New AT for Zamus, Sheik, Sonic and others.

[Xanderous]

Zamus, Sheik, Sonic and possibly Toon Link all have D-Airs that propel them toward the ground like an aerial Falcon Kick. Four distinct times while using these characters, I've been able to slow the attack to about half the speed it normally is. Imagine a very slow, almost low-grav version of an aerial Falcon Kick.

I don't know exactly how to do it yet, but I've been able to do it with three characters now. Anyone have any ideas for a name? I guess I get to choose since I discovered it, right?

Edit:

Okay I figured out how to do it. It's only on the return-- that is, after you get hit into the air by your opponent, the momentum left over from their attack will slow your dair. It's been very useful in some situations and I'm trying to include it in my game now.

^^You could call it Dair Momentum Stalling, or DMS for short. Try to figure out how to control this. It could make for an excellent mindgame tool.

 

[Cheezball]

How about "The Dust Fall"? Sounds nice. Make a list for all of the suggestions.

 

[Eric the Lone]

How is this done....this doesn't sound too advanced..

 

[PopeOfChiliTown]

G&W does it too.

EDIT: The dair thing I mean.

 

[Dark Sonic]

How is this done....this doesn't sound too advanced..

True, but it's another step foward. What we need to do is decipher how these things are done now, and apply them later.

Keep up the good work man. We need more people like you and OoNoiRoO.

Before giving this tech a name, we first need to give a name to the sub-category of Dairs that cause the character to drop like that. I call 'FalD' (Falling DAir - Pronounced 'Falled').

This tech could simply be called "FalD Slowing".

$5 says it's in the manual :D.

If it works as an efficient mind game, how about Powerful Mindgame Stall, or PMS for short?

 

[Toastmeister]

Maybe just Slow Fall (In contrast to Fast Fall)?

Or perhaps a less terrible name would be more appropos.

Hoe about Nagging for the ****s and giggles.

It's when you get hit.

 

[Enlong]

Here's a name: How about Moonfall, 'cause the move makes you fall as though you were in moon gravity?

 

[Sun-Wukong]

Name Idea

How about "Honey Drop"? You know, like when you have a bunch of Honey in a spoon and it drips off really slow.

 

[Hmaal]

Can we get a video first then a name might seem better fitted.

[draigaran]

The matrix fall.
/nerdiness

 

[TheJalapeno]

Zero Grav fall

 

[2L84U]

Toon Link's D-air also launches himself downwards.
Whether it can be breaked I do not know.

 

[The Great Leon]

vids plox :0

 

[The_Corax_King]

wow this doesn't need a name people...

how about just "slowing down your dair....."

 

[Xanderous]

How about the Hoss Brake for Dairs? Yeah. I'm going with that.

 

[Fanewgie]

I noticed this last night while giving Sheik some game time. Ice Climbers' dair acts like this too, though not nearly as fast as these others.

I didn't really consider it an advanced technique though. If anything, I thought it was just a small bug that cancels out the move's momentum under certain circumstances.

 

[S2]

I agree that this doesn't need a name.

Its not really an advanced tech anymore than using Down-B in Melee to give Ganon another jump. Its just a regular part of the game.

anybody read japanese?
