Hey, well I created this thread to know when everyone pulls out bananas, or to help some people out that might want to know when to pull them out. I'm just going to start out with when I pull out bananas.
1.After any opponent dies, this said I'll pull them out after my opponent dies to get a quick wrack up on damage and try to get them atleast 50% damage before they kill me, so I have a decent lead. If I die, chances are they're at high damage %, and they are ready for a kill, so I use them to set up a Fsmash or Dsmash.
2. Banana spike/banana edgeguarding. This is very effective from the characters that have a limited recovery, like DK, Link, Charizard, Captain Falcon, Gannondorf, Mario, Etc. It also works well against Ness and Lucas and tether recoverys.
3. If I'm high in the air. I'm personally not good at getting out of air combos, or if they Usmash me and I'm falling back down, and they jump to do Uair, Bair, or Fair, so to make up for this if I'm high up in the air I'll pull out a banana, jump, pull another banana, and side b towards the first banana to make a wall like effect, it usually stops them and sometimes sets them up for a Fair as your landing.
4. Racking up damage. Like I said back in Situation 1, I use it to rack up damage, I keep pulling out my bananas until at least 50% even if I have to pull out 8 bananas before i do it.
5. The kill. I'll use bananas to get kills as well. Glide tossing to Fsmash, banana spiking, etc. I won't stop pulling them out if they're 140% damage or more until they're dead.
Spamming Vs. Strategising:
A lot of my situations will overlap each other so it may seem like I'm banana spamming, but I see it more of a strategy.
Example:
I'm versing a G&W. G&W is a light character and can die around 100% minimum. Since the bananas will rack his damage up to 60%, it's only a few hits to the high 90's low 100's. So I'll pull more bananas out to get the kill. I got the kill, I need to rack up more damage, I pull out 2 more bananas, and get him to 30%, before he kills me. I died, I pull out 2 more bananas, banana combo him to 80%, he went off the stage and is recovering, I go for a banana spike and pull out 2 more bananas, one hits, the other misses but he still makes, he's 95%, so I go for the kill by pulling more bananas out.
In situations like these I'll get called banana spamming, but as you can see it's more of a strategy more than spamming.
