So, I was playing against my friends marth a while ago and I ledgehopped a fair. I ment to hit up B but somehow I ended up hitting down b...probably because I was fast falling the fair >_>.
Anyways.
So what happens? A bomb comes out...and explodes immediately...with virtually no lag
. I'm pretty sure you can't be shieldgrabbed out of it, and you can lay two bombs on their shield then come in with a dair.
By doing this you have accomplished several things.
1. The fair weakened your opponents shield.
2. When you bomb, your opponent with most likely drop their shield out of suprise or they may just sit in it. If they do sit in it, they won't have much of a shield left after the bomb.
3. You can possibly lay two bombs on their shield before going too high.
4. This part is good and bad. You are in a position to come in with a dair into smash on the back of their shield, which will probably break it, so your opponent is going to do something about it. Depending on the character they may quickly jump out of their shield with an attack and catch you. If they do this though you can sex kick and usually trade hits, or the sex kick will scare them into rolling or dodging. If they roll you can punish, and if they dodge you can punish.
Try this out. Lots of people Fair to Up B because of the invincibility frames and the fact that you cannot be shield grabbed after it. But it leaves you open if your opponent stays in their shield. This fair to bomb trick takes away that vulnerability as well as pressuring the opponents shield. It allows you to go from a defensive position, to an offensive one. It can give you stage position advantage as well.
With all this being said, please understand that all your opponent needs to do to counter this...is move away from the edge by dashing or wavedashing. So make sure you are actually going to hit their shield with your fair. Otherwise you will probably eat a fsmash, and should return to the stage from the ledge differently.
I have never seen any other samus do this before, so I thought a new topic would be good.
Discuss.
