A collection of jab locks and footstools

You can DI a jab lock, right?
Yes you can, very little though. It is enough for you to possibly miss on later jabs.


Do footstool combo's really work? Can you use them in a match?
Footstool combo's are situational. In other words you need to make a situation that they can work in.
As like all combo's some work and others don't. Read below to see what does work and what doesn't.



Should I learn a footstool combo.
This is a dumb question. "Of course you should!"



What are all of the ways to set up a jab lock?
You can footstool someone, fast fall a sex kick and begin a jab lock.
You can knock someone off the of a platform and begin a jab lock.
You can trip someone with an attack and begin a jab lock.
You can footstool someone, Dair cancel to a platform and begin a jab lock.



Character's that have Jab Lock Combo's!

How to perform.
You can perform u-tilt> Bair or just Bair. Basically you just footstool after a Bair has been performed and follow up with a Dair.

*notes* Just listen to the video.

footstool combo's-

Bomb thrown down> footstool> FF Nair> jab lock
Boomerang> jab lock (the set up works at 999, it only stops works because they get knocked back to far from jab)
u-tilt on above shielding opponent> jab lock
jab someone off of a platform> jab lock
jab into returning Boomerang> jab lock
bomb thrown down> FF Arrow> jab lock
Boomerang> arrow> new set up
Bair first hit> FF Nair> jab lock (not a true combo)
Zair> footstool> FF Nair> jab lock
Bair> footstool> jab lock (character dependent)
AAA combo against a wall> jab lock (can be teched)
when you have invincibility frames you can throw a bomb down> footstool> FF Nair> jab lock
Zair> d-tilt spike> jab lock
boomerang> arrow> DACUS
boomerang> footstool> jab lock
jab> footstool> FF Nair> jab lock
jab lock to the edge> d-tilt spike
bomb> returning boomerang> footstool> jab lock
bomb drop> d-tilt spike> jab lock
jab lock> d-tilt spike onto stage from platform> fall through platform> jab lock
boomerang> Fair> jab lock
bomb draw> footstool foe on ground> bomb throw down> footstool jab lock
bomb draw> footstool foe on ground> bomb throw down> footstool> Dair
F-Throw> returning boomerang> jab lock

At any time you can reverse the footstool.

*notes* OMG, the ammount of footstool options that Link has and the fact that one footstool= death makes him the best footstooler in the game. The above is proof that Link is high tier quality.

footstool combo- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16YRH0gueDE&fmt=18 credit- ESAM

How to perform.
You use D-Throw, Uair, footstool, QAC and repeat (whether is be the whole process or the QAC).

*notes* Pikachu's f-tilt and jab also jab lock.

footstool combo- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOLuUHJVHaU&feature=related credit- JeepySol

How to perform.
You perform Pound/u-tilt, footstool, fast fall Fair/Nair (weak hit), jab lock and finish it with Bair> Rest/FSmash/Pound/DSmash.

*notes* This can be escaped by a roll or a DIing the Dair.






Marth

A thread is needed.

Marth footstool spike- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjKG4amJJ6E credit- SHOK

How to perform.
The video is crystal clear. You jump on people's head so it lines them up for Marth's tipper spike.

*notes* Not much to say. Just implement it when you can.






Wolf

Nair Lock- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_dsnSjCmb8 credit- Candy

How to perform.
When you perform Uair it auto cancels allowing you to footstool and fast fall a Nair. After that you can simply repeat it.

*notes* This comb also allows you to finish with FSmash. You can also reperform Uair. So the following is possible:
Uair> footstool> FF Nair> Uair> footstool> FF Nair> repeat (you get the idea)






Ness

footstool combo's- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1N0D0SdIr4 credit- Earthbound360

How to perform.
The whole idea is to footstool and follow up with an additional attack. One of these is a PK Thunder which sets up for a jab lock.

*notes* The timing is pretty strict, but after that it is easy to perform. Also, I believe that the foe can tech after the PK Thunder.

u-tilt at low % (character dependent) -> jump -> footstool -> psi magnet (cancels footstool upwards momentum) -> jab lock across stage

SLOW Combo (Sonic Loop Of Win)- (watch 1:51) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZMuACATcWc#t=1m51s credit- IDK

How to perform.
You use Down B, jump when hitting them, footstool and repeat until either you run out of stage or you run into an obstacle.

*notes* This is a rather effective technique. Nothing else to note but praise.

footstool combo- (watch 6:13) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4TaJd8uwWg credit- IDK

How to perform.
Perform Dair to spike people onto the stage, fast fall, do ca couple of d-tilt's and follow up with DSmash/FSmash/PK Thunder.

*notes* The foe can tech the Dair.

How to perform.
You use either F-Throw, B-Throw or D-Throw, footstool them with Nana and follow up with an Ice Block. At this point you can either repeat Ice Blocks or you can repeat the grab.

*notes* The last two are true infinite's. If they get out of it it is either because you messed up or you ran out of stage.

It looks good so far. Maybe you could also add what moves do characters have that can jab lock?

You forgot Mario's sexy ( Up Throw + Jab Lock + Forward Smash ) on Luigi's Mansion. It's not really a combo, but it's probably the most reliable.

sasook said:

The Link info is a little incorrect, and incomplete. Link does not have to blow himself up to footstool off the opponent, he can SH over them and throw the bomb down and then footstool.

Another way to set up his jab lock is to fthrow into a returning boomerang, or jab combo into a returning boomerang. Lastly, Link does not have to finish with a spin attack. He can finish the jab lock with any move he wants.

If you want more info about Link, go to the AiB Link boards. The Links had a huge fight with the mods a while back and moved there. You'll find all the Link info there, and thats also why the SWF Link boards are pretty dead. On the AiB boards, there's a sticky by Oddler titled Important Threads. In there, you'll find a video on how to set up jab locks for Link. I'd give a URL, but I'm on my phone.

On a side note, you CAN DI a jab lock. Not much each hit, but enough such that you can cause your opponent to mess up because you're out of range after a few hits.

NAKEDeDeDe said:

The Ice Climbers would be good to add.

• Ice Block lock

• Dthrow > Nana Fair (missed tech on higher percents) > Ice Block lock (for some reason I think this may not work...I dunno, it's late)

• Hobbling

• Etc.

KawaiiBunny from the IC guide said:

Hobbling is the technique in which you f/d/b/u-throw them, footstool your opponent, and once they fall onto the ground, you're able to use Ice Shot to them, forcing them to stand
up instead of rolling and get-up attacking. Hobbling has 4 different throws you're able to do, the f-throw, d-throw, b-throw, and the rare u-throw. Some are quite easy to do, mostly for b-throw, making u-throw the hardest, and each character possesses different timings (of course).

It should be noted that Hobbling is slower than the other chaingrabs because of the low damage output, and the fact that you have to wait for Nana to catch back up after Hobbling someone. Also, the Ice Blocks can be SDI'd.

Link is looking better, the only qualms I have left is that it still says Link must finish with a spin attack, whereas he can actually do any move.

Also, that vid I was talking about should really be put for him (seriously it's amazing). Again, I'd provide the URL but I'm on my phone.

Dunno why Sasook hasn't mentioned it, but ZSS has her infinite on ROB and a similar combo on Snake, Bowser and DDD.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCAaOhH6UUg&fmt=18 - ROB infinite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzFsquu3kaU&fmt=18#t=3m22s - footstool -> dair combo on Snake and Bowser. There was a better explanatory video somewhere out there, but I don't know where it is.

Technically, she can also "jab lock" with dash attack and ftilt.
