Can you guys list the threatening jank in customs? Need to research since i'm entering the custom tournament next month.
I would like common tourney picks not characters barely anyone uses.
MK mains are too negative about customs. Its either MK himself not having braindead jank to help him out or the custom meta in general(im the 2nd one).
Shower me with your knowledge.
Stuff that can catch you offguard the first few times you see it that come to mind:
Dash Slash - Gives him something to escape juggles with a la Bouncing Fish/Monkey Flip, has no end lag on landing and makes a pseudo wavedash+lets him act instantly.
Kong Cyclone - Obvious.
Dark Fists - Frame 5 super armor, kills RIDICULOUSLY early. Huge disjoint above him (same as default upB but still), be very careful about challenging his recovery.
Snaring Aura Sphere - Suction effect + transcendent, can hit more than once.
Crescent Slash - Can kill really early off an fthrow; don't get grabbed.
Helicopter Kick - Kills HELLA early, combos off dthrow, fair, probably nair and maybe other moves, but only combos at lower percents.
Super Speed, Lightweight - Former is kind of like Spin Dash except she can grab out of it and it does crazy things to help her recovery (watch out for sudden lightspeed nair/uairs flying across the stage). Latter gives her really early kill combos off dthrow but makes her take x1.2 damage/kb, take her to FD if possible as there's a glitch where platforms can be used to bypass its cooldown.
Meteor Trampoline - Frame 3 spike. Custom fruit are probably worth learning about but I can't help there.
Heavy Skull Bash - Kills crazy early pointblank but has a ton of endlag and damage/kb drops off fast if not pointblank; don't try to get in his face predictably and it shouldn't be a problem.
Slip Gyro - Sliding Gyro that causes tripping. I think it's the least popular Gyro but it's still something to know about because it's different and weird.
Luma Warp, Shooting Star Bit - Former can drop Luma on your face near-instantly at a specific distance, but doesn't cover the inbetween and can be punished if you read it. Latter is a 3~4% projectile kind of similar to a Falco laser, but it isn't transcendent like other star bits so it loses to nairs etc. and is a ~50 frame commitment.
There's probably stuff to look out for here but I'm not well-read on Samus.
Power Vision - Stupidly powerful counter that can kill at basically any percent.
Hammer Spin Dash, Burning Spin Dash - Former adds a huge jump to spin dash, buries if it lands on you. Latter is fully intangible until he jumps/turns, but it stops on shield with a ton of endlag if he doesn't jump and the jump doesn't go very high.
Extreme Balloon Trip, Timber Counter - Self-explanatory at this point I think
Weighted Header - Watch out for it if recovering low.
Jumbo Hoops - Watch out for it in general.
General windboxes like (Dr.) Mario's Gust Cape and Ike's Tempest are kind of janky at first too I suppose.
