Fox - Jab Lock Setups

[@psymyster]

I'd love to see more videos like this. Very informative :)

[@darylsdog9521]

This is amazing you earned a sub!!

[@nkaprototype]

+Andrew Simmons Appreciate that! Expect more of these as early as next week :)

[@mdabedin3592]

There's also forward throw to falco laser custom which leads to a twisting fox.

[@thespentaz98]

F tilt can get 3 hits in, also Fox's down air can jab lock but it's incredibly situational, i've never seen anyone do it, but i did it once on accident and have learned it since. very good video though dude.

[@nkaprototype]

+thespentaz98 All jab lock moves as long as you don't leave their respective percent ranges can get up to 3 hits in. The issue is that Fox sends his opponent far when he Ftilts. You can perfect pivot into another Ftilt, but as we all know that isn't the easiest thing to do. As for the Dair, I'll test it out. I will probably update this Fox guide when I start to pump more of these out. Thanks for the compliment too :D

[@trevorwrldon7028]

dair can jablock but not the landing hitbox only hits 2-5 jablock. you can only use it on platforms

[@celam07]

This is amazing. Thank you for this video. Question: Can this work with a regular ftilt instead of the low ftilt you kept doing?

[@nkaprototype]

+celam07 Depends on the character. Some characters have incredibly small hitboxes while on their back/front. If you are too far, a regular/up angled ftilt might miss. If you're right in front though, it will always connect, regular or angled. I'm happy to help. I should be pumping more of these out soon enough. First up is Mario. Already have the footage, just gotta edit. Expect it this weekend!

[@trevorratchford3768]

Really cool stuff! Can you do a Luigi video for this?

[@nkaprototype]

+Trevor Ratchford I've been slacking on keeping this channel updated. I do plan on starting back up once school is done and stuff (so May latest). Mario is definitely gonna be next, but I'll see if I can get a good compilation for Luigi started.

[@jacobrivera2913]

Don't blame you for missing this one, it's not very obvious. When you're very close to/touching your opponent you can down tilt, dash forward, and short hop nair and it will lock. Obviously the opponent can tech after the down tilt launches them, but if you hit them with the hitbox of down tilt closest to Fox it sends them at a very low angle. It works from exactly 45%-60% on Mario, but I haven't tested any other characters. Timing the neutral air is a little tricky, and you'll need to fast fall it, but it's pretty stylish when you pull it off. Thought I'd let you know, and maybe you'd want to make a video covering it? Your Fox tech looks really solid. Keep it up!

[@nkaprototype]

+Jacob Rivera I appreciate this! I haven't posted anything for a while due to life (6 months I think) and there have been enough patches to warrant an update video.

[@jacobrivera2913]

+nKa ProtoType You should go for it! Patches always warrant an update. Rip Fox's jab combo

[@nkaprototype]

Darn shame. On the plus side, with the new increase to hit-stun, I bet a lot more combos could work. TO THE LAB!

[@BlueboySSB]

You can also re-grab and do it again

[@alboumcinen5623]

Nice vid

[@ZappBranniglenn]

Cool idea for a series. Be sure to use my Jab Lock thread for a broader list of moves that will work. I spent a lot of time working on it. smashboards.com/threads/jab-locking-in-depth-research-and-discussion-update-new-format.400425/

[@nkaprototype]

Glennjamin Glutton I REALLY appreciate this! Testing individual percents for the entire cast is a pain and this saves me some time. It also helps for the characters I am less familiar with, like Robin. Thanks, I will definitely be using this! If I find anything for the new characters, you can be sure I'll post there.

[@trevorwrldon7028]

i know this video is old but up b is not the optimal punish. also you can get 3 f tilts just by walking closer after each hit.

[@reyreytice9]

What is the optimal punish?

[@trevorwrldon7028]

you can do a full hop dair into sh upair into full hop upair. each upair does 16 % and dair does 5%

[@RuthlessShadowGamer]

What about full hop dair into footstool then landing weak nair for another reset?

[@billclinton4913]

Wow looking back smash 4 is WiErD as

[@tjpokomo]

good tech. must be careful however. dthrow > fair > uair is confirmed on many chara from 0 percent. dthrow > ff fair = teched. then you have only done about 10% instead of a free 31%

[@ledwardjevy3473]

nice bid man

[@trioladej]

I want to see more of these videos by you.

[@nkaprototype]

+Thomas Fatzinger Sorry for being AFK for like 8 months. I do plan on starting up sometime this coming month, though. First character up is probably gonna be Mario, Capt. Falcon or Falco

[@trioladej]

+nKa ProtoType awesome. Any of those would be sweet. I'm especially looking forward to a luigi one if you get around to it. jab locks are something I'm having a lot of trouble practicing, this fox one helped a lot.

[@lpkzc]

Can you do lucario next? I haven't seen anyone really get any jablocks with him.

[@nkaprototype]

+lpkzc I don't mind, but there are a few technical issues with that. First, I haven't had time to do pretty much anything recently due to time restraints. Second, the one you probably care about, is that Lucario doesn't have the greatest of jab lock setups. They are almost all based on reads and are character dependent due to his Neutral B being his best move to jab lock. That being said, once I start posting videos again, you can look forward to one. Sorry!

[@nicholastozzi]

Why did you stop making these

[@ItsAbram]

Is fox's down throw nerfed because I can't get close enough to the character

[@nkaprototype]

+ItsAbram The set up was never actually guaranteed. It could always be DI'd. However, dash grabs + pivot grabs give you enough momentum to get close enough. Bigger characters are easier to hit, of course. Floatiers are harder. That's why I used Charizard: Floaty + Big.

[@pendalink]

if you rar bair out of down throw at low % you can start to get some people to try to di the throw up, although with fox you never should

[@MDGboyy]

whos watching in 1991?

[@toast4177]

fucking rip

[@toast4177]

***** okay good, jab lock into dsmash or upsmash is his best set up
