One Button

[z00ted]

They have been hiding beneath our noses for the longest time. These buttons have been said to rekindle the spirits of veteran Peach mains who have lost all hope. They allow you to do many techniques much more comfortably and precise.

Here is a claim from a well respected Peach main:

Before Illmatic let me in on this miracle I would pluck bombs in middle of tournament and immediately throw them in the downwards direction. I had given up all hope, but then I tried this and I understood why Illmatic moves so God damn fast.

These buttons are none other than -

L / R

afk

WAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Eddie G]

This button absolutely changed my life for the better. Illmatic has made me so happy that I just want to shed the manliest tears possible.

Spoiler

P.S. I'm being totally ****ing serious here.

 

[Two-Ell]

It's all I've ever dreamed of and more

/avi

 

[z00ted]

looooooooooooool

 

[Nordal]

Victory is ours.

[Neon!]

I MAIN DONKEY KONG
AND I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE GROUND
WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY WATCHING MY PERCENTAGE REACH NUMBERS UP TO 120
I HATE THIS MATCHUP WHEN HE USES THAT BUTTON

ITS ALSO HIS SECRET TECHNIQUE FOR PULLING TROLL TURNIPS

 

[Eddie G]

LMAO at people thinking this is a joke. If only you knew...

 

[z00ted]

this is officially the best thread ever

 

[Zano]

dood, you're supposed to use those buttons to shield, wtf? This will never work

 

[z00ted]

^noob doesn't know anything about brwalz

 

[Zano]

at least I can spell brawl

 

[Eddie G]

All you need is one of those buttons to shield, broski.

OMG I just gave Snake the asswhoopin' of a lifetime.

 

[Neon!]

I usually have bad dreams about illmatics turnips

And then I wake up and have to change my pants.

 

[Zano]

Yo, I alternate between L and R when I shield so my opponent is confused if they try to look at my controller.

[z00ted]

wahahahahhaha im dying

 

[¿Qué?]

With this, Vinnie claims ownership of this thread. I'm stealing that pic.

 

[Eddie G]

Lmao they really just don't know how amazing this is... xD

 

[z00ted]

better than usmash, imo

 

[Eddie G]

Leagues better.

 

[Nordal]

Hey guys.

Did you know that D Tilt makes you slide?

 

[Two-Ell]

How long shall we tease them gentlemen?

 

[Eddie G]

I'm waiting for Ill to pull the trigger since he introduced us to it, lol.

 

[z00ted]

hehehehehehehehehe

uair string is so much fun

 

[Eddie G]

Haha, indeed it is. Never done it before in my life, and started doing it consistently in less than 5 minutes.

 

[Nordal]

I'd personally use the R button since I use L to shield.

 

[Eddie G]

Yup whatever works best for you.

 

[Two-Ell]

what ever works for you really.

It makes a lot of other **** so much easier too.

 

[Eddie G]

Yeah it really does. Although I still use default controls for everything else, the timing of the string and the specific input itself somehow keeps the rest of my technical inputs and control of the character quick and on point, very reminiscent of my better months with her. Hard to describe really. My passion has been reignited.

 

[z00ted]

It also really works well for retreating fairs (like what kyon did vs that Luigi) and really quick ground floated nairs (Reaper's Peach Combo Video).

I started doing it about a month ago and it really helps out a ton. It applies some frame traps occasionally with players are falling - uair quickly to bait an airdodge.. read their fall and just nair / fair them

 

[Two-Ell]

GF Nairs are piss easy without this for me lol

but yeah retreating Fair/Bairs are much easier to pull off.

 

[z00ted]

I'm talking about like advancing forward while doing them.

[Eddie G]

I guess I'll be the odd one out and say that I'm still personally comfortable with doing the rest of those the default way, all I needed this for was for the string and those other creative applications of uair that Illmatic mentioned. Ladies and Gentleman, we've got ourselves a very strong new advancement going on for this character here.

Snakes, DDDs, Wolves, Foxes, and the like will learn to fear us. The rest will be wary of pressuring from above or landing anywhere near us. This is the tool we needed to make this universally applicable by most/all of us and make us that much more of a threat to the big dogs out there. I can feel a good vibe from this one.

 

[z00ted]

I think it has the potential to drastically change matchups that weren't previously in our favor. Some that you didn't already mention would be Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Bowser, and Falco too King Beef. For some reason it's also fairly easy to do after a short hop dair on Ness, Samus, and Lucas.

I really want to study more of the physics of the uair string because I've been doing it recently and it works very well (just don't fish for it too much because it becomes blatantly obvious).

 

[Eddie G]

I agree with that, this grants us a significant boost in control over her excellent ability to box and use it more to its full potential. Frame traps and juggles in general can now be extended beyond our previous abilities to do so on most if not all characters, which can grant us some serious hits and damage racking that weren't previously accessible. Her mobility and autocanceling in general can now be controlled at a much greater level of comfort and efficiency than before. Reaper is an excellent example of how a lot of us will be maximizing most of her tools in any given situation with some practice.

I also agree to not fish for the uair string, believe me haha. I've never been a player to blatantly fish for any one thing so that won't be an issue.

And dude...if you catch someone with a hard read uair (whether directly, off of a tech chase, juggle setup, etc.) just to tap them up, and they are at kill percent, and Peach has a fresh u-smash...ohhhhhh man. Easier u-smashes galore, people.

 

[z00ted]

yeah, exactly.

This is really great because we can get certain characters to their kill percentage and THEN have all of our moves fresh! Oh man, I can't wait to run into a Donkey Kong, Falco, Wolf, etc.

Uair is a really good tool that I feel as though we as Peach mains haven't really tested and applied to it's full potential in our game.

We gotta use it more.

Also - a guaranteed setup for this is if someone is shielding on a platform or whatever.. or just standing on the platform where their back is facing the ledge of the platform (see GIMR's Current Metagame Minute) you can uair their shield until they fall off or it breaks through - keep the uair string going or if they fall off set up a sh dair, rinse and repeat.

I feel as though this is another tool for platform pressure from besides Utilt because it sends out so many more attacks in such a short period of time (makes shield weaker - quicker) compared to the slow and somewhat laggy utilt.

A freefall off of a platform can lead into sooo many nasty things, sweet spotted racket is the best.

 

[Neon!]

Donkey Kong will alwyas beat peach no matter what, I'm going to develop a new technique for Dk where he uses down-b in the air.

 

[Zwarm]

Wait... people weren't doing this before? I was under the impression that all Peach players made their unused trigger into jump for more float shenanigans. I have my R set to jump, but I usually do everything with Y and A. I only really use C-stick for SH dair, and the occasional bair when trying to land back on the stage, so I guess I should work on using R more too.

and so it begins!

I just basically made this thread because I was under the impression that some players did not do this (I talked to like four Peach mains that didn't know anything about it), so I made this blog.

Anyways, this thread is probably going to become redundant - so I will propose a challenge.

I want to see who can supply the most uair strings (in friendlies or tournament) in a video, they have to be somewhat impressive ones, not weak like three hitters.

Start trying it out everyone!

This is such a cool floor pattern.

Good job focusing.

It's getting sad Meno, you just can't seem to deliver them like you used to. I appreciate the compliment on the flooring, but sadly this isn't my picture! You can find it on the google images search function

Who's the dummy now?

 

[deepseadiva]

Okay, what are you talking about.

Changing L/R to jump or attack or wha.

I remember Rick recommended something like this when Excel first introduced it, but I already got the craziest control scheme. But if it simplifies it that well, I'll look into it.
