Bike.

Once you understand, you'll understand why this was worth a thread.

This should've been common knowledge since 2009 but people still fail to implement it.

I mentioned this in the diddy matchup thread, if Diddy has a naner in hand and you predict a throw, just bike at him and you'll guarantee the hit. a little different with Falco, they will go into BDACUS or sideB if you threaten them with a bike approach

if you bike at them, and you hit them, you get 9-11% damage... then what? you have to jump off the bike, no legit followups. at low % diddy can probably fair you and Falco can bair you because you dont knock them far enough away.

Haha yeah definitely better at low percents :p plus it's extra useful if you're able to perform an Instant Wipeout on the bike, because not only do you score a hit, but you leave your bike on the stage to be used as well!

One thing the bike isn't very good against is ROB's gyro. It climbs up the bike and knocks us off, because it has a renewing hitbox. Beware!

No follow ups?? Ever hear of the "Pollution Solution"? Bike hit to fair/Uair/Fart if you knock the opponent off the stage.

the bike is not a good idea for an attacking option most of the time. if you hit them , you get 9% and no followups, probably take some damage from the lasers or whatever...

if they shield it, you get OoS bair'd with your bike on the stage. if you get knocked offstage bikeless you're in trouble.

It has an added bonus though of getting your bike onto the stage, from there it can be broken for the tires!

You can technically Bike through every attack, the point is that with nanas and lasers (projectiles in general) the timing isn't inhuman (like with Snake's ftilt).
