An in-depth look into Peach's uair string

[Corrupted]

IC chain grab is 100% timing. This is also being good using multiple controls at the same time, something you can only really learn with experience.

i did this to Fatal a while back, and he was like "WTF IS THIS?" and i said, "this is the **** that is peach"

@cHewE
I wouldn't say it's hard or as hard as their CG, it just takes practice to get the hang of it. Sort of like bonewalking.

 

[Razmakazi]

'cept faaaar easier than bonewalking if u just claw it! ;O

 

[Airgemini]

I tried clawing but it didn't work out for me.
Actually it's quite easy to get used to the normal set up if you practice a little.

 

[ApplesOfDoom]

will this make Peach top tier? :DDD?

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

I hate to sound skeptic but does this actually work?

Are you sure that DI and/or jumping out off this won't break the Uair chain?
Don't get me wrong, this idea is amazing but considering its already quite situational, it'd be nice to know if this 100% definitly works

 

[hotgarbage]

Yes, it is completely frame-guaranteed if done correctly .

 

[ApplesOfDoom]

this makes me want to switch to c-stick. it's so hard for me to do without it... :/

 

[deepseadiva]

Oh, rite. Apples b-sticks too! <3

Actually Apples, I found out awhile ago that you can perform floated aerials with the b-stick. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems totally in the realm of possibility that we can do this just like everyone else does it - with the claw method and everything. :D

OHGOD TELL ME MOAR!

I don't want to give up b-stick DD:

 

[deepseadiva]

You don't have to give up b-stick anyway. I tried doing it when this came out, and I threw out like five kicks without too much trouble just using the A button - though I haven't had a chance to replicate it. Point is, it's very doable without the c-stick.

We can use our b-stick too (probably)! I can't remember how exactly I was doing it (I did this like, 2 months ago), but I activated a float and I could occasionally punch out fairs, dairs, and whatever. Only floated aerials, and not yet consistently. I haven't had time to figure out the intricacies - but it's really exciting because this proves the b-stick accepts a-button inputs (like reverse bonewalking).

To perform the b-aerials though, you might need to activate a float via the b-stick. Remember how one of the inputs is jump for some reason? Use it to float, and then try aerials. I think that's how I did it.

I'll of course try it out later.

 

[ApplesOfDoom]

When I try doing this with just the A button, it's not fast enough and I usually tend to jump instead...

I'll try the b-aerial thing out, though. I hope that it works DD:

 

[Airgemini]

Do you have tap jump on or something?
I use the control stick + A and it works perfectly fine for me. It's pretty much muscle memory.

 

[Corrupted]

following sdi is harder when you haven't got the cstick for better control of aerial movement. especially when the uair can't be buffered.

 

[ApplesOfDoom]

I've done (or at least I think I have) the uair string on a level 9 cpu, but only using c-stick. With A-button I'm not fast enough...

 

[Razmakazi]

and i'm still hitting ppl w/ this in tournament coz i claw. but if you're like meno and can easily throw out 5 kicks in the chain then **** it, that's all you really need on most characters before you fh uair lol.

 

[$BONE$]

wooo. i wanna try this now that i have time. wtf is the advantage + numbers? i am so confused. did i miss something, can someone explain to me what that is???

 

[Praxis]

I still don't do this xD I keep accidentally usmashing.

 

[Gadiel_VaStar]

I can do the string in training mode(I know the decaying affects this), but I can't do it to characters in regular brawl. I've tried it vs MK on regular brawl, and he is always too far way after the 1st hit.

Am I not inputing fast enough or what?

I set this up w/ a low floating dair by the way. I think d-tilt may work as well.

 

[Roxas215]

Started practicing this the other day. It's very useful against falco/DDD. Got to get the hang of it along with bonewalking.

Why is peach so amazing?

 

[SPICyfriedpopsicles]

Thanks for the guide on this man, but it looks kinda SDIable...like many have said, but i'll have to test it.
Thanks again

 

[LanceStern]

spicy it's not SDIable, only the dair, and that doesn't need to be done to do this.

 

[Scaphist]

What about the hitbox of upair inside of Peach? Doesn't it knock the opponent forward and not up, so if you sdi'd inside of peach it might be possible to escape it early.

 

[BoTastic!]

I have such a hard time doing it. But I gotta master it.

 

[White-Peach]

I've been able to keep practicing it (without losing my mind) by switching R to jump. This also helps (me) with the BAir trap. I really dislike modifying the controls, but I never press R (right index finger only presses z if anything.)

I practice it a little every time I play in hopes that I'll be able to use it decently like boneSLIDING :D It's making me all weird, I'm like OH MAN I CAN UAIR HERE AND WRECK THAT STOCK :D

 

[Razmakazi]

if u claw, it will be easy. i swear to u guys.

srsly.

i'm gonna keep preaching it like i was preaching it when this was first posted.

just fuggin claw.

u shud get the hang of it easy since the uairs are just one smooth motion.

 

[White-Peach]

Changing R to jump is easier than clawing! Okay, maybe if you have big hands, clawing is easy, but I don't have the biggest hands!

 

[Scaphist]

Clawing just doesn't feel right. R to jump is the way to go. It also helps switching back and forth from melee to brawl(for me anyways).

The string isn't the hard part. I find it harder setting it up. The spacing and timing for the dair(you can't just do any dair and get and upair string) is tricky so I just try and upthrow and then try and bait an airdodge from below.

 

[Airgemini]

I can do it fine without any modifications.

ok, i guuuess my hands r decently big. kinda.

 

[Praxis]

I Rjump, Yspecial, and Notap.
I'm weird. D:

 

[BoTastic!]

what is clawing. o.O

 

[Praxis]

what is clawing. o.O

Look at his hand.

Compare to:

 

[BoTastic!]

Lol wtf. argh, Im sticking to the way I play xD.

 

[¿Qué?]

Hey! This is my first time on Smashboards, and I just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm not really inclined in all the terms yet, which I know is something I should be doing instead of looking at this thread.
I'm not a majorly serious Brawler, but I plan too be. The combo is insane! I really appreciate being able to look at such a nice piece of work! I just need to get myself a Wii and practice till my fingers bleed.

Thanks again!

 

[LanceStern]

I agree that clawing makes it very easy. I don't see how setting R to jump is easy because you have to click it to jump. Seems like it would mess my timing.

Anyone have thoughts or comments on the topic I mentioned about the UAir string having ftilt decay props?
