good to know if you happen to Sourspot your opponent at low %'s.

That's pretty neat, actually. I wish I explored it as much as you did. All I did was do two dairs or follow it with a jab.

It sertenly is ~

Speaking of sourspotted attacks..
Ganon must have the strongest one in the game! 17% is amazing for a sourspot..

Hell.. Ganon has a lot of strong sourspots =_0'

Here's a question: When G-dorf dairs someone and they don't bounce (they get 15~20 damage and trip), is that also a sourspotted dair?

I don't quite understand your question..

15-20%? Sourpot Dair always inflict 17% damage (fresh)
Sweetspot Dair inflicts 22,5 (fresh) (or 22 on some chars, and 23 on other it seems O_o)

Sweetspot Dair appears when you hit the opponent with Ganons head, and or upper torso.

Some people say it's the beard that does this, but I don't believe it, cause if Ganons beard were to hit the opponent they would easily recieve at least 48% damage!

I couldn't recall the actual damage it gave, I was talking about the nonsweet spot dair on standing opponents, which makes them trip. I think I do recall it giving 17% damage...so yeah, it must be the sour.

Lol at beard. I think I've figured out why Warlock punch is so powerful: You'll notice that before blasting people to Hell with his backhand, Ganon brings his fist up past his face. This is because he is actually plucking a single hair from his beard, and the purple explosion of darkness that kills anyone in the blast radius is actually the result of Ganon stabbing someone with his beard hair.

I'll watch closely next time I use WP.

Hmm... I don't even want to know about his pimp slap potential.:embarrass
Probably very devestating..

Z1GMA, why haven't you siged this Ganon drawing you just made yet?
I probably should..

However.. The green area should be a little bigger than in my pic.
About half the "UU" should be red, and the other half green.
