DJC Aerials on the ground...

I recently discovered Peach's ability to do DJC aerials and it has improved my game quite a bit. I often do quick DJC nairs and bairs at ground level, and sometimes DJC uair as well. DJC uair can juggle some characters several times. I know this isn't a Ness board but the way this Ness player DJC's aerials is the way I DJC aerials with Peach...The first 30 seconds of this video should be enough.

I found it a bit strange because whenever I play against a Peach or see Peach videos, I never see them do this. Is it because floating is better/just as fast? I find DJC aerials convenient because I'm quickly on the ground again and able to follow up with another attack faster. I also DJC aerials while high in the air, but not as often.

How often do you use DJC aerials at ground level? And are there any tips to use them better?

It's usually not the best option for Peach due to float cancelling and being very floaty. DjC nair out of shield is very good and can punish a lot , but other than that it's not so much her thing.

IT is certainly not a bad thing to have in your arsenal.

Blah.

DJC is good for certain things, but all in all float cancelling is much more effective. Although IMO it is easier to DJC aerials right above ground, you can also accomplish the same using FC. One draw back of DJC is the aerials still have to be L-canceled. Also I've found that my opponents (the good ones) will or eventually figure out when a DJC aerial is coming due to the floaty sound Peach makes. As mentioned in the post above I think the DJC Nair & Bair is most useful (expecially out of a shield).
