#how does loxodont consistently kill?

I try to look for opportunities to hit bairs, turn offstage combos into fair/dair/bair kills, and get meatball snipes. His kill power can be a bit wonky since his confirms are a bit all over the place, and he does occasionally just get early kills with his strongs. Tipper ftilt2 is also deceptively strong, so the inherent mixups in that move can sometimes delete someone.
Also a lot of his kills will rely on aerial neutral B “commonly referred to as Tusks”
Like fully charged down B, into double jump backward slight charge Tusk to catch DI in
And will kill off the top early
I never really use down B outside of recovery, so getting that might.. be hard.
but tusks as a kill move? wouldn't that require a heavy read that an up strong couldn't sort out?
Sometimes, but usually it's more of knowing how to get people into enough hitstun to land it. Also, since you can use it in the air, it ends up being a bit more versatile than ustrong
Aerial tusks. You can combo into it
Down B is a combo move that can recover
Honestly, landing air tusks seems really hard
I picked loxodont to avoid having to do combos and kill confirms and all that kinda stuff, mostly picked him for the tech chase and edgeguards
So having to try and kill confirm into a hard to aim move is.. not really the vibe
There's nothing to aim. It's a melee attack when used in the air that kills off the top
Yeah the confirms themselves aren't super hard, it's moreso about hitting the things that lead into tusks
He's one of the mechanically easiest characters in the game imo
Every character has kill confirms. You’re asking for how to kill without doing random smash attacks because his random smash attacks are slow.
If you don’t want to do those then just polish up your edgeguard game
But it’s objectively worse to not combo or kill confirm
If you’re wondering why your opponent won’t just die, that’s why
Game not easy and people won’t just run into your kill moves in neutral a lot of the time if they gain half a brain cell
Watch Gotta love it and millions of other Rivals 2 videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
That's probably my best bet, then.
Good luck
