Razor Leaf: Difference between revisions

With this move, Ivysaur sends a leaf as a ranged attack, making between 5%-8% of damage. It may curve mildly in a random direction at the end of its reach. It is very useful for canceling others' attacks. This strategy is often used when recovering back on to the stage with Ivysaur, as its [[Up Special Move]] is only a tether recovery (see [[Vine Whip]]) and a projectile must be used to clear [[edge-guarding|edge-guarders]] and [[Edge-hogging|edge-hogs]]. Nonetheless, despite the leaf's long range, it will disappear after a short while and has a slight arc, so Ivysaur players must be in a decent position to the opponent before unleashing the move. Razor Leaf can actually be "Smash-thrown", like {{SSBB|Samus}}'s [[missile]]s, by tapping [[Image:GCN ControlStick R S.png|20px]]. This makes the leaf travel a bit faster, and about a character or two character lengths further, but the trajectory cannot be arced as effectively. Due to its high startup lag, low knockback, slow speed, and unpredictable trajectory, it is considered to be one of the worst projectiles in ''Brawl''.
