Switch will release at the same speed as he would otherwise, so use his special just as the ball is about to release regularly to catch your enemies off guard. You can still activate switchflip out of a smash and a regular hit, of course (not down airs, though). The hitbox for the switchflip is around your waist/the skateboard, so if you try an aerial switchflip and the ball comes at you from above, you'll still get hit (unless you do an Aussie, in which case you are instead vulnerable to getting hit from below). If the special doesn't connect, your special meter won't get used up, so you can keep throwing out switchflips in the air until you get one. The picture above shows Switch throwing out his special in the air without having the ball. You can also hold taunt while crouching or while riding on the ceiling to do a grounded version and an upside down version (sometimes called and Aussie). To do this, just jump and hold the Taunt button while in the air. What sets it apart is that it can be used without actually having to hit the ball first. On its own, it's pretty straightforward, sending the ball at a unique, steeply horizontal angle. Here is a picture of just his smash angles. You can send the ball straight down by holding down, above and behind you by holding back, and at a steep downwards angle in front of you by holding forward. On smashes, it is about as steep as a regular swing down angle.įor down airs, the angles are the same as regular down air angles. On regular swings, it's much steeper than the regular swing down angle.
The angles you can release the Candyball at are as follows: This speed change combined with the warp allows you to trick opponents by getting the ball behind them. This means that if you activate a Candyball at low speeds, it will go about the same speed as if you activated it at high speeds. The speed of the Candyball is pretty much set. ( Here is a brief video clip showing a Candyball being hit multiple times. What this means is that as long as you can keep hitting it, it will always stay as a Candyball. However, if you predict where the ball will go, you can hit it again while it's still a Candyball, and it will reset its lifespan. If you start it very close to a wall, it can travel just barely far enough to warp twice before disappearing, but usually the ball will only last long enough for one warp. The Candyball will warp to the opposite wall that it passes through. Also note that Candyman cannot bunt out of his special. Because of this, you will want to use his special just as he is about to release the ball to give your enemies less time to react. When he uses his special, the ball will transform in his hands, but will still release it at the same time that it usually does.

Purple lines are regular hit angles, while green ones are bunt angles. This image shows a rough sketch of what his angles are. Combine this with a double jump or a fast fall, and you can bunt out of your special and smash the ball very quickly. You can go straight vertically up or down, or diagonally up-left/up-right. The angles you can release at are a bit different when you bunt. If you hold the Bunt button while in the tornado animation, the ball will be bunted when it is released instead of hit. You can use this to fake out people who try to predict the timing of the release.
This will make you stay in the tornado animation for a second longer before releasing the ball, and add a bit more speed to it. You can also delay the ball release by holding the Swing button when you activate the special. This gives you six different trajectories to send the ball that you can choose, and launches very quickly. You can send it horizontally in front or behind you, or diagonally up/down in front or behind you. While you're in this spin, you can hold a direction to send the ball to. When he uses it, he flies into a tornado-looking spin (see the picture above). Raptor can use his special out of a regular hit or a smash hit.
