I tried the K Rool Up Smash on this Stream. Gave up. That shit sucks
Zamn
true
I got it once
Ye, respect for trying
True
Now we need a collab with TCNick to see who can get the weird spikes first
Literally tho
Rush to get the k rool up smash spike
Tcnick3 got it on a link who was probably bad at the game and it two framed
Nick already collabed with Poppt and Little Z so it's definitely possible
If you do this again, try the Bayo FAir spike (99% of people don't even know that exists, can't blame them tho).
If you do the bullet arts on her FAir 3, i.e. hold attack while doing it, she shoots out her bullet arts. The bullets coming from her heel-guns have a weak spike on them.
Its like Joker down gun but infinitely worse :)
roy up smash too, and luigi
Kazuya down air spike
WHAT
@@Ravenous22 YEeeeeah my man!
I got killed by the bullet arts of her upair by spiking me to my grave mid fox recovery in smash 4.
Not the actual hitbox
The BULLET ARTS spiked me.
As a wii fit trainer main, I actually got that spike alot. Granted, it was never on purpose, but I do see it a lot.
The grounded version is amazing for comboing on deep breath. It combos into fsmash even.
I go for it alot and succeed alot. Its not used often so a lot of people dont know how to react. You can hit multiple grounded ones a bunch in a row. And you can also just run off forward air if they keep going low and you can catch them with the spike.
Yeah, thats me and mii swordfighter.
A fellow wii fit main? A once in a lifetime experience.
"There are no accidents."
- Yellow F. WFT main
Hopcat: "This character is easy to spike"
Also Hopcat: "He's got to many recovery mix-ups!!!"
Thats just skill for ya
Also, Robin’s up b doesn’t spike when angled straight down, it spikes just as the projectile comes out, kind of like how most suicide down airs don’t spike with sourspot boxes.
Zss laughing
@@bnsz8704 robins? no
nobody was wondering bro
“Common”
@@Its_Jimmy_Time i was about to say the same thing XD
“Nobody knows this because no one has tried to hit this before” -hopcat
TCNick: *exists*
My friend landed the Little Mac down air on a Bowser once, in bracket, on the stream set up.
Safe to say the whole venue pop off lmao
Where can I see this clip???
@@BestPal_M I'll see if I can find it, this happened sometime last year
I've been Mac daired twice... on Elite Smash. I then decided to stop playing Smash for a month each time afterwards.
Fun fact! As a Robin main, I have discovered that footstool to Up-B spike is a true combo! Most spikes have like a delay period after footstooling, but the Up-B can be activated immediately as you footstool someone for a free spike.
That's perfect against multi-jumpers
Going to use this online after some practice
About to practice that one
I actually pulled of the Reflected MegaMan up air spike and freaked out
Yo how tf?
That is pog
I actually hit it randomly one time, that was exciting
Same
I hit it as krool lol
As a robin, it’s so easy to build percent on k rools by just doing up b. Cause if they recover low hit them with both shots, recover high Levin aerial. Or if you space it right spike with the up b
K Rool's up B is trash if you have a character who can abuse it. I main Sephiroth, and that MU is unplayable because if I miss my edge guard, up B hits him anyways.
0:09 this man completely forgot about TcNicks killing with every spike move series...
When the third one was revealed as gunner... I was so confused. It's a genuinely good spike. Yeah, is spikes for a very short amount of time, but it's pretty big and comes out really fast. Thought it was gonna be about their down air cuz their down air IS terrible
Yeah, it's just weird
I was surprised too because i always saw the underdogs use this spike with gunner and i often use it a lot too
Dair is completely trash compared to up B.
As a mii gunner semi main, I agree with everything you just said.
King K Rool Up Smash has a spike hitbox too.
