Falco's Aerial Phantasm to Laser Lock- Doesn't seem to Work

This is a theoretically devastating combo that involves Falco's immediate aerial phantasm to cause the opponent to be instantly spike into the ground and then go into the tumble animation. The hit into the ground is near impossible to tech simply because of the speed at which it happens. However, it seems easy to jump or air dodge after being hit...

I would like to reiterate that this IS NOT A TRUE COMBO IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. I understand that if Snake was in the air when hit with the phantasm, he would be spiked into the ground, but in fact this is somewhat of a fallacy because it allows Snake to tech, thus ending all possibility of it being a true combo.

learn how to play the game properly and what works and what doesnt work, you didnt even do what you were aiming to do in the video therefore the video is completely pointless my friend.

[COOLBIAN57]

You still don't understand why this doesn't work? I can't believe people are still posting on this video.

It is either completely techable or not a true combo, either way it DOES NOT WORK.

And I did exactly what I wanted to do in this video. Read the description of the video and you will notice why I didn't even bother with having Snake jump beforehand.

Why the hell are you short hopping only to use FP on the ground?

Hit snake in the head with it, I think that works...

[COOLBIAN57]

I'm short hopping so I am not performing the phantasm on the ground. This cuts off a whole lot of the lag as opposed to simply using it on the ground regularly. If you are really quick in doing it, it can cut off about half the lag. If you execute the Phantasm at the peak of your short hop, you will have more inherit lag because you have to fall further before you hit the ground. The height at which you perform the phantasm is essentially irrelevant.

u'r doing it wrong u dumbass... not to say that it would work on a human anytways because they can jump out of it. u have to let them fall u cant just start shooting when u turn around. they have to bounce off the ground then u shoot

[COOLBIAN57]

He wasn't going to tumble when he hit the ground! He airdodged during his descent from the air. Sure, I could wait until he falls, and the exact same thing would happen (as is in this video already). I would simply laser him a few times on the ground.

[Hawke90]

ummmmm....both characters must be in the air for the phantasm to spike

[QuaillMan]

It won't spike if Snake is on the ground.

[pessumusprime96]

fail.

[mysticwasteman]

da rason why it did not work is becuase da percentage lol, u were about to have enough but u restarted his health wen u brang up dat menu

[SEGORAS]

If u notice ur on training so he will dodge after phantasm and that fails lasor lock.

[ForDizzyAndMe]

Try adding a down A spike after the Phantasm

[TheForgottenMarioBro]

@COOLBIAN57 It works, your just doing it wrong.

[greenmonstah8889]

if the computer player is on stand in training mode, he will automatically airdodge, just as he will automatically recover if hanging on a ledge. Try putting him on control, and he will no longer do so.

[wyleepirate]

you can bind one of your triggers or z to special, or jump and then just press jump and side special one after another very quickly that's what i do to cancel the lag on my phantasms.
