SSB Crusade (0.6) Advanced Techniques

[Felipe_9595]

Well, in this tread i will post all the advanced techniques that crusade have so far. You are free to post new AT, fi they are in fact AT (lol) i will add them to the tread.

General Techniques:

Crusade Cancel (0.6 only, it will be removed for 1.0)



This AT allow certain grounded special attacks be canceled with the grab animation. to perform it do a Up-Down-Forward B, then before the 5 frame of the attack press grab. That will cancel the move. You can cancel the grab pressing the jump button, so this AT is useful to link a B Attack into an Aerial-Smash Attack- B attack.

Edge Cancel

Uploading

Dash Attacks/Running Smash attacks/Fsmash can be canceled with a edge if they are performed near of it. For example, run to a edge, perform snake Dash attack, an when he reach the end of the paltfrom/edge, it will be canceled. Useful to link a variety of attacks on others.

Character Specific

Lucas Slope Slide



All the explanation is inside the video. Just do a Down B in a slope and keep pressing Down +B.

Demonic Chain



Some characters, like Krystal or Lucas have stun attacks. That kind of attacks, with a correct timing can lead on a infinite chain.

Sonic Instanst Spin Dash

"I've found an interesting glitch of sorts with Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. Their Spin Dash attacks can be reversed while charging by pressing Left or Right (depending on which way they are facing). Doing so while charging causes the Spin Dash to charge much faster, seemingly instantly, resulting in an unusually fast Spin Dash.

It works much better with Sonic and Tails than with Knuckles becuase Knuckles's Spin Dash is slower, but it's useful for all of them. The increased speed means increased damage as well. I did the following combo with Sonic using Instant Spin Dash: Spin Dash -> Jump Spin Dash -> Back Air. It did 26% damage. It's almost impossible to get this much damage without instant Spin Dash due to the speed required to hit with Back Air's sweetspot.

Plus, this just looks cool because of how fast you can go."

For Character Specific:
Krystal's "Demonic Chain".

(You can see it at 0:19, 0:34, 0:40, 1:13 (this combos into a Final Smash), 2:13, 2:22, and 3:58)

It's relatively straightforward, but the timing required makes it an AT.
It's technically removed in 1.0, but in all actuality it just requires much, MUCH better timing.

okay, adding it, wait a moment

EDIT: Its like Lucas side B Chain, i think a better name is Stun Chain, other characters can do it aswell.

[Dettadeus]

Yes, but hers is different from Lucas's.
I forget, is Lucas's S-Special's stun tome based off of damage? If it is, then they're somewhat similar.
The main difference is that if Krystal's Demon Sniper hits an already-stunned opponent, they are unstunned. I'm pretty sure Lucas's doesn't do that, so it's a different kind of stun lock that requires much more advanced timing skills.

[Felipe_9595]

Lucas too, if you hit them when they are still stunned the chain is broken, if you check my combo compilation i think i did bad one of the Side B

[Dettadeus]

Meh, sure. Call it a stun lock if you must. I still think it takes better timing since you're using a projectile as opposed to a direct attack, and the accidental fast-falling is an issue since it's a d-special.

Also, Krystal is spelled with a Y, not an I.

I have a character-specific one: ssbcforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ssbcgcd&action=display&thread=276
Basically, making Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles turn around during charging of Spin Dash will make it instantly fully charged. Not a big deal, but important for high level Sonic play.

I've been looking at grab release stuff, and it seems like Yoshi and C. Falcon have particularly good stuff.

C. Falcon can nair (safe-ish), uspecial (risky), and fair (only low %) afterwards. This gives him a fighting chance XD

Yoshi can release to usmash (safe-ish), dsmash (safe-ish), utilt (safe), nair (not so safe)... etc.... I usually get release to usmash around 70% of the time, just need to read DI and an airdodge, though it can hit whether they airdodge or not.

tl;dr version: Grab release options make Yoshi's grab game even better, just needs pivot grabs. XD

Also don't grab release C. Falcon or you might get kneed in the face.

[Dettadeus]

Adding one to the list. I think it should be called "Momentum Shifting".
Basically, if you perform a fast-falled D-special while also holding down left or right, you can reset your aerial momentum and start moving instantly in whichever direction you were trying to move in. It's sort of like mid-air pivoting without having to turn around.
I might upload a few examples of characters performing it, but if you look at just about any of my recent Krystal videos, I do it a lot. Short-hop -> Fast-Fall -> D-Special while momentum-shifting backwards is what I usually do. I think I do it a lot in the Demonic Chain video to add a bit of time between each shot.

Also, this technique is semispecific to characters. As in, some characters simply can't do it because of the nature of their D-Special, like Fox, Ristar and Meta Knight to name a few. It has to be a character whose d-special doesn't affect their momentum or movement in any pre-set way.

Oh yeah. R.O.B. can do essentially the same thing in Brawl with all of his specials, but it turns him around (and gives him a small vertical boost as well). This is the same thing, but it can be done in either direction while retaining the direction you are facing.

There also is a moving Up-Smash for Sonic.
