Roy's foward air as recovery?

[Nexis]

Yea, so sometimes out of luck, I use the c stick and foward a and at the same time jump. I noticed that my roy went up much higher and travled a greater distance than a regualr jump (i think) Maybe I saw it wrong, but yea, wanted to know if anyone else knew about this, or know its wrong. If it is, I sincerly appologize.

I'm not sure, I've seen Neo do this in some of his videos, it seems to send him further, but I can't say for sure.

[stargirl]

did you c stick forward after your double jump?

[Nexis]

I think so. I dont know if it was right after, or at the same time as my jump.

I saw NEO do it in a vid, so I tried it out once for like an hour on Hyrule Temple, and my conclusion was it doesn't actually send you any farther (on v1.2 atleast). You're just taking advantage of the upward momentum carried by the 2nd jump to allow him to throw in an attack. Doing fair out of your second jump I guess is a good habit, just in case, because it can deflect projectiles.
Actually, prolly the best thing you can do against projectile spammers is to not use your second jump right away, and wait for their projectile to come out you to second jump fair so that you'll block it.