I thought of that immediately when I saw the title
Yeahhhhh he missed out on a lot of misery
@don't be surprised no k rool up smash is not here that is why we're like bruh
He already tried and he said he gave up
@@exorted3179 i commented this before he posted that comment
“You’d never seen this before”
Tcnick: you ain’t shit man
Ah. Robin Elwind spike. It’s one of the most uncommon spikes in the game. It’s weird. And it’s quirky. And kinda random. But when it hits… it feels oddly satisfying.
@The monsus battle bus I landed the spike on several occasions… on accident. I feel like a better person when I do it.
@The monsus battle bus fun fact: I always go for it
Hopcat: Meet elkcuC!
Cuckle: Finally.... A worthy opponent...
A spike that I never see anyone talk about is Ganon's final smash spike when he turn into the beast and swings the two swords, that spikes. Try that, its very fun to do.
HopCat: no one has tried to land this before
TCNick3: am I a joke to you
God. Robin Elwind spike. As a Robin main, I ADORE getting to rarely hit that. I think I've done about two in real matches. It's supposedly like, the first ___ (3? 5?) Frames of the move coming out and you have to be RIGHT up on them.
4:05 Donkey Kong
6:12 Wii Fit
7:25 Mii gunner
9:18 Mii sword
13:54 Lil Mac
16:34 Robin
HopCat: He SD’d after I hit the move. That definitely doesn’t count.
TCNick: ...
9:20
"DON'T COME BACK, YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!"
*"...and here we witness the breakdown of a man."*
I remember once I reflected the spike hitbox of Robins up b back at him with joker counter and killed him from it
I don't think I'm ever going to see that happen again in my life
If you want it, the hardest spike in the game to land is mii brawlers onslaught side b. This is because it's not even meant to spike. The move is the one where you dash forward, and if you hit someone, you do a ton of attack and stuff. The 2nd to last hit spikes with set knockback and sends up into the final hit. If you can hit the move on the ledge, they will get spiked before the last hit connects. It never kills through unless it's a little Mac or something.
Yes !! Do this one
Krool up smash is harder by a mile, you can catch someone going past the ledge with grounded onslaught and it kills way easier
@@Kyara7 but the spike, Luke is said, has set knockback. It literally CANNOT kill. At 999% It does the same knockback as at 0, and it's not much. Also, the opponent has to be literally rolled back against the ledge as far as possible. Also the mii brawler one can't hit aerial opponents. If the opponent is in the air, they just flinch into the last hit and don't get spiked. Mii brawler Is certainly harder
@@PersonManGuyMale Let's say that your opponent has a recovery that doesn't snap to the ledge very well and has bad vertical recovery, like Terry. If Terry recovers low and doesn't snap, you can easily catch him with onslaught and gimp him. This doesn't only apply to Terry, he's just the best example.
With Krool up smash, your opponent needs to be in a very specific position farther above the ledge than the activation for onslaught, and you have a single frame window to do it. Not only do you have to be insanely precise, but it also has just as low if not lower knock back than the onslaught hitbox.
I've tried going for both of these spikes. Onslaught I was able to do after just a few hours, but I've never been able to land the KRool up smash even after weeks of on and off practice on lower gsps. TCNick did a whole series on every move and his hours of footage on KRool shows just how obscenely difficult it is to land.
Ayyyy Mii Brawler has 4 spikes like DK then
That Kirby ended Hop’s sanity. After that he went into a mental health institute and was never the same.
I would argue one of the hardest spikes would be Ganon Side-B in the air. You have to hit the very ledge and they have to have no ledge grabs left.
Have you heard of K-Rool up-smash
I have…that’s considerably easier than this one
Caught this on stream, needless to say probably some of the most fun I’ve had watching one. Content been going crazy fr lately
Hop: ZACK!
Little Z: what?
Hop: WHERE’S MY SUPER AMOUR?
Little Z: What?
Hop: WHERE. IS. MY SUPER AMOUR?
0:13 Hi past me!
