Epic Awesome Really Tricky Hard But Overall Uhh… Nice Downair or EARTHBOUND

[@Andreecals]

I think the reason for the explosion not affecting ganon's upb is that ganon's move doesn't use a flame/explosion effect, instead it has the electric effect, which extends it's hitstun and duration, probably messing with the timing combination of both explosions and the knockback. it also has a different knockback angle from falcon dive... just guessing with the wiki, I can't really know xD

[@captainphoton1693]

The electric effect increasing hit stun isn't a thing in ultimate... Right?

[@user-jw2it4qf2r]

@@captainphoton1693 Yes but also no Electric moves still cause more hitstop than other moves, the frames where both characters are frozen when a character is hit so that the players have mental time to recognize what happened Turns out Ultimate's patch notes confusingly referred to hitstop as hitstun back when it still received updates despite hitstun being a different thing which means electric moves do affect "hitstun" but not the right hitstun, lmao

[@captainphoton1693]

@@user-jw2it4qf2r so I'm right with the comon language. XD. I know it has more hitstop. But in older games it also gave more histun.

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

@@captainphoton1693 Hey sorry to pull you back to this, but yeah I went wiki dwelling for a little bit. In smash 4 exclusively, electricity added exactly +1 frame of hitstun to the attack.

Im calling the Lucas Tech PSI Block. It's a reference to a move that Ninten learns in EarthBound Beginnings. It's a PSI move that blocks enemy PSI moves in the game, and here its a PSI move that blocks enemy moves

[@karlispovisils5297]

“PK Counter” is a real PSI move in Mother 3. Since you’ll often input an attack after going invincible, it can be considered a counter of sorts.

[@toastr1255]

I wonder if the difference between falcon dive and dark dive has to do with where they hold the explosive. Falcon holds it above and away from the target, so the explosion sends them downwards, while Ganondorf holds it more straight to the side, so the explosion sends them sideways

[@algotkristoffersson15]

Your previous “Anti Steve” tech, the Juicy Lucy is actually just as if not more useful against other characters in a team match with Steve as your ally. Scince you can actually co-ordinate with him to set it up.

[@trainershade1937]

From what I can gather, the reason Falcon Dive launches at that weird angle whenever a held explosive goes off is due to the animation of the move. You can see that the hand holding the item is higher than the attack's "origin", thus it sends downward. Meanwhile you have Ganondorf's Dark Dive animation, which appears to put both of his hands at roughly the same vertical height, so there wouldn't be any changes to the angle.

[@RealGhostface-y9b]

I'll call this the IJSMPT Short for the I Just Shat My Pants Tech

So the Up Smash Cancel is actually really similar to a tech found in many other fighting games called 'Kara Cancelling', where you interrupt the start-up of a normal with a special/grab. Usually you want to use either a normal with quick forward movement or invincibility. You can see the idea of cancelling a far-reaching normal into a grab in most street fighter games, as an example.

[@just-linx8271]

You can actually Kara Cancel with Ryu and Ken too in this game. Down Smash can be canceled into specials without hitting anything if you do it on certain frames.

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

@@just-linx8271 So does Terry! Canceling jab 2 into any special is an incredibly common combo tool that you see comp terry do alot. Wiki says that only these 3 bros got access to Kara canceling, and its sick that they implemented this into their kit. Kazuya didnt get it because (to my knowledge, I dont play it) Tekken doesnt really have Kara. It's no kara-buster, but it's still awesome.

[@just-linx8271]

@@sicklysweetdenouement I know you can chain into specials. You're saying jab 2 for Terry can be kara'd into an input? Doesn't seem that useful because it doesn't step Terry forward enough to give him extra range. You might as well either land it and then normal cancel into an input special or just use the input special by itself. Kara cancels for Ken and Ryu are better because they can do it off of down-Smash, so Kara-ing into a Tatsu makes them fling forward because the game incorrectly thinks they are further forward than they actually are, even more so on Ken. Edit: Alright, so I looked it up, and you are somewhat correct. Terry can Kara-Cancel from d-tilt, f-tilt, u-tilt, and three aerials (which are all but one of Terry's cancelable moves). Jab2 is *not* one of these. You can normal cancel out of it, but you can't Kara Cancel out of it. Not that you'd want to anyway, you might as well just do the input special by itself.

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

@@just-linx8271 Aight so now I just checked, and now we're both somewhat correct. Jabs 1 and 2 CAN be kara'd, but the combo I was thinking of was people interrupting Jab 3 normally into F or U specials. Jab 3 cant be kara'd, but it doesnt seem to matter since its a true combo anyhow. The only actually real Kara-based combo I can think of now is F-tilt into F-special.

Something that tends to work for Pokemon names is if you're reading the name that's used in English versions of the game, just pronounce it the way an American would be likely to read it. It's usually right because they're usually just English words smashed together. Even the weird-looking ones usually are. Examples: Smear + beagle = Smeargle. Sable + eye = Sableye.

14:07 this combined knockback this is not explosion specific. Ice climbers have it happen often when connecting both hits of fair. it sends at a similarily nasty angle because it's both the spike and the non spike.

Village's tree changes size in the pot. I dont think the size of the tree changes its damage and knockback output though, but it's really funny to see that the tree stays small even when you break the pot it is trapped in.

[@souris_a_boule5695]

For the Lucas tech I think we can call it up smash kara cancelling. It it an advanced tech that can be used in more traditionnal fgc. Basically a kara cancel is when you can cancel the startup of a move by another. Normaly it is implemnted by the devs to allow a player to correct the inputs if you are not frame perfect. For example if for a move you have to press 2 buttons at the same time, there is a chance that the player will not press both of them exacly at the same frame, so what will happen is the game will cancel the startup of the move by the one you wanted. But player quickly found out that some move can have interesting properties on the startup (fowrard momentum, invincibility etc). Example is chun li in street fighter 3 3rd strike where she can cancel the start up of one of her kick whick have a lot of forward momentum into her grab, so she will basically have a huge range grab (and we call it kara throw) What Lucas is doing is exaclty the same thing. Using an intersting property of a move to enhanced another one. There is an incredible video explaining kara cancelling in fighting games: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5uUc2CXZpemhrc

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

Not sure about this one since Kara Cancelling is actually implemented in the game, seperate from interruptibility. Ryu, Ken, and Terry all have it on many of their moves, and Terry in particular pretty much always cancels Jab2 into a special of their choice.

[@Kingbee642]

I think that a good name for Lucas' tech would be "invincibility cancel", I think it just fits

[@wildmonkeycar]

I wonder if any moves that update a character's stats would also be affected by the pot's size change? Thinking Shulk's Monado Arts and WFT's Deep Breathing It's possible this occurs because the pot has a flag that tells the game to update the size, without updating the stats, and then a stat update causes the code to recognize the size change again, which *should* mean that anything that directly changes the stats of an opponent should cause this glitch

12:28 Spirits that give movement buffs behave VERY differently from the bunny hood item. For some reason it's SPECIFICALLY the bunny hood (and I think spicy curry too) that NERF movement buffs inside a fighter's kit. Spirits don't do that. They're way too goated. Spirits do nothing but BUFF. Acceleratle? Slap on 4 antigravity spirits and walking could lead you to your death on big blue. That's how ridiculously fast you get. Same with jumping, sort of. Full hops become much shorter than short hops with spirits once you stack enough of them, which is weird. But yeah, long story short: spirits behave differently from the bunny hood and they don't nerf acceleratle, deep breathing, monado arts or whatever else. Bonus: as pyra and mythra you can slide extremely far if you run and then down-b You can easily go through other people that way too.
