So, I was labbing Bowser in 1.1.3 and came across a pretty interesting thing by accident. Apparently, you can combo F-air into Whirling Fortress at lower %s.

Now I dunno the limitations on this, and it does seem very strict to time, but I managed to confirm a 9-hit true combo on Bowser with Whirling Fortress, when Fortress only hits 8 times naturally.

Through further testing, I found you can combo F-air > Fortress reliably on ZSS at 20%.

On top of Fortress, you can also jab into it from similar %s as Fortress up until about 30% (tested on ZSS again), which with the new grab strength, gives you a few pretty nasty follow-up options.

Just looking to see if this was known before or if it's new, etc. if anyone had any more info on it and the like.

I think @KingKong_ad made a video about this recently. Fair can lead to a bunch of moves at low percents, even fsmash.