I like how every win was the best version of a hopcat win
When I heard there was gonna be a bonus round, I was expecting the Hero Kaklang drop down spike just because of how difficult it is to get the set up just to ATTEMPT to do it and that's something I could definitely see not being able to get. But Robin's Up B spike is difficult too. Overall great video and it was really funny seeing those Little Mac matches
Honorable mention: plant down air
The buffs barely made it easier because of the gigantic sour spot
Also honorable mention wii fit side b
the thing about robin's spike, is that Ive seen it all the time because there are 3-4 robin's in my region. its really common here
I've hit every spike as a challenge so this was a treat to watch hopcat struggle after me
Hopcat: does a spiking challenge.
Tcnick3: hold my beer.
I feel like the mii gunner dair is harder to hit them the up b spike
as a robin main i didnt know about the up special spike till i hit it the first time about half a year ago
Hope this series continues to see Plant's spike. It's hard to hit but so satisfying when you do
To answer Hopcat's question at 13:47 in the video; Yes, the move (Luigi-Down B) is invincible on frames 4-8 on the ground, and 1-7 in the air. Fun fact for chat; Luigi's side-b and up-b are also invincible at the start. Who actually designed this character?
I think it’s always to funny when a TH-camr gets super mad that they get destroyed when they just got outplayed, very good vid btw
Got* sorry for typo
Part 2 with the easiest spikes? Like Kazuya downsmash at the ledge and Ganon spikes. Any games you don’t get a spike in you have to add 1 shot of tabasco sauce to a a glass of water and at the end of 10 games of sweating you either get a refreshing ice water or a spicy punishment.
Rarest spikes I know of:
1) King Krool up smash
2) Kazuya down air
3) Robin up b
4) Ridley down air
5) Luigi taunt
How about mega man reflected up air?
Since when did kazuya dair spike?
@@rogue524 there’s like a 1 frame window where it spikes
While he was going for the rarest spikes, he said the rarest thing a gamer could say
‘That was my fault’
2:11 It's not about winning, It's about-
Here is where I though he was going to quote Alpharad.
if ever you or Little Z need another 24 hour stream, just race Nick to do the K Rool up smash spike first...
Lol TCNick would've counted the gimps and SDs. Good on you Hop!
Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air
My therapist: Walter White-Kirby is not real, he can't hurt you.
Walter White-Kirby: 11:50
Heisenkirb doesn't exist, Heisenkirb can't hurt you
Heisenkirb: 11:50
You're goddamn wrong
I actually didn't know Robin's up B spiked until I accidentally got it while practicing as Robin!
If I don't see King K. Rool's up smash in this video, it's not a good video.
uh oh
@@HopCatSmash Rarest spikes part 2? 👀
@@HopCatSmash TCHopCat3
@@HopCatSmash You tried and I respect it.
2 more rare spikes:
Wii fit ball-less side b can spike.
And apparently one specific onslaught hit can spike.
Little note on the Robin Up+B spike: the best way to get it is to not go for it. Ever. It's a stupid spike hitboxes that almost never comes into play. Do not suffer unless it's for content.
"I'm from Australia, the boomerang is supposed to be on my side!"
-Peter Hopcat 2022
"I am extremely calm" -Lines said by exactly zero extremely calm people ever.
Plant dair isn’t necessarily rare to see, but it is deceptively hard to land if you don’t know the spacing since the sour spot has priority over the spike hitbox
I'm surprised that he didn't also try Mii Brawler onslaught spike considering he did both the other Mii's, and actually kinda plays Mii brawler.
Zack would have counted that one DK spike on K. Rool where the K. Rool traded with it but SDed
Also glad the editor kept in the ending of the match.
Not sure about Ultimate but back in brawl they decided to give Ike's neutral special a sweet spot that would spike if it hit, I only remember being able to hit an offstage spike with it once despite how many hours I've played that game.
Hopcat: Little Mac down air stinks...
TCNick3: First time?
