      It has a 60% chance of working, no matter what circumstances there are.

      +Jason Ko because it only works once per match. Then it becomes the easiest punish out of any of Max's options.

      *Mac's and yes, counter can be used, however if not used at the right height and properly, it generally kills you more than it saves you.

    • @7kslair153
      @7kslair153 8 років тому

      Well it is going to be used on people recovering, so they will most likely D.I. in. And some fast falling characters are common high tiers like Ryu.

    • @Jknight416
      @Jknight416 8 років тому

      Torrent Ryu is a high tier but he isn't a fastfaller

    • @7kslair153
      @7kslair153 8 років тому +1

      JohnKnight416 Oh, but still he's good for it, it works best on fast fallers I guess because it worked on Ganon.

      You can avoid it by di'ing away from Cloud after he uses Cross Slash and saving your jump.

  • @Super_Jumpz
    @Super_Jumpz 8 років тому +1

    Many people are saying how easy it is to escape this when in reality it's actually a really good mixup. Generally when people get launched towards the blast zone they are going to DI in, not outwards. If you condition your opponent to always DI in after getting successful cross slashes off stage, then you are most likely able to get this setup.

    • @noobiesensei6281

      TezMehbot Not with proper DI. But since you chose the worst possible DI just to avoid getting footstooled, welp, you lose a stock horribly early.

    "Be good and not bad yeah."

  • @gregtysonn4672
    @gregtysonn4672 8 років тому

    theres also fully charged focus attack to footstool offstage with ryu that works for me alot but you have to be slightly above them for it to work and u have to cancel out of focus quickly

  • @isaacm5868
    @isaacm5868 8 років тому

    I have a suggestion. Yoshi's grab release after pummeling to down-B is a really good tech, but can be avoided. If they don't know about it, they will most likely get hit by it. If they know, you could try to read their escape option.

  • @AHybrten

  • @gregwinks2101
    @gregwinks2101 8 років тому

    If you are ganon at the edge of the stage, f tilt then immediately down b to get you to their position then footstool. This works against heavier characters like ganon at 62 no rage

  •  8 років тому +1

    I still can't believe people didn't know this before Alpharad showed it....

  • @vr6119
    @vr6119 8 років тому

    The setup can also be used to set up a suicide Climhazzard, which should cover the DI out option. Of course, that should only be used if you have the lead

  • @lunanguyen8811
    @lunanguyen8811 8 років тому

    I found a "tech that sometimes works but not always!" :D
    Fox's Shine Fair Footstool:
    Run up to the other person, shine them off the stage, drag them down with Fair and mash jump for a possible footstool. Fox usually survives even without a footstool! The people who are quick enough to jump after sliding off the stage just need to be shined again, then mash Fair so it buffers or run off and get the footstool. 60% of the time, it works every time!
    Just don't hit them to let them live.

  •  8 років тому

    Just to note that this tech will only work on characters with crappy horizontal recoveries. You'll have to use a nair before cross slash or just do this really low in order to catch someone like Robin. Also, never try this on Marth since his recovery is too fast for you to footstool him

    • @noobiesensei6281
      @noobiesensei6281 8 років тому +1

      +Kor-al Refe That thing might be useful, just because a full cross slash offstage is good to kill, so people tend to DI in. Not because it's Alpharad or whatever. You will be surprised at how techs that are labelled "60% of the time it works everytime" are actually working most of the time... as mixups, indeed.

    If you use kirby, jump off a cliff, then mash jump like your life depends on it, you can footstool a lot of bad players. Also, never spit them out unless it's under the stage. (People will usually mash out before you die; it's easier to get the footstool in result. Also, sometimes you have to read their DI.)

    I feel like you should cover Robin's ArcThunder to DAir tech if you don't already know about it.
