Everyone knows that Greninja's down tilt has a fair amount of priority, but the lag it has makes it almost useless for your game. Well, no longer. While your shadow is moving, you can use your down taunt to add damage hitboxes with decent priority to your left and right. This will decrease many of your opponents punish options, if your sneak should fail. The moment you release your side B, you will go off like normal. I figured this was something I found that was worth noting, even if it has little to no usage. Maybe its a tech you can use to style on people, or catch people who try to punish taunts :p

Huh? Greninja's down tilt really doesn't have much lag at all and it's one of his best tools.

Edit: OH down TAUNT. Ok.

Gotta experiment with this. You could catch someone off guard lovely if this works how I imagine it to.

Awesome! Does this mean that Greninja officially has the safest mid-battle taunt? On a related note, are there cancellable taunts for any other characters?