Palu’s nair when trading with another hit box spikes the opponent. Foxs fair drag down operates kind of like a spike as well
I see less of Mii Gunner’s down air spike than the up special spike
Here's a video idea for you and the other Underdogs - tryhard GSP recovery for all the unsuccessful challenges
I think hopcat is just the most yolked Mii player of all time.
Recommended spikes to try: Pyra up-b(doesn't kill a 999%pichu if he's not right above the blastzone). Mega-man reflected up air (only spikes you, and has to be reflected). Peach bomb spike: pull bobomb throw straight down.
This is basically like TCNICK3’s Getting Spike Series.
But this is HopCat’s getting the impossible Spike series.
I can say as a mii gunner main, that spike doesn't count as hard
DK Side B was a sick dunk in Smash4, I really miss cheesing with it
Fun fact: if you work at security at a Samsung store you will be a guardian of the galaxy
As a robin main i can say for all of us that up special spike is the best way to disrespect a t bagger
K.Rool Up smash spike?
Edit: Aight, never mind then :(
K rool up smash, little Mac down air, Terry back special, Wii fit side special, and Terry power dunk.
Those are 5 freaking difficult spikes
4:56 I’m so used to Little Z syncing music with the video so I thought you’d spike them there 😅
Hey Hop, try to incorporate the in-game sound, you know, an entire video based on spikes and never hearing that *chef kiss* satisfying sound they have...
Now try wii fit header spike and K rool up smash spike. K rool’s up smash has one frame on the way down where it is a very weak spike, and header isn’t too bad but you have to space it perfectly so the ball doesn’t also hit the opponent.
fun fact: the blue force line whatever thingy comes out when you spike the opponent at 209% as little mac
Please make this a series
As a Robin main, you basically have to be standing on top of them like to footstool, but you Up B instead to get the spike. It can be done intentionally but yeah even as a main of this character it usually happens by chance lol
“Nobody knows this cause nobody has tried to hit this before” All 18 Robin mains (myself included) disliked that.
Hardest spike in the game in my opinion is K-Rool up smash only seen/done it once on accident
Agreed, he should try this one
Most people probably don’t even know that Ike’s eruption can spike and it’s an extremely precise hit box
I think kazuya dair, sora jab 1, and brawler mach punch(?) are some pretty uncommon spikes, but also incredibly infuriating to actually land.
TCNick will gladly teach you about megaman’s reflected up air, pyra’s up b, k rool’s up smash or even falco’s side b. But there are much more weird spikes he could tell you about
ngl that kirby on stream was probably the most disappointing thing i’ve saw
Fun fact: water is just thick air
I was up at 4 am with a stomach bug and got to catch some of this stream, it was a blast.
Elkcuc. Another beautiful specimen. Reveal to the Underdogs when?
I frequently kill with Little Mac Dair on 12 million gsp. You can do it to characters like DK, Ganon, Captain Falcon, Cloud, Roy, Falco, most characters with vertical recoveries without guarding hitboxes on their heads. I’ve even killed Lucina with it on a few occasions.
Luigi down taunt and k rool up smash are what I thought was going to be there
Robin’s elwind spike is never something I land intentionally but it’s always so much fun when I do. People talk about byleth’s reversals but Robin has some nice ones too sometimes
Btw you can combo it out of footstool usually as long as you buffer it
For the next episode you should do olimar’s final smash because it has a spike hitbox
Surprised not to see Dedede's up B spike here
Ganon dair is a very rare spike
i already know the bonus one is k rool up smash xd haven't even seen the vid yet
Now it's time for the reflected Megaman Up Air spike!
Reflected Mega Man Up Air, mii brawler side b, and King K Rool Up Smash Spikes:
*HELLO THERE*
You should do Mii Brawler Head on Assault which is an option for down b (it’s not hard to hit it’s just funny)
Next, try the mii brawler side-b onslaught. You have to do it on the ledge. It's really hard
Hope u do more of this. This was awesome
