Gimp Snake's C4 Recovery with Footstools!

I made this thread because this is easy to do and so freaking good , yet I've never seen anyone other than myself do it. Just spam jump over a snake who is about to use his C4 recovery. He will get footstooled and will die if your low enough. I do this all the time, there's nothing Snake can do to avoid it. Here's a vid of me doing this on a few occasions.

Enjoy!

yeah its cool but its just so hard to do with MK coz hes slow slow in the air it takes forever to get above snake. if the snake is c4 recovering very close to the stage go for it, but if not, good luck getting to him quick enough lol

This is pretty well-known. It's common knowledge among the better DDD's. It doesn't look like your friend is DI'ing the C4 making it much easier for you to foostool him.

As far as I know Snakes cypher refreshes if you footstool him.
But sometimes this could work very well. :)

I'd rather jump down there and force him to C4 me instead of C4'ing the air and then fly back up. It's more evil that way.

If tap jump is ON, you can simply hold up on the control stick and it will auto-footstool. Or if you like pressing buttons, just spam the jump button instead of timing the footstool.

Note: you cannot footstool while your character is in the tumble animation after being hit from an attack.

I also find it funny that people didn't know about this. I've been using it a lot since apex.
