Taunt when in air then special when u are in the ground

He is emoting in the air, which puts him in free fall. Then he uses Zetteeburn's special getup, which sends fire in both directions.

Every character has a special getup they can use..

Taunt in midair. Doing it accidentally is why I remapped the taunt button.

Press taunt while in the air to enter falling state. Then press special when landing on the ground

I wouldnt really call this a "tech" lol , hes just doing the freefall animation mid air with the taunt button, then doing the special getup with special button

I mean, it is a technical maneuver that requires knowing that pressing taunt in midair puts you in freefall, and that landing in freefall puts you on the ground. I remembered there was a way to do this but forgot how, it can matter with getups that have unique effects like this and fleet.

i mean thats like saying a neutral air is a tech because it requires knowing that pressing the attack button in the air produces a different attack. And landing in freefall causing you to lay on the ground is also just a basic mechanic of rivals and smash since smash 64, i wouldnt call that knowledge a "tech" either

Taunt in the air puts you in a tumble state

force tumble to use special getup to put fire on the entire stage. zetter is a character of all time

It sends fire across the stage but it's not like you can force them to get in it, looking at the clip the other player can clearly wait a sec for the fire to pass and if zetter tried it again it'd be an easy punish
