Drop Kicking--SPIKE FOUND! Vid Soon

[Chaco]

Okay so I PM'd this to Scat but he wasn't on. So, I found an interesting little thing with Yoshi this morning. I've been testing it for about an hour now. But I've only tried it on Ganon so far. It's a fast fall nair, which happened to angle spike...three times.

At the peak of Yoshi's first jump you Nair and hold down on the control stick, it bring Yoshi down very quickly with a nair. At the percentage 176% it angle spiked. But at low percentage on the ground it makes a lengthy push back.

So here's what you want to do:

Jump over your opponent Nair, and hold down on the control stick, you want you body to land on them though...not the Foot.

I repeat the BODY not the foot.

So I'm going to test this more but I though I'd share my progress.

And BTW sorry Scatty, the other way led me to this.

 

[Chaco]

If it catches on as a tech I'm think either YDK or FFN. Yoshi Drop Kick or Fast fall nair, the practical name..XD

 

[Chaco]

Does 6% damage and the higher their percentage the more knockback slide it causes.

 

[bigman40]

heh, it's okay. I wasn;t around to check anything (was at work). I'll mess around with this while I mess with DR some more.

 

[Chaco]

Yeah I kinda mislead you, so I'm sorry about that...but moving on.

 

[Shiri]

I'll be testing this, too. Sounds nasty. :D

The question is if this can reliably semi-spike at reasonable damages and if the knockback is at least somewhat dangerous for the victim of this technique.

If we name it, it should just be called a drop kick. LOL, what's more threatening than getting hit by a technique called "THE DROP KICK", ROFLLLL!

Yoshi is going Steven Seagall on this hoes!

 

[bigman40]

lol shiri XD

 

[Chaco]

XD Shiri.

The knockback sliding only works until 96% on smaller characters.

 

[Shiri]

Works for me. Time to test and start looking for applications. ^_^

 

[Mr Mattastic]

What about the ChacoKick?

 

[Chaco]

XD That's a little conceited.

Update: Works on all chars until 96%. The knock back slide atleast.

 

[Mr Mattastic]

Conceited? yes. Awesome? most definately

 

[Chaco]

XD You crack me up man.

 

[Kiwikomix]

How about the Pile Smile Driver?
Because Yoshi is a happy character who would rather give a hug...

 

[Chaco]

Well I'm getting a lot of name options...I'm waiting to see what Shiri says about it first...and Scatty.

 

[Shiri]

I'm all for whatever sounds awesome.

Drop kicking, smile driving (LOL), etc. is all pretty good.

Just nothing dumb. We're on a roll as one of the few characters with non-******** technique names. ^__^

 

[Chaco]

We can't make it sound bad *** though, people complained about DR's name.

I'm with YDK, or whatever revolves around Drop Kicking since that's what it is. Drop kicking is exxentially it, so i'm guessing Drop Kicking.

 

[Chaco]

Name updated and Drop Kicking it is.

I think there might be already an applicatio I found...well another app. A sort of chain like thing, that starts at 0% and goes to like 30%. No human testing yet though. XD I like saying that.

EDIt: The above doesn't work, I thought it might but you can DI out. But anyway the swet spot for the spike is near impossible to find, it's a tiny spot, I believe it does 13% instead of 6% and is located like at the tip end of the heel. But I'm still trying to pin point it.

 

[bigman40]

So, let me see if I have this straight. When you FF a SH Nair, a tiny spot in his body or foot pushes the opponent downwards?

 

[Scala]

Anyone have a vid up? I'm curious about the angle and extra knockback you can achieve.

 

[Chaco]

So, let me see if I have this straight. When you FF a SH Nair, a tiny spot in his body or foot pushes the opponent downwards?

Yeah, they're is one spot that sends them at a sharp downward angle. It's not really fast...but it's enough to fill. I've already gimped a Pit today with it.

And as far as a vid, if I record it will look awful.

 

[Chaco]

DP but I'm worth it. [/shiri Excuse]

Honestly I'm not sure if that many uses will come from this, yeah it can space you and your opponent. But the spike, it was at 178%, and I'm not sure it will spike any lower since it's normal damage ranges from 6-9%. I'm really not even sure it should be considered a tech. If it is right now or not.

I was wrong on the location of the spike, I actually think you have to move across the top of them with it. Like you cover the top of them and swipe some. It gets the most downward push but it is still at like a 30 degree declining angle. It is not sharp at all.

 

[Defender]

What!? Shiri doesn't want to call it the CBRSK (the chicken bacon ranch sub kick), lol? On a more serious note, just plain ol' drop kick sounds good, but we could maybe give it a little more flavor and call it the Guillotine Kick.

Regardless of what we call it, I'll have to experiment with this, so thanks for finding it, Chaco.

 

[Chaco]

Welcome i found one useful app though...ledge shaving. DK into that ledge and not risk SDing with dair.

 

[BBQ°]

I think the name should have something to do with Nike (as in the shoe brand).

 

[Chaco]

I FOUND THE SPIKE FINALLY! It's a ledge spike. I'll explain soon, but I'mma try to get Scat to make a vid first. =DD

 

[Chaco]

I am now testing the stages, so far it works at FD. This trick works so good. It's like an auto gone stock. It *****. Yoshi is now broken. XD JK

 

[Talazala]

Nice discovery. So is it just falling on an enemy with a nair?

 

[Eddosan]

*scratches his head*
Why not just call it FF Nair?

 

[Gindler]

Hmmm, after reading this I think it's happened to me before but I probably just shrugged it off (don't quote me on that). So good job on paying attention Chaco

 

[Talazala]

Yoshi now has three spikes. Is it just me, or does Yoshi have rediculous amount of ATs? Like more than most other characters.

 

[Mmac]

*scratches his head*
Why not just call it FF Nair?

Thats not technical enough!

 

[Dav657]

wait i thought there werent any spikes in brawl? Am i missing something?

 

[Talazala]

wait i thought there werent any spikes in brawl? Am i missing something?

When did, huh? Spikes are meteor smashes. They can be refered to as both.

 

[DstyCube]

I need to see a video. This isn't just a stage spike right?

 

[Depster]

sounds fun =D Nice job Chaco

 

[PRiDE]

sounds fun =D Nice job Chaco

Yeah thats what I think it sounds like... But I would also like to see a vid...

 

[Meta Dude]

nice discovery, i've done a lot of FF Nair, but never had a spike with it cause i'm usually trying to hit 'em with the boot.

 

[Talazala]

Haha, funny sig pride. Don't all Yoshi's have white @**es though?

Anyways, I'm gonna try this when school starts. A fine addition to Yoshi's spike collection. Now how to incorporate it...

 

[Dav657]

When did, huh? Spikes are meteor smashes. They can be refered to as both.

I thought spike= your dead cant recover from. and only 5 (i think) characters have them

Meteor smash= can be meteor canceled with a third jump.
and brawl has no spikes everything can be meteor canceled.

so shouldnt this be titled meteor smash found?
