So.. footstool hop ***** teams

[err]

its true. whether its the rapid rising footstool off a grounded teamates' noggin or a midair bounce, this is the one technique that will really distinguish those who are truly "in tune" with the new game mechanics.

esp. cool scenario:
i, ness, knock pika in his fat electric face with my corked bat. he flies east, i pursue, rapidly Hugging the ledge. my teamate breaks from his opponent and footstools off me (remember im holding the ledge. i dont get knocked downward, he gets a decent footstool and has his second jump and has great positioning to intercept the recovering pikachu. i can ledgehop a fair and hopefully catch the other opponent as he approaches.)

considering how nearly everyone can recover just from air control alone, i think everyone really needs to start playing with the friendly fire footstool


oh, and is this technique not going to end up our favorite way to gimp scrubs in 1-2 years? it's seriously like a universal shine when used off stage. trouble comes with finding a way to not get Uaired

hrm.. guess if i really wanted some discussion i should have claimed this as a new "AT" that i discovered or something. then i at least could have given it some ****ty-*** name ("Sun-jumping," perhaps) andthen i'd get to scramble to get some camera-phone quality footage of this new "AT" in action on FD in training.

itd be like those 2 Bum (DK) vs. random (falco) youtube videos that circulated the web prior to the MLG 2007 opener.

btw who do you guys main?> is they better than focks>?

Do you know how situational footstooling is?
Or the fac tthat in many 2v2's the team mates are paired off with another opponent and cannot always go for a foot stool.

Couldn't you get the same distance as you'd get by footstooling your teammate by just jumping from the ground next to the ledge?

umm.. probably. some chars have extremely high footstools, however. then you're way above the level with a second jump and upB to boot.

and it is situational, but at the current metagame you wont find too many people who can distract and separate like how M2K KDJ Isai etc would beast in teams, but seriously if you are spacing yourselves as teammates should, you will probably find a lot of moments where you guys are aligned for this.

I thought of that myself and mastered that trick with my bud and I tell you, when you see an oli coming at you after footstooling a fox it kinda is scary xD. I also main sonic so if I need to get him hip there, I just plant a spring for him. but yeah footstooling when mastered= hax ledgeguard

 

[err]

word! and regarding the height, Diddy's footstool height is a lot higher than his initial full-hop height., same with Zsuit. i guess we'll just have to find out exactly for whom this is most useful by trial/error.

@runic: that sounds like ****. I'm not even going to think about them little critters bouncing out at me like that.

footstooling a scrub off the stage is instea death. for better players follow it by a dair if u can get back to the ledge lol fraking hax if done right

 

[err]

seriously its like a shine spike, but crappier

 

[heroboy]

for sonic, footstool -> up+B is absolute ****

 

[renshai117]

MK's dair looks brutal if fallowing up a footstool.

 

[Gammarax]

Footstool jumping is crazy. Yeah, for team battles, it would ****.

 

[distr0ia]

Brawl was made for team matches

 

[Finch]

It certainly wasn't made for singles.
