Jab follow-ups

Hi everyone, I'm trying to work on my laser spacing. I've seen DP do a lot of work with SHLs to f-tilt, but I've also noticed some Falcos do SHLs to a spaced jab. However, I can't really remember what they do afterwards. Is the appeal of the jab just that it comes out even faster than f-tilt, or is there a follow-up I should be looking for? Is it sort of like lasers where there's no "reliable" follow-up, but it messes up their inputs?

Thanks

Jab Grab the answer is pretty much everything you just need to figure out what's risky like Jab FSmash they could CC the Jab and punish you but thats only at low percentage tho

Falco's shine is very close range and a jab may push your opponent out of range or get you shield-grabbed.

Jab follow-ups are good vs. floaties, you can jab- Stilt/Fsmash depending on their DI.

SHL-Ftilt is great for poking.
