There's hitstop when Zard encounters the Aura Sphere before the hitstop Lucario takes when Zard collides, so Lucario isn't just getting caught in the explosion. Zard can be seen to stop briefly, then continue through and strike Lucario.
The last point is a huge exaggeration. It kills at least 40% earlier than that fresh and near the ledge against pretty much the entire cast barring the heaviest characters (in training it kills Bowser at around 110% and that excludes freshness bonus).
What other projectiles are we talking, because Flare Blitz on contact deals roughly 19-ish%, & yet it gets stopped by a 4% Aura Sphere. That's just not right. In a decent set mind, Flare Blitz I would think could easily outprioritize a measly Baby Aura Sphere from a Lucario who has little to no Aura atm. That's just depressing.Even in the version we have now, I've often noticed that Charizard can get knocked out of Flare Blitz by certain projectiles that it can usually armor through and it always happens after half the travel distance. I always just assumed that the super armor is only active 60-70% of the way after he starts flying. Basically I think it goes like this
1. Start-up where you have no super armor
2. The first 60-70% of the flight, you have super armor
3. 60%-95% OR 70-95% you have no super armor
4. 2% of the flight you only deal some pathetic 4% fire damage and pass through the enemy without falling down (there's a certain point where you just seem to pass through the enemy near the end of the flight)
5. The last 3% is Charizard finishing his flight so he doesn't damage the enemy and just passes through them
Looking at the video, I'm not sure about the distance because I'm used to the 3DS maps but I think that's about half of Flare Blitz's usual travel distance which is the point you can get knocked out of Flare Blitz. Later on, we see the super armor active when it collided with the aura sphere when it was definitely within 50% of Charizard's travel distance. Of course I can be wrong about the distance and they lowered the time you have super armor too which sucks.
For me, Flare Blitz has always been stopped by projectiles after a certain travel distance and I always play while taking into consideration how far I am and will super armor be active. I think it was Samus' uncharged shot that brought it to my attention. It was such a small shot so I was surprised that it managed to stop my blitz when I assumed I'd armor through it. I was really far from Samus when it happened so I figured it was distance related.
I detected the sarcasm from a mile away. " Kills at 140 fresh near ledges" is wrong regardless.
Sorry about the post. I was just stating how I am slightly disappointed at the move. It didn't really have anything to do with the topic.
Don't you mean you detected the sarcasm from a Flare Blitz away?
I feel for you, Zard's Flare Blitz honestly should be powering through any tiny projectile at any time during FB's lunge of flight, except for the Flare Blitz's start-up maybe.
Nair still does, you need to fullhop it.
I mean I was greedy for a fair that auto canceled at all points. And what mean Nair auto canceled on full hop? Wasnt it lagless when done off of rising short hop?
Kind of.
I have a hard time believing those numbers. Perhaps I accidentally stale everything or VI just makes things so much harder to kill, but good to have a list like that. I had no idea how powerful Usmash is. Does FD have a really low ceiling or what? I can't believe those vertical kill %.
