Weird DACUS

[ttocs]

Tonight I DACUSed using just the control stick and A. I was coming out of a fair or bair, can't remember, and was chasing with a dash attack. But I ended up over rotating my stick and I somehow dacused without even touching the c-stick or any other button.

It's possible my finger tapped the Z button (I have it set to attack) but I found it really weird and kind of infuriating that I did one of the hardest things to pull off in all of brawl.. on complete accident. And whenever I WANT to dacus I never can ;_;

Could you have buffered the DA then done the upsmash?

That's strange.

Maybe you double tapped A? I dont know if that works, but unless you pressed Z, i dont think it would be possible to do that.

A few days ago I just woke up one night and lo and behold I could DACUS consistently. 9 times in a row. I used this new found ability to learn how to time it quickly before it stopped working, and I can get it like, one in two times now.

I think the problem people have is that they hit up and A too early. Try waiting a little longer after hitting C-stick down.

What usually happens when you try to dacus? d-air, regular upsmash, dash attack, etc... I can help you out.

I always just end up dash attacking. When I'm messing around in training mode or when people need to pause I'll just push them to the edge and unpause and practice it, and I can get it over half the time

it's just in matches i can rarely do it.

I don't claw so I blame part of the difficulty on that

I find the claw really helps. For me anyway.

If you're dash attacking then you're hitting up+A too late.

It's possible you are hitting it too early too. Do you hit C-stickdown and Up+A roughly at the same time? There should be a brief pause after c-stickdown.

I think it's only useful to get to the edge of the stage quickly so you can edgeguard.

What are all the button-press methods of doing a DACUS?
Like, does doing a dash attack with A and then pushing up on the C-Stick work?
Or is it just the C-Stickdown + Up+A thing...

Since using Up+A usually causes a jump with tap-jump on, I wanted to find another method of doing the DACUS.

Check the guide.

If you're posting on it you might as well tell him...

DA then quickly follow with up and Z

 

[Squidster]

z must be set to attack. you can also use l / r set to attack. Or c stick and a.

 

[-Mars-]

z doesn't have to be set to attack, just use the a button.

i agree with the buffer statement, sounds like it got buffered in this situation
