Does anyone spike with Marth people onto stage then think to jab lock?

It works plenty of the time. Was just playing in training mode and picked up on it.

Known or not?

Yeah, after hitting them with dair there's at least 40+ frames before you can really do anything to them (i.e. be on the ground).

So yeah... you could get them with it... but eh if you get someone with a dair spike on stage, you're better off trying to read their roll direction then follow up.

I don't know if this fully works, but you can grab release Mk into a dair. Why not try to jab lock afterwards? Marth's dair spike has tremendous stun, which is why I think it's possible. Someone test this since I suck at dair spikes with Mk.

Yea, Marth's only reliable jab lock setup is knocking someone off a platform. Marth cannot jab lock MK after a grab release Dair.

yeah pierce too good



spike shouldn't work. i mean it DOES, but an opponent doesn't even have to tech. they can hold left or right or up and no void from this.


good thinking though, always good to try to make something up
