SSBWiki Finger-through

Okay, so I discovered this new wiki made for the Super Smash Bros stuff. I just lay my eyes over a few pages, but a few pages were enough to learn new tricks and combos and other stuff.

Of course, there were some things that were too obvious to have to point out, even for a wiki. For example, when you play team battles, some characters keep their original color when it matches the team color. For example:
  • Red: Mario, Ness, Samus...
  • Blue: Marth, Roy (<=SSBM only)...
  • Green: Luigi, Yoshi, Link, Young Link (<=SSBM only), Toon Link...
But still, I found cool things: I learned which characters (and which moves) nullify knock-back momentum, I found out about Jigglypuff's Shield Break Jump (pretty useful for the Brinstar escape in Adventure Mode) and I finally figured out that Yoshi was the Home-Run Ace with the downward kick-flurry.

Some things, however, changed my way of viewing the Smash Bros universe. I saw this man, usernamed Ken, that tries to get Combo-KO's from scratch. He uses chaingrabs, aerials, meteor smashes, and combinations of each. One combo I like, righteously named the "Ken combo", involves Marth and [opponent] on the edge of a stage. Marth grabs [opponent] and throws him/her forward, elevating [opponent]'s body. Marth then procedes to jump once, leveling his altitude with the helpless [opponent], executes an aerial Forward-A to elevate [opponent] higher, jumps again and performs aerial Down-A (Meteor Smash) to send [opponent] reeling down into an imminent KO.
