Crown bouncing: Difference between revisions
Gave this a cleanup, as well as minor updates for the current year. Crown bouncing has advanced significantly in competitive play. I would just remove crownless bounce entirely as it's basically just c-bouncing the no crown animation.

Crown Bouncing is an [[advanced technique]] exclusive to {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[Crownerang]] attack.

While difficult to set up, it's considered to be a powerful movement option for K. Rool's [[neutral game]].

This is essentially a forced [[b-reverse]] of the Crown Pickup animations. By directing the control stick in the opposite direction just as K.

By directing the control stick in the opposite direction just as K. Rool grabs his crown in the air, he will fly in the opposite direction as if he executed a b-reverse. However, he will go further than if he b-reversed Crownerang itself, as picking up the crown influences his aerial drift. | ||
This is best used with platforms for movement, as K. Rool will experience no [[landing lag]]. This is because picking up the crown reduces K.

Crown Bouncing is also used during recovery in circumstances where it is possible, as it adds another bit of horizontal distance that can be crucial if K. Rool is launched far. This is because while there is lag, in edgeguard situations it is far more difficult to intercept than on land. This also allows for buffer options to be performed through the pickup animation, enabling [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Up aerial|up aerial]] recovery without [[hitstun]] stopping K. Rool from rising.

===Reverse Crown Bounce=== | ===Reverse Crown Bounce=== | ||
In a similar manner to Crown | In a similar manner to [[Crown sliding]], it's possible to execute a reverse crown bounce through utilizing the [[C-Stick]], or a very quick directional input in the opposite direction. This serves as a mixup to reduce the distance a normal Crown Bounce would send a player, as well as ensure K. Rool is facing his opponent. Like the regular crown bounce, this is primarily used for platform movement, but can also be used to space aerials off-stage, most notably [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Back aerial|back aerial]]. | ||

This tech makes use of King K. Rool's "No Crown" animation | This tech makes use of King K. Rool's "No Crown" animation. Crownless Bounces can be very useful when combined with Crown Landing, turning them into movement options. The pivot jump can allow for some very useful platform control, as K. Rool will land at the perfect time for his landing lag to cancel on Battlefield's side platforms Due to the utility of this maneuver, it's been dubbed Crownless Bouncing. | ||
It is also possible to Crown Bounce via C-Stick Macro Specials<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gbZJn8CHMk</ref> while not having the crown at all (thus using the crown pickup animation). This is known as a C-Stick Macro Crownless Bounce. This allows for a wavebounce or pivot jump depending on the inputs; the traditional input causes the pivot jump, while inputting two forward or backward inputs instead of the traditional way causes the wavebounce to occur. While the pivot jump is a movement mixup at best (most notably for [[back aerial]] meteor smashes), the wavebounce is notable for how far it sends K. Rool back. This aids him in zoning, being able to follow up with a wavebounce into [[Blunderbuss]] after throwing the crown out. | It is also possible to Crown Bounce via C-Stick Macro Specials<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gbZJn8CHMk</ref> while not having the crown at all (thus using the crown pickup animation).
