YYG help

[Viking Ness]

So I've been working on my Ness and I'm trying to get the YYG down. How do I know when I did it correctly? Whats the easiest thing to do to test? Is it one of the jackets? Or the deadline or whatever its called?

Thanks

Tyr doing it in training mode. After you think you have done it, do NOT move. Open the training mode menu and spawn any item you can hit 9bombs, shells, freezies). If the item is hit while you are still in the menu, you have done it.

As for real battles, there is no real way to tell. Just try to go for anything and hope you did it. IMO, spike jacket and deathlines are easiest.

What do you mean: "If the item is hit while you are still in the menu, you have done it." Do they hit the hitbox on the ground and rebound/explode?

Well, if you YYG, a trapbox is set at you feet right? If you stay still after YYGing and spawn an item in training mode, it spawns at your feet. When it does, if the item can be hit, it will be since it has just spawned onto a hitbox. It will be hit while you are still in the training mode menu.

Ok I'll try that. Thanks

Ok, So I'm trying to hit it on a fox. I get him to about 50 or something and down throw him and try to hit him with the yo yo on his way down. Is this a good idea? Is there a better way to practice?

Is this against a cpu or a real opponent?

 

[Viking Ness]

CPU. In Training mode

I'd say, Viking, that Downthrow technique isn't the best way to practice.

~Stand almost a yoyo away from Fox [not too far away!]. Use the Up+Smash on Fox (and if Ness was at the proper distance from Fox, Fox should have popped up to a considerable height), and keep charging it until Ness flashes yellow once; then release the yoyo. The yoyo should have hit Fox only once. If everything was spaced and timed properly, a hitbox will drop on the ground. Usually, the trapbox will be found on the area of the floor just in front of Ness’s feet. Having the proper distance and timing can be tricky, so practice!

And then do the "spawn an item" check.

I was just trying the down throw cause that was in the Simna guide and thats all I could find to go by.

I'll try it, thanks. Whats a good damage for fox to be at?

If you space yourself properly, Fox can be at any damage and still get popped up to a considerable height (enough for the yoyo to only hit him once). ^_^ Remember, spacing is the most important thing here. And then timing.
