This will be kinda hard to word but

Is it just me or can you not be facing right and up-b to the left? Like... To change direction for a recovery. I can be facing left and change directions into up-b to the right just fine but haven't done facing right and changing to the left successfully once. Follow me?

I'm able to change to that direction just fine.

are you using the arrow keys for movement?

Yes

If you're using a keyboard, then it might a key roll over issue since I can do it just fine. Use this link: http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplained.mspx to see if the key combination is actually registered for you.

Damn, it's not. :\ I guess I'll have to adjust to falcon kicking to switch directions when facing that way. Thanks for the help

that's the problem
arrow keys, for whatever reason, don't allow a person to press 2 arrows + other keys a lot of the time.
I've noticed this in past demos, so it's the only reason I made the switch to using WASD back in version 0.5

Really? That seems so weird... y would designers do dis ;_;

I play with keyboard and I can do turnaround up-b's with every character.

1) Hold up.
2) Hold the direction you want to be turning around to.
3) While holding both of those directional keys, press special.

I can do this with both WASD and arrow keys on various keyboards.

Your key combination with those various keyboards just happened to work. It depends on the keyboard and his particular key combination (in this case his special button). Different keyboards can't process specific combinations. Most cheap/regular keyboards (including laptop keyboards) only have 2KRO(meaning the minimum amount of keys the keyboard will process at one time is 2). My laptop keyboard can't do certain 3 key combinations, but my dell keyboard can do most of them.

Come on, man. I know how to recover. lol I learned the problem though, it's just my keyboard. I'd switch to numberpad 8456 but I play with a lot of people and all the keys are basically taken. :\

Did anyone else notice that you're able to turn around during the early Falcon Punch startup?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's always had the 180 Falcon Punch. It's a feature taken from Brawl.

You can also do a reverse neutral special, so you can do a 360 falcon punch lol.

little highlight from my stream lol
