the bomb: anti-grapplesave?

[XQF]

I was playing around in an endless game with one of my samus playing friends when i threw a bomb at his recovering samus. My friend is not a complete noob so he knows how to use the bomb recovery and the beam. i was edge bombing when he tried to throw his beam at the stage. the bomb was going to make contact at the very moment he began his beam move. because you catch projectiles in the air with z instead of a, he caught the bomb and proceeded to plummit to his death.

he wasnt in the mood to let me try it out a few more times to see if it could be perfected as a link v link/samus/YL edgeguard.

Wow, using that practically would take inhuman timing.

besides, if he saw the bomb coming he could probably just not press z, or press it earlier so that the bomb would hit him.

...this probably won't be useable but it sounds like a funny way to kill someone.

If your opponent caught the bomb, why didnt he just tap z two more times (drop then grapple)?

[Maliceschaos]

i think I would have been caught off guard and just fall the same as he did

Haha, one of those random funny ownage moments in Melee that will probably never happen again. The timing would just be way too strict.

You can only grapple once per standing on a stage, so really, if you get knocked off the stage after jumping and grappling with samus as some people do, and you don't touch the ground, you have no grapple and are f'd.
