Niko, what are you doing here?

You know you shouldn't be here.

I'm doing a blog right now

And it's not true that I'm out of ideas

Because the setups are so many that I had

to do an other blog for it.

Anyway let's start this blog

1) Side-B Jablock

Spinout setup

I've already explained what a spinout is, but I'll make a short summary anyway.

A "Spinout" is a kill move at high percent that you can do by turning the analog stick in the opposite direction that the cart is facing after a side-b.

Now did you know that if you do a perfect slide on the enemy, you can jablock them even at 0%?

And it also works with every type of character, even thought it's more difficult to tech for fastfallers. It usually work with every type of character from around 0 to 30%

Here's an example. Watch it at 5.23

" The Easy Bake :tm: " footstool setup

Now this is a true combo that works for fastfallers, heavy, medium from 0 to 25%, and for light characters from 0 to 10% ( not sure about that ).

If you have a mechakoopa in your hand, after a side-b you can jump, footstool, down throw or z-drop the mechakoopa, footstole again and sourspot n-air + first jab x2 or first jab x3. Works for both ways.

Here's an example. Watch it at 0.28

"The fastfallers nightmare" :tm: setup

This one is the easiest of all the other setups, and there's a reason why I called it "The fastfallers nightmare :tm: ": all it needs is a fastfaller as your opponent and to perform the combo right to give a really short window for a tech. It works also to medium weight but It's more effective to fastfaller and it works from around 0 to 10/15%.

Here's the combo:

Side-B -> jump -> D-air -> First jab X3

As I said, It's easy.

Platform jablock setup

This one works only on Battlefield and Dreamland, but it works with every type of character from 30% or a little higher ( except light characters, for them works 25/20% ).

Basically you just Side-B and jump. The jump will reach the platform so you can jablock him.

If you're lucky, after the first hit or the first two hits the opponent will fall of the platform: in this case, you can extend the combo by 3 more hits.

Be careful about the position of your opponent thought, because to perform the jablock right, the opponent has to be in the ground and under a platform.

B-air Reset Setup

This trick is hard to land on certain characters and it's hard to perform in general, but not only this setup it's consistent, It's also really powerful, since if done right It can lead into a 0 to death with one side-b ( results may vary with characters, but here's what I'm talking about. )

There are various methods to make this setup, but by far the most efficient one ( at least for me ), is to wait until Jr reaches the peak of his footstool jump after the side B and FF b-air, to get the reset.

Here's an explanatory video made by Stepcat about this setup:

2) Footstool jablocks

Grounded footstool setup

This is the simpliest one of the footstool jablock setups and It's similar the previous one, even thought it's more difficult. The thing that changes is that you have to do a grounded footstool to perform it instead of side-b.

Here's an example. Watch it at 0.24

There's​ a video about the grounded footstole combos ( out of shield or not ) made by the Beefy Smash Doods. If you want more details about the topic, go and check it out.

Double footstool jablock setup

This one is really cool to perform but If you want it to perform right, you have to be really time restricted, you got to look at the percentage depending the type of enemy character and, most important, the position of the mechakoopa.

Basically you footstool the enemy before he reaches the mechakoopa and after he gets exploded by It. Really stylish to perform after a shield break.

Break Time :tm:

Are you tired of reading all these combos?

No worries.

Relax yourself a bit with a little break, brought to you by Cr3misis Corporation :tm: .

Alright let's continue

3) Other jablock setups

Mechakoopa ledge jablock setup

Do you the mechakoopa invincibilty tech? And if you go to the ledge while holding the mechakoopa, you'll be invincible?

No? Well...

Check this out first!

I know it's a mixup and It does not work if the opponent's character has a fast move to use before it touches the ground, but at low% is a guaranteed combo and it works with every type of character.

After you take your first stock, do the "Mechakoopa invincibilty" tech and grab the ledge. If the opponent gets hit by mechakoopa and doesn't tech, do a neutral stand-up option and make a first jab for three times.

The basic jablock setup

There are only two things to say about this setup:

- It's like Mario's, so It's easy to perform

- It works for around 40% for medium weights and light weights. 50/45% for heavies

4) Perfect follow-ups/punishes

Ok, you've done your jablock in a match. You can do whatever you want to deal massive damage or even kill the opponent. But...

What can you really do to perform a perfect punish?

It all depends on percentages:

- If it's low, you can perform a perfect 50/50 kill setup to kill the opponent at every percent and weight:

D-air -> 2 or 3 U-tilt -> U-air -> Jump -> Up-b -> Hammer ( if the up-b hits )

- If It's mid, you can decide to style your opponent by doing the double footstole jablock setup and then doing a up-b + hammer to finish the stock. Even a single jab after the double footstole is fine.

- If It's too high, a charged F-smash or a Up-b with hammer will do the job.

There's a different punish for the platform jablock, that rely on the opponent's percentage:

- ( low% ) = U-tilt for 2 or 3 times -> up-air -> Jump -> up-b   -> hammer ( if up-b hits )

- ( mid% ) = FF d-air -> jump > f-air -> up-b -> hammer ( if up-b hits )

- ( high% ) = Charged F-smash or Up-b + hammer
