SSBM Practical TAS: Falcos Invincible Ledgedash Options Practical TAS 2: Melee Mechanics 2015-09-05 | Five of Falco's invincible ledgedash options: Shine (down-B), pivot up-tilt, down-tilt, forward smash, and bair, along with a Yoshi's Island-specific option. All actions are invincible from the time the ledge is grabbed to the first active grabbox/hitbox of the action. All actions that Fox can perform, Falco can too, and vice versa. Try watching this video at 0.5x or 0.25x speed.When performing a frame-perfect ledgedash, Falco moves so quickly that his environmental collision box (ECB) is distorted by the action he took prior to grabbing the ledge. Thus, if you last fastfell to the ledge, you should perform an up-B ledgestall or a double jump regrab before ledgedashing to maximize your invincibility. Do note that Falco is fast enough that he can still perform pretty much anything invincibly even if he's not frame-perfect, but everything shown here is frame perfect.The optimal ledgedash strategy for Falco is different if he last grabbed the ledge during an up-B or not.How to perform an invincible ledgedash as Falco (after up-B):Frame 1: Grab ledge9: Fall from ledge (between down and down-forward on control stick)10: jump and hold the control stick down-forward14: airdodge down-forward24: first actionable frame (do whatever you want starting here)37: last invincible frame38: first vulnerable frameHow to perform an invincible ledgedash as Falco (not after up-B):Frame 1: Grab ledge9: Fall from ledge (down on control stick, or down or away on c-stick)10: jump and hold the control stick between forward and down-forward13: airdodge between forward and down-forward23: first actionable frame (do whatever you want starting here)37: last invincible frame38: first vulnerable frameAbout this video:This video is tool-assisted: it was created by advancing the game one frame at a time and performing every input exactly as desired, then playing back the same input stream at 60 fps.

Melee Mechanics: Reflected Projectiles and the Stale Move Queue Practical TAS 2: Melee Mechanics 2016-10-05 | Reflected projectiles take the stale move queue of the opponent's equivalent move.

For most characters, you lose frames and are more likely to SD, but with Pikachu, the timing is the same and you save a frame.Also shoutout to Axe, who requested to see these five moves when I informed him that I was making this video.About this video:This video is tool-assisted: it was created by advancing the game one frame at a time and performing every input exactly as desired, then playing back the same input stream at 60 fps.

V-Canceling: A Visual Guide Practical TAS 2: Melee Mechanics 2015-10-01 | All credit for the discovery of V-Canceling goes to achilles1515 on Reddit.V-Canceling is a newly discovered, highly situational survival technique in Melee. If you are airborne, not performing an attack, not in hitstun, and not in a missed tech window, you can decrease the initial knockback velocity of an incoming attack to 0.95x its original value with a very well-timed press of L or R.Note that the button press cannot be spammed (as pressing L or R puts you in the missed tech window, and will also cause you to airdodge if you are not already in the freefall state) and does not work if you are being comboed. Thus, V-Canceling seems to be most applicable to characters who recover high and in the freefall state, such as Captain Falcon and Fox.

All actions are invincible from the time the ledge is grabbed to the first active grabbox/hitbox of the action.Try watching this video at 0.5x or 0.25x speed.The timing for invincible ledgedashes as Sheik is fuzzy, since she will usually spend a frame or two in the airdodge animation before contacting the ground.

The spotdodges shown here might not be frame-perfect.* Jab's hitbox comes out on frame 4, so the last frame of invincibility is also the first frame you have a hitbox out.* Roll is invincible on frame 4, but you must spend 1 frame in shield before you can roll. If done perfectly, the shield will come up on frame 34, the roll will start on frame 35, and roll invincibility will start on frame 38 (meaning there are no vulnerable frames).* Up-B hits on frame 5, but is also invincible on frame 5. Thus, a perfect ledgedash up-b is also uninterruptible.About this video:This video is tool-assisted: it was created by advancing the game one frame at a time and performing every input exactly as desired, then playing back the same input stream at 60 fps.
