The Elusive Fair Spike

[Xsyven]

So, being the retarded player that I am, I can't figure out how to get the fair spike to work flawlessly.

I know it's not exactly the best tactic with IC's, but there's nothing more satisfying than a nice spike.

Teach me, IC fiends.

the only time i do a fair spike, is with nana off of the f/d-throw... it usually works...

[N1c2k3]

Have you ever done a reverse fair spike, w/Nana throwing and you spiking? It's sex incarnate...

[chu12ch]

naw, but ever since i've heard about the edge infinite, i've been intrigued, but cant seem to do it...

time the grab with the little noise they make while throwing.
that's how i do it.

[Xsyven]

Well, I want to do it to people just... recovering. No grabbing or anything.

[chu12ch]

i cant get that to work... i usually just use bair instead...

You have to hit with the tip of the hammer when the Icy swings it down. If you want a really good demonstration on how to spike with it,

Watch that. Chu does a beautiful Ganon edgeguard with that move and the dtilt.

umm if your at the edge and manage a grab try P dsmash (nana jumps)> N fair, it should work. but i dont know how to do it without that lol
