There have been threads explaining how to spike with bair: with the tip of Lucas' foot. But one thing I noticed is that it doesn't tell you how to apply that, or show in what situations they should be used. So this is why I made this thread.
__________
First, I will show you how NOT to use the bair spike. One thing that happens is that at first you may be really cautious offstage at first, but later build up confidence and skill (this has happened to me).

If you wait for your opponent to fall into it, you will never succeed.

You must jump high, not slide off.
_____
How to do it:
The part of Lucas' bair that spikes is at the tip of his foot, or inside the curve. It can be hard to pull off, but is oh so satisfying.

If you knock somebody far, it is very difficult to pull off the spike. You need to set it up, as shown in the above video. You must get above your opponent, getting next to them will result in knockback but no spike.

Hitting with the bair and not spiking is common. If you don't spike, don't give up! Use your second jump backwards and try again.

Just a short guide. Many people learn visually, so I figured why not?
