Toon Link Recap - Week of 03/01/09

[Hyro]

Ok, I might do this every once in a while. I took everything we learned this week and put it in a video for anyone who wanted to see it visually. This week's vid has 3 things in it:

Slope Bombing by "Fox Is Only Deceptive"
100% Spike Combo by "Sean~"
&
Footstool Bomb Spike by me!

Last thing is something I just threw in. If you guys like it, lemme know and I can do this regularly.

WTF at Projectile thread being closed?

About the slope bombing. You can do it in one jump. Just pull out a bomb, Z-drop it on the way up of the jump, then dair before you land. You also don't need to jump into the hill. Other then that it's a cool vid, I especialy liked what you did with the spike combo.

I was just about to post this in the projectile thread, I went to post it when a message popped up to tell me It frigin doesn't exist. Why???? Why I ask. I grew up in that thread, From Noob to Child to Journeyman. This cuts deep man.

Fox out.

WTF at Projectile thread being closed?
idk.
im still trying to figure that out

[TheJerm]

Thanks for the dedication. And HR, I considered you to be one of my fav TL's.. next to quivo and santi. I actually met them irl. But anyways, the point is.. you ruined our relationship. OREOS>>>> CHIPS A HOY xD (lol jk, were still cool)

But seriously, about the ledge thing with the bomb. Its a good trick people. Any stage with a slope like that, just dair, then come out of it with bair after your slide. It works so well because most people are like "wtf, they can do that??"

kawii bunny-new to modding and she's cool with the toons, but is 'testing' out her powers

She's an IC moderator, and can only close threads in the IC boards :P

I know because she is unable to close threads in the Kirby boards and stuff

*watches the video*
*hopes it doesn't lag too bad on his crappy computer*

That video was epic. Well-done, entertaining, and useful.

I never knew that bomb slope thing.

What stages could it be useful on? Yoshi's Island (BARLW), Distant Planet (lol) various parts of Delfino Plaza, various parts of Pictochat... ?

But yeah, seriously awesome stuff. Good job Toon Links :P

Corneria to name another. You could look it up in the projectile thread, oh wait, someone locked it.

Man, I have no where to post my relatively useless information. Like for example I figured out that if you slope bomb, the bomb is sliding down the hill, and the sliding bomb touches your opponents shield (Even a little) The bomb jumps directly upwards for no reason. I swear it has a mind of it's own.
Also it is possible to reflect the sliding bomb, but if you do, two things can happen. If the bomb is sliding/grinding down the slope and you reflect it, the bomb will stop sliding. If the bomb is tumbling/rolling down the slope (still with the white aura) and you reflect it, the bomb will continue to slide but it will change sides so to speak, so now it won't explode on your opponent (unless of course it runs out of time) and it will randomly jump if it touches your shield.

Weird stuff.

I want the thread back. I can't keep posting in random threads and I can't make a new thread everytime I figure something out.

I like the video and the idea behind it, but isn't the footstool bomb spike old news? It's been known for ages that if you throw a bomb down at someone and spike immediately (assuming the bomb hits) it's a safe spike, it's also been known for ages that if you footstool someone and then immediately spike it's a safe spike, I don't really see why this is it's own combo. It basically has an extra step thrown in and therefore more room for mistakes.

Still, this is an EXCELLENT idea, don't take this as me hating on you.

Pretty smexy ',; )

I believe it is because it's relatively safe compared to the other methods. You can't be certain you'll get a footstool or the bomb will hit. This near-edge method will have a few things happen.

Your opponent shields, and your dAir bounces off the shield, and you could float away / aerial to safety.

Your opponent shields, and your dAir misses and hits the ground right next to them due to either the bombs knock back, miss judging, etc. You now have the "wind" effect of the dAir to thank for pushing them off the stage and allowing you enough time to reset your position.

Your opponent spot dodges from the bomb, and the dAir should hit if you still executed due to the time difference in the attacks, or you just don't dAir and wait/punish.

Your opponent gets hit by the bomb, and you spike them appropriately. Even if this somehow misses, you land on the stage. You do get punished, but you do not get 100% guaranteed death.

Roll-dodging past the bomb is the only problem I see. If they roll dodge past the bomb, and you dAir, you're in a ton of trouble punishment wise. But once more, it's still not a "guaranteed" death. Even at higher percents.

Well that's like saying bair combos are one thing. Spiking your opponent is another. Bair to dair combo is already known. :confused:

The thing is, if you footstool them, I'm pretty sure the bomb is guranteed to hit, and when the bomb hits, the spike is guaranteed.

Besides, the bomb spiking that has been known, has always been offstage, throw the bomb down then spike which is super super dangerous. And the foostool spike thing is irellevant since that has nothing to do with a spike, your just footstooling your opponent and dairing them.

[Rawrness]

That was VERY helpful thanks! You should keep doing these videos.
