Don't let Shuton dairing a pikmin distract you from the fact that Marth created three "El Tech de Jesús" situations between two different games.

[@zacharyjohnson9562]

I wonder if the actual position of the pikmin on Ricter effected the chance or hight of the dair.

[@Jardonius]

@@zacharyjohnson9562 I think it does. To my knowledge the placement of pikmin on the body determines what move you have to do to get them off of you. Pretty sure they kept that rule in Ultimate, though I don't really play it much.

[@maximoleon3110]

@@Kelsang01 I know I'm months late, but let me explain. There's usually 2 TOs at tournaments. Tournament Organizers and Tecnical Operators. One of them, allong with the stream director, are focussed only in the stream hood and ads, and therefore don't see the sets around the begining and end of the matches. As they are in separated monitors from the stream, they just change the score acording to the director yelling. This is a great example of a good stream managment, since they had everything allready set for the next match, even though they were wrong. lol.

[@NetConsole]

MVC, not really. They're much harder to do in SM and you don't gain height by doing it in Melee like you do in SM. Edit: Disregard that, those PM ones are pure SM, but not the Melee ones. Damn, those must be much harder to do on a control stick than on a d-pad.

[@SlunkyBoi]

Ok they were all amazing but imo the best one was the samus zdropping peach's turnip and then spamming down b. That's the most situational insane thing I've ever seen in this game lmao.

[@nahor88]

I was playing against a Peach one time as Ganondorf in PM. I caught two of her turnips and managed to make it back by glide-tossing them, which I'm really good at cuz I main TL/Link, lol.

[@researchinbreeder]

In Ultimate, Ganon can actually turn Link's Remote Bombs against him. Normally getting anything off Flame Choke missed tech is either kinda weak for dtilt/ftilt, or requires a strong read. But you can throw the bomb fast enough that it jablocks, which is at worst a free d-smash. And if they DO tech, then its not like you made a huge commitment in throwing the bomb; if they tech in place they still get hit at least, and you can pick the bomb back up as a reaction to tech rolls. Inb4 "BuT wHat If tHeY gETup attaCk?"

[@researchinbreeder]

As a note to the above: Turnips stop locking before DSmash kill%, metal blade doesn't seem to lock for me, and banana has better uses than flame choke jab locks. Everything else either is too strong to lock, sends out instead of locking, or explodes. Unless I missed something pretty rare, like if Ganon ever gets his hands on a Levin Sword or something.

[@JB-ng1mg]

@researchinbreeder were your 2 comments just because the OP said it was "the most situational insane thing I've ever seen in this game" ? Because none of the stuff you said has anything to do with recovering, and nobody mentioned jab locks Excuse me if I sound rude, that is not my intention
