Smash Fundamentals Lecture #3 - Aerial Attacks

[superflatwonder]

Sorry about the lack of a class last night, beep. I had some important business to attend to back in my house.Anyway, today's lecture will be about aerial attacks. These are attacks you perform in the air, beep. You'll find yourself in the air a lot more often than you think! In fact, you will find aerial attacks to be among the strongest moves in

*takes a running start and leaps up towards Sac de Sable, the air lifting him easily as he swings a kick up and over his head, catching him as his zips past. Aqua flares around him as his stops his flight, and suddenly shoots straight back down at Sac de Sable, slamming both fists into him before landing hard on the ground in a crouch*

Ah...ow. Is that what you were after, Professor?

[superflatwonder]

Might want to work on that landing a little, beep.

But I like your style! That downwards attack hits with such force, that's called a Meteor Smash, beep. Any strong downward attack like that sends people flying down. Jump over a ledge, use that to send them down to the bottom and jump back to safety for a perfect KO!

[iblistriggered]

I-I think...that's a good idea, Professor, and thanks for the tips.

*grumble* important business...

[superflatwonder]

Oh hello Samus! It was nice of you to jump in with the other students early on, beep. How did you get in and out of your suit that quickly though?

[[OOC Note: Yeah I'm having too much fun with that unintended 'cameo' X^D I assume grumbling is privateish?]]

[icequeen_aran]

Just passing through, Game & Watch.

My suit? I'll leave that my little secret. What's with this school, is this guy spying on me too?!

[superflatwonder]

Very well, Samus! Feel free to stop by any time. Perhaps you could offer your services to help demonstrate for next week's class on defensive measures, beep?

*rolls into the scene and leaps up for an arial cartwheel on mr. Sable*

[superflatwonder]

Nice range, beep! Making good use of your natural dexterity.

[gimmeabanana]

*lands on the edge of the stadium, nearly falling, but pushes his weight forward and lands face first on the ground* D'OOF!

Thanks! eheh! It's something I did a lot of back home. 'Always on my feet and stuff!

*Looks at Mr. Sable back up in the air and impulsively whipped out his barrel jetpacks (where do they come from?) to blast himself back in the air, but then starts to fall again, having no momentum for another attack*

[superflatwonder]

Watching your landing, beep! Try and land on that platform over there *points to one in the back*

[robot_rob]

*tilts his head to the side as he watches the others, then bleeps in an electronic language much like G&W's*
[Pardon me, sir.. but I believe you forgotten an attack. I thought that there could be a possibility of five aerial attacks, yet you have listed four...]
*tilts his arms upwards towards his "face" in a quick jerk shyly, bleeping again* [Then again, I do believe I could be mistaken.. I am sorry if I had mixed up my information.]

[superflatwonder]

Indeed, you have taken my fault ROB! It's good to see you, I hadn't heard from you in a while, beep!

That fifth attack being a neutral aerial attack, which can be just as vital as any other.

[robot_rob]

*beeps* [Ah, so I was right.. thank you, sir. I am glad to be able to talk with you again. I have just been enrolled and I have been trying to catch up on any work I have missed. perhaps before this lesson is over, you could go over what I have missed in your class?]

... *jerks head upwards quickly, whirring* [Oh, I am terrible sorry. I forgot we were in class already. Forgive me.]

*slides onto the fans, which blow him upwards next to de Sable, blipping* [Ah.. strong winds..] *floats over next to de Sable, pauses, and somersaults forward, a flame emmiting from his base hitting the sack* *beeps* [Neutral air..] *hovers above the sandbag relative, pauses again, and hits the poor bag from above with another strong jet blast, sending it down to the floor* *whirrs* [... and down air.]

*hovers off to the side of the field, falling down onto the ground, beeping* [There.. how was that, sir?]

[superflatwonder]

Very impressive, beep! I always can rely on you for consistency and technical prowess. These moves look very powerful indeed, I expect these to turn the tide in any Smash fight.

[torchic_at_sg]

Um... I-I'd liked to try! *takes a running start*

*once above the fans, gets blown away due to light weight*

Eeeeeee! I-I-I-I'm getting blown awayyyyyy!!!! I-I have to at least attack!

*takes deep breath and uses Ember on Sac de Sable; the fire balls slam into Sac de Sable and the impact sends it crashing down. the flames char Sac de Sable turning it black*

I-I got it but... Kyaaaa!!! S-s-s-somebody please help me b-before I get blown awayyyyy!

[superflatwonder]

Don't fear, beep! *leaps into the air using his buddy firemen from his 'Fire' special move and catches Torchic, then floats safely down*

Are you okay? Perhaps I have the fans on too high, beep.

I appreciate your effort beep! However I think your attacks come out too strong. I suppose given the lack of arms (wings?) one could kick or flame to substitute...

Nonetheless, that attack is still very valuable! I would keep this move in mind when we move onto our Special Moves lecture in two weeks.
