You can Bomb Jump!..

[Zaprong]

...Only on the ground, for like 6-7 bombs before you return to normal.

How will this affect the meta?

I believe may be a lot, may be not, just found this out in training mode.

My first impression was to catch ledges on the first frame of vulnerability, since bomb explosions last for 18 frames I believe?
That was my first impression.

It'd definitely be interesting to see how it could/would be utilized for high level play. If at all possible that is... (maybe it'd be favorable against a few characters as some sort of edgeguard thing???)

Honestly, that is probably what I will do. I am not too fond of Samus' taunts. And if I already have a full Charge Shot, I have nothing better to do.

Yeah, that's how I use this. Samus's taunts are terrible, so I have to be creative.

There's not much of a point to the grounded bomb jumps otherwise.

 

[Tonetta]

samus has a really good uptaunt for respect, but why waste time taunting when you can be charging your lasers or spamming bomb tech?

I'm not sure why I failed at doing this when the game first came out... I swear I tried.... patches..? Unlikely, I probably had just no skill then.
Irrespective, how high can you go? It's just timing right? Really precise timing to gain height?
If it can be maintained indefinitely, it's very important for off-stage. Off-stage timeout and off stage deep horizontal recovery.

I'm fairly certain that's only possible because of the floor preventing the bombs from going any lower. That's why it can only be maintained for so long. You get too high up in the air and the floor then becomes too low.

It requires Frmaperfect timing the first bomb, but after that you can keep spamming downb.

Awww. Come on! Give it a chance.

Im thinking that if you go and do it and the ledge and wait for the last bomb to hit the opponent on first frame vulnerability and break the chain for a Dair it would work in theory.

I think even get up options work because they cannot hit you nor normal getup because of the bomb, if they roll you can move and Dair, and if they jump you can just Dair in place.

Havent experimented as much because Im having a lot of lag lately online and I dont have an scene near me.

I do this when I come across a person on FG that refuses to approach, I can't see it having any use competitvely though

Dude NO!
Perfect Pivot -> Downtaunt is godlike!

I once tried to learn how to perfect pivot. Gave up after like 10 minutes. Is it really that important?

 

[Xygonn]

You can bomb jump forever if you move a bit off center

Perfect Pivot -> Shield, PP -> Charge Beam and PP -> Fsmash are really useful tools.

I'd recommend learning it, it's not that hard honestly

I suppose I have no skill either, because I have tried this multiple times myself, and have failed. However, I just attempted it in practice mode, and I pulled it off. I can't imagine this came with the 1.1.0 patch, but a mere oversight seems unlikely too.

As for height, unfortunately it doesn't go any higher than in the video from the OP. At least as far as I can tell.
