Advanced (and very strange) Robin tech: the "Scale Tipper"

Advanced (and very strange) Robin tech: the "Scale Tipper"

On certain percents its a confirmed kill ... this is actually awesome.

Indeed. I first discovered this playing 1v1 friendlies against my friends C. Falcon. I read his jump from the ledge with ArcThunder, and tried to spike him at 40. Instead, he flew at a nasty Semi-Spike angle like from Falco's DSmash, and flew far enough that he simply couldn't recover due to the shallow angle and decent knockback, and Falcon's sub-par recovery.

Especially against fast fallers this can be killer for gimps. Even if they are playing Sheik and can recover from literally anywhere, it puts them in a pretty bad spot where they have to use every tool in their kit just to make it back to the stage. And that makes it easy to edgeguard.
This is a useful guide, for anyone who doesn't know this yet.
This guide is useful, and it does help, but the only thing I can say/add is that, from my experience, you just have to hit the opponent with the Levin Down-air at a certain position because of hitboxes, but otherwise this was very helpful for what is was for.
This honestly looks cool as hell. Nice explanation - I'm pretty scrubby, and even I understood it.
