Title: How do you catch items in smash bros melee?
Post by: Ichrider on July 02, 2003, 07:43:04 PM

 The wording is all in the text.  I want to know how to catch items in smash bros melee (it would further help to make me invincible!)

Thanks in advance for help!

Why'd you make two of these?  Ah, well.

Press A when the item is right next to you.  You'll catch it.  Takes practice, but I can always catch an item that I throw up on its way down, and occassionally I'm lucky enough to catch other's items.  If you mean mid-air, like in the Cube Forum, that was two minutes ago, so I still don't know.

Press A to catch/pick up. If your timing is right you can grab items thrown at you.

WRONG !!!! that's only the newbie way.

Say a beam sword is on a platform above you.
Jump thru the bottom of the platform and press Z in mid air when your near it.
You should pick it up right when you jump!
TADA!
instant kane your enemies!
This technique (it's called mid-air catching) is best for items like heart container (when it floats down) and parasol (when it floats down) cool huh?
