Ladder (technique): Difference between revisions

[[Image:LuigiLadder-Melee.gif|200px|thumb|right|A ladder can be used to stall infinitely past the blast line.]]

The technique's use, however, is most infamous in ''Melee''. Changes to Luigi's Super Jump Punch causes the technique to instead send the two Luigi's straight upward, and the team can even jump up beyond the upper [[blast line]]. Applied usage of the technique can also allow for recovery options, though the lack of horizontal distance from Super Jump Punch makes this a situational use. The Luigis do not KO each other since Super Jump Punch has no [[knockback]]. Similar variants of the technique involving attacks like {{SSBM|Link}}'s [[Spin Attack]] and {{SSBM|Samus}}' [[Screw Attack (move)|Screw Attack]] end up KOing the characters when they cross the blast line.

While carried over for ''Brawl'', the two Luigis now KO each other upon crossing the upper blast line; despite this, it can be used for stalling against a ceiling.

In ''Ultimate'', like ''Melee'', the Luigi ladder does not KO at the upper blast line, however, this property invokes a glitch. As the two Luigi's continually rise, the character markers on the edge of the screen start to leave the middle of the top of the screen and start going to the sides. Once they reaching the sides, they go to the bottom of the screen and begin to come to the middle as the Luigis rise. Adding to that, the character markers show the many sprites of the Luigis as they rise. In addition to this, if both Luigis are on their last stock, the [[Finish Zoom]] effect will constantly play after the Luigis reach the upper blast line, however neither of the Luigis will get KOed.

The Cloud ladder functions similarly to the Shulk ladder, with two {{SSB4|Cloud}}s repeatedly using [[Climhazzard]] one after the other and canceling helplessness using the other player's attack. However, the laddering players must be weary of their [[Limit]], as this technique will slowly charge each player's Limit Gauge. If a player fully charges their Limit Gauge, it is possible to preserve the ladder by waiting a moment and falling a bit before using Limit Climhazzard; however, at high percents, a rising hit will KO the other Cloud. It is possible to continue laddering after a Limit Climhazzard under a stage like [[Smashville]] or a wall-less [[Ω form]] stage if the attacked Cloud successfully performs a [[tech]] on the ceiling, but this is not safe: not only could the Cloud miss the tech, but many characters can access those areas of stages and interrupt the ladder without risk of losing a stock, such as with {{SSB4|Sheik}}'s [[Bouncing Fish]] or with a straight-flying projectile like {{SSB4|Link}}'s [[Boomerang]].
