Nair Viabillity?

[Tranzworld]

After watching many videos online, i notice that many people neglect using the Nair, why is that? I feel it's a core to GaW's air game, and racks up damage quickly (Along with some nice knockback at higher percentages). Personally I love using it and i'm just curious to see why others don't.

(However, I also don't throw as much as others do...maybe i need to just put up some videos to prove my point >.>)

I'm guessing many people are fussy because it's not the parachute anymore. It's still a great move though. When people start to get better, more will use the fishbowl.

the nair is great, it even autocancels

yeah im thinking its probably like the dsmash, we're just not used to using it yet. i often wondered that myself while playing, why don't i use this move more. you guys are right though, it will be used more in the future i think, when we figure out its optimal combo usage

It seems like if you hit with very end of the animation of the nair theres almost no knockback at all, even at really high percents. I've been messing around with short hopping and doing the nair really close to the ground then downsmashing for a kill (or you could grab or jab grab or whatever). Nair is a lot harder to approach with than Bair, so landing the nair seems situational.

Also, i don't know how escapable this is but after hitting someone with a full nair in the air it seems really easy to up b into them. Or at low percents maybe jump-nair-rejump-nair-up b. Maybe.
