In this thread, I'll be explaining the 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼'𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄!

Everyone knows that the lasers of Falco's Upthrow are weird, but their properties are actually quite predictable!

It's important to understand them!

(1/9) As Falco Upthrows, he tosses his opponent into the air and then shoots 3 lasers above him.

These Lasers have quite large hitboxes, can be SDI'd, and have their own launch trajectories that are 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧!

𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵'𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻-𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 (Dthrow RTC) greatly expands her chain-grab and followup potential on fastfallers.

Landing a Grab on a platform allows her to consistently Grab - Death, KO'ing her opponents at nearly any percent!

(1/11) Before explaining Dthrow RTC, it's important to discuss the common situation in which fastfallers DI onto a platform from Upthrow

If they tech-roll, Peach is able to fullhop DJL and regrab, but tech in-place is an issue. Her frame-advantage is variable due to DI and percent

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 that both of the space animals, 𝗙𝗼𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼, 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘅𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵?

Should you do it? Maybe. Probably not, but⁠—

This is mostly just a fun-fact, but there's a slow motion (without inputs) clip on the next tweet ^^!

Hi, I'm Shy and I wanted to talk about something that I'd like to see from Fox and Falco!

We see consistent Parrying from Yoshi, but why don't we see better utilised Powershields from spacies?

𝗣𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 is a 4 frame window and yields Uptilt/Shine!

(1/?) For comparison, I'll briefly explain Yoshi's Parry. Yoshi has a Jump-Cancellable pre-Shield animation where his body goes 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 (like respawn: causes attacker hitlag) for 6f as he retreats into his egg.

The (weird) Shield does not appear until frame 3.

Summary of Last Night's Labbing Stream (no images this time)

*if we ignore the rants*
We studied:
‣ Fox's Laser Land from Ledge to Side Platforms
‣ Samus' Dthrow Charge Shot vs Peach

This thread of tweets will detail our findings.

Enjoy ^^
(1/11) Just like Falco (whose data is in my Patreon-Discord if you're interested), Fox can Laser Land to the side-platforms from the ledge of BF, Yoshi's Story, and Dream Land.

Due to their differences in double-jumps, they have varying leniency & actionable intangibility/GALINT
