In my weak attempt to muddle through the Italian based on my knowledge of Spanish, I think this is literally a move you can do to any opponent. If you jump on an opposing character's head, you'll bounce off, like Mario does to a Goomba but minus the whole squishy-squishy thing. It's part of the whole combat system. Crazy and unexpected, truly!

And yes, you can apparently **** people over when you bounce off them in mid-air:

Is this the megaton we were supposed to get?

Depending on how many characters can use this (I note that it's in the techniques section), this actually might be a megaton. Not the kind I think I like, but it'd be a serious change of pace in gameplay.

EVERY CHARACTER HAS A METEOR SMASH =O!
Can you imagine it?

footstool jump!
meteor cancel
footstool jump!
meteor cancel

This would be so rigged if it were a spike >_>

This could be really neat. Especially if you have two characters fighting to get back onto a platform after being kicked off the edge.

Reminds me of the scene where Luigi jumps on Mario's head in the first story stage of Melee. Mario just sort of falls to his doom.

Interesting. Not a gamebreaker, but definitely a change in mechanics. I can see potential in this, though it needs more information. Does the meteor smash footstool jump use up your second jump? And I could see it being a lot of fun when two people are trying to get back up to the ledge. Hmm...

This game just got even deeper. Sakurai wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to focus on aerial fighting more.

I missed that quote, but that's so awesome. I'm a Marth player and I excel at juggling, so aerial battles are always incredibly fun.

What the heck is a Footstool Jump?!

Well, it’s a cool technique. Basically, you step on your opponent and jump off!

That’s it!

technique03_070726a-l.jpg


Jump! Now press the jump button with perfect timing...

technique03_070726b-l.jpg


Boing!

technique03_070726c-l.jpg


And then you jummmmmmmmp!

Using your enemy’s spine like a spring to launch you into the air
is pretty fun.

What? You say it doesn’t have much strategic value?

No, no, no. That’s hardly the case.

You can use it to perform Meteor Smashes! Incredible!

Wait, so this is only useful for meteor attacks when both are low and over the edge? That's...marginal.
Click to expand...

well it also seems you'll get an extra bost from the jump, so even if you don't get a meteor it could still have some good strategy

I don't know about that... it has tons of uses. Like footstooling someone into a bed of spikes, if any of the levels have that sort of thing. Or if you're Yoshi, you can footstool someone into the ground, they bounce back up and you Flutter Kick the shit out of them. This technique is full of win, IMO :lol

I'll be footstooling people into Pikachu's Thunder, personally

... Jump off wario's head, making him fall to his death, swing the bat in mid-air and kill mario while you are at your apex.

What's a meteor smash?

I'm a SSB noob.


Anyways, I'm happy they're changing the mechanics around.
Click to expand...

Damn, you are a noob! :D

A meteor smash is basically a downward spike. Very effective.

EDIT: In Melee, did the game or manual ever identify a downward spike as a "meteor smash"? I don't remember -- if not, it's cool that Sakurai is adopting the Smash community's terms.

So would Link's downward thrust fall under this?

I played a fair amount of Melee but 90% of the time I didn't know what the hell I was doing and just finished the challenges and stuff.

Damn I need some reading material. Tried googling some info on this and now I'm just more confused. :lol

OK, I should have qualified what general direction a meteor smash sends a character.

Anyways, if you can perform the footstool jump on a character in mid-air, then this is REALLY big.

A "meteor smash" is a move that sends an opponent down rapidly - too quickly for them to escape/react. They're used to insta-kill opponents who are off the edge of the stage.

Remind me, who had meteor smashes before?
Click to expand...

Off the top of my head:

Mario (forward-A)
Yoshi (forward-A, down-A if you're lucky)
DK (forward-A and down-A)
Marth and Roy (down-A, Roy's requires much more precision)
Ice Climbers (forward-A... you might send the guy upwards instead depending on whether your AI partner gets a hit too)
Samus (down-A)
Falco (down-A)
Captain Falcon & Ganondorf (down-A)
Mewtwo (down-A)
Kirby? (down-A) I think you have to land with the tips of the feet for the meteor effect.
Ness (down-A)
