I've already posted this guide in the "Ask a question get an answer" thread. But since it is only located on page 91, I have decided to post this here so that you wouldn't have to go looking for it. And also because Stealthgun requested it in Corrupt Fate's "[IMPORTANT] Making the Pit boards usefull again" thread. If you do not like that I have made a new thread about this, it's only because I think this will be usefull to the Pit boards and will allow other Pit users to add it to their library of strategies and that it will now be easy to access. If you want to see the original post, go to the "Ask a question get an answer" thread and go to page 91. This was originally posted by me. Enjoy:
Again if you'd like to see the orginal post please go to the "Ask a question get an answer" thread and go to page 91. Thank you ^__^.After spending a night researching the ART Techinque, I decided to come out with my explanation.
My findings are like the ones on "The ULTIMATE Pit Guide!" with a few differences. So I'm just gonna explain this as a step-by-step procedure. REMEMBER!!: I've only done the research for SH, NOT the full hop. I am basing these instructions on the GC controller.
1: Do SH. 2: Time the Initiaiton of Angel Ring so that Pit hits the ground when he says the "YAAAAAAH!" of his a little anoying "hi-hi-hi-YAAAAAAH!" battle cry. 3: While your in the air, keep the control stick pushed forward or else this won't work. Also, don't press the B button after you initiated the Angel Ring EXCEPT for when you hit the ground (It also helps if you have a little forward momentum in your jump ^__^). 4: Time your second press of the B button so that it lines up with the time that Pit touches the ground. 5: Keep pressing the B button after ART takes effect. I noted this as a step because this move can at least rack up over 30% damage to someone who is suprised (that means that they don't DI for the first two seconds.).
What you should see visually: You know how Pit's Angel Ring kind of "Lights up" When it starts? If you do ART right, you will see it "Light up" again when Pit hit's the ground even if ART doesn't take effect. This helps tell you that your close to getting it right ^__^.
If you want to attack the enemy as soon as you star the Angel Ring, the timings gonna be different since you don't have Pit's voice as a guide (Since you slow down a bit when you hit the enemy.). My suggestion is to memorize the height that you were able to do the ART on when you weren't hitting the enemy. It'll work.
There MIGHT be another way to do this. So I encourage people to look for other ways as well ^__^.
I hope this helps everyone a bit ^__^.
(Please don't be mad at me. I know these instructions are kind of like the ones found in the "ULTIMATE Pit Guide" thread. But it didn't specify to keep the controll stick pushed forward or to push the B button when Pit hits the ground. So please don't say that it's the same.)
