I just found this out yesterday, it's pretty ballin.

I don't have a vid yet, I'll try to soonish.

You need a lot of area to do this, generally most useful on FD. ROB normally can't dribble cause of his long glide toss, but if you do a forward toss forward roll glide toss with a banana you can recatch it as ROB's glide is fast enough to catch up to the banana he threw. So you get to move a really long distance very fast while keeping the banana. From what I've done with it so far it really helps the ROB Diddy matchup on FD. But it does still work on other stages as well.

I did this just the other day vs GNES by accident. I G-tossed a banana forward recaught it mid toss then G-tossed backward.. It was pretty dayum good.

CJT, that's what it sounds like... I remember when that first came out, and we thought it was really hard to get it consistently. I could explain it a little better if that's what this is

ive known this for a while. I thought this was old? you can also do it with your gyro if you weak glide toss it.

I was fooling around with this... and other banana mischief and found (when I say "found" I mean I just noticed it, not saying im the first to ever think of it) a cool lock with a single banana. I found it around mid percents (60%--??) on Captain Falcon (which was silly to do instead of Diddy... but whatever).

But, basically youve got a banana behind the opponent and d-tilt them. The d-tilt will knock them into the banana, and they'll trip. if its spaced right, the banana will fly *behind* them. Then don't immediately D-tilt, but wait until they get into that brief "sitting" animation before their get-up or animation, and do it again. It is kind of contingent upon the opponent tripping bc of your d-tilt, but it trips often enough for it to work with decent success. And, if you have 2x bananas under your control (rarely, but- it could happen) it makes it super easy.

Super situational, and only worth like... 25-28% all the way across FD. Just another little thing to know.

something kinda sorta barely like what you're saying dull...

if you ever see someone on top of a gyro its best to grab and pummel until they ground release, then the gyro will hit them right away and you have good follow ups...regrab or fsmash or something.
