Start footstooling more. It's very underrated and underused IMO, and a fairly unexplored tactic in Brawl in general since people try to compare it to tripping.

What are the benefits? It gives you a potential extra jump while recovering. It also avoids a lot of landing punishments. I've been testing it out lately, and it's pretty ****. Don't overuse it, but it's better than getting ***** while landing every single time. Here are some examples...

Let's say you're playing vs DDD. You're about to land near him where almost anything you do is a guarenteed grab (pivot nade, aerial attack, air dodge). Just footstool him and you'll avoid the grab....Of course you need to be smart about it. You can get hit if DDD does an attack, but at low %'s it's a risk worth taking rather than getting grabbed to CG off stage. It definitely helps the mixup game.

If MK is nadoing below you, you can footstool the nado to easily avoid it and land away from MK before he can get to you. This can probably avoid rufios?

I'm just surprised at how much I don't see Snake's using footstool to avoid certain punishes. Let's see Snakes explore this more in 2011.

yea you are right.

Omni alway's mentions this to me whenever we play but never really cared.

Other snakes can def. utilize this **** technique though.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

But its so hard to get your opponent to be directly underneath you

 

[Bizkit047]

If they're not directly underneath you then chances are you can pivot nade to safety.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I'm making an accuse for why I do not footstool more. But yes, I do forget I have that option alot of the time. I have even wondered if you can footstool attacks. I see the CPU manage to get footstool like hits off of attacks. Pitting CPU against CPU... a lot of weird things happen.

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Bizkit is right. We should explore this more. We do need to step outside of the box for the next year.

 

[iKiLLOTz]

This sounds easier said then done.

But i have managed to pull this off (footstools) on the offensive side of things, and it seems more like something completely random

 

[napZzz]

I've seen ally use footstool at times, I've always wanted to try applying it but have been too lazy

 

[Omni]

My Snake sucks, but...

I footstool like a boss. **** is godlike vs. Metaknight/DDD. If they're not directly below you chances are they suck at keeping Snake off the ground in the first place.

 

[Underload]

And if you don't get the footstool animation, you still triple jump glitch (name?) up and get another opportunity to land farther away.

Just mashing X does open up a few options, I must say...

super fixed

 

[UltimateRazer]

Yeah I've been using it. Really helps in recovering. But a d3 can still utilt, mk can still uair, and it depends when and where the mk starts the nado because it can catch you so look at your opponent and predict what they are trying to do and follow accordingly.

 

[Attila_]

Out of interest, is an aerial footstool to fair a true combo? And is aerial footstool to jab lock a combo also?

You asked for it A new landing option! :3

 

[Underload]

The only sentence I could muster up was, "haha, that's ****ing ********!"

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Fair is amazing XD

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

After 2nd jump is gone, you can buffer footstools. Don't forget that.

Fair is indeed retardedly awesome :3

Yup, this is the only reason you'd want to footstool in the first place really otherwise you can just jump. You only really want to footstool if you used up your Cypher and have to land.

Also, yea MK/DDD can uair/utilt you, but in MK's case a lot of them like to wait for an air dodge to attack. So just footstool them instead. For DDD, if he tries to grab your landing, unless he does a well spaced pivot grab, you can footstool him to avoid the grab most of the time. None of this is guaranteed or anything, but it's a good mixup option nonetheless.

 

[Takeover1806]

Bizkit we don't need your unhelpful tips.

 

[Bizkit047]

Maybe you would beat me in the ditto if you followed my tips. D;

 

[Takeover1806]

lol I'm messing with you.

 

[Yumewomiteru]

I've being footstooling for a long time, it is ****. Some people would follow your footstool and try to punish that landing. In that case b reverse would be the best choice if you predict that.

 

[AfroTastic]

I heard bizkit got ***** by a falco at MLG.....

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I would like some biscuits and gravy.

 

[Bizkit047]

Can't beat Falco on laggy TVs. BC's Falco always beats me on laggy TV's too, yet his Falco hasn't taken a game off of me in like a year on regular CRT's.

 

[etecoon]

that's because bloodcross needs the light of an LCD TV to unleash his real power

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

That pic is epic.

 

[mikeray4]

I hope you try to footstool me tomorrow, I figured out how to **** that stupid thing you do

 

[TeeVee]

that's because bloodcross needs the light of an LCD TV to unleash his real power

LMFAO


10l

 

[So Fatal]

LMFAO Dallas Bizkit bairs and fully charged fmsash and Get ****.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I know this probably doesn't mean much or anything, but check out 5:50 it's some double Snake combo thing that involves alot foot stooling.

Edit: Can you possibly footstool Falco, or Fox if they're coming to usmash you when you landing?

Double Edit: T_T

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Why would you want to even think about challenging those moves? ESPECIALLY Fox's Up-Smash lol

 

[False]

Ralph there probably isn't a single person here who didn't see that Vid the week it came out lol

 

[Savon]

That vid never gets old though. Like seriously.
